Voters in the #NWT have a Con candidate that won't show for debates and a Green candidate parachuted into the riding who is now in jail. Guess we have a 2-horse race between NDP and Liberals! https://www.nanaimobulletin.com/home2/deputy-green-leader-rainbow-eyes-sees-jail-time-slashed-in-old-growth-protest-7937362
Last night, a friend organised a nighttime bike ride on the ice road to the neighbouring village of Dettah. It's about 6.5km across the frozen bay. It was quite slippery on the glare ice, even with studded tires, so we went at a leisurely pace and chatted away. When we got to Dettah, as if on cue, the #aurora erupted into a dancing, swirling riot of colour. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen, which I hope comes across in these low res. photos. We stood enrapt in our bike helmets, or lay back on the ice to save our craning necks until it settled down into a placid glow in the distance before biking back to town.

#NWT Con candidate refused interview with @CBCNorth now backs out of @cabinradio debate. #Poilievre's #authoritarian party is silencing voices during the campaign. Imagine what kind of #Canada he would run. https://cabinradio.ca/230175/news/politics/cabin-radio-election-debate-set-for-april-10-conservative-backs-out/
Next in my Canada 
series: the Northwest Territories with its territorial symbols the gyrfalcon and mountain avens flowers on my hand-carved linocut map of NWT. The block was inked 'à la poupée' (with different colours, gray-brown, green and yellow, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

The Great Crested Grebe decided to have one last check of its original fishing spot before it moved away.
It wasn’t happy with its first fishing spot so tried a bit further out into the broad.
We were at NWT Ranworth Broad on Sunday. Kicking off a series of photos are this pair of Mallard.
