A new report confirms it: Canada shipped over 175,000 munitions to Israel in April alone. Bullets. Grenades. Explosives.

All while our government claims it’s “paused” new permits. What they won't say? Existing permits are still being used. And the violence continues.

We are watching a genocide unfold. And Canadian-made weapons may be part of it.

I’ve heard from many of you- angry, heartbroken, unsure of what to do.

Here’s something we can do: Email your MP.
Tell them this is unacceptable. Tell them to demand a full arms embargo and recognition of Palestine.

I’ll drop a form letter in the comments. You can copy, paste, and send it in minutes.

This moment is heavy. But our silence would be heavier.

My 8 year old niece took me aside this weekend, and asked me to refresh her memory on which of her garden weeds are good to graze on... I call this a sure sign of Spring! 🌱

Here are some of my favourite recipes featuring young, tender wild greens.

Stay tuned for more early Spring herbal sharing over the upcoming weeks, and a first herb walk announcement for Antigonish-area folks!
