As a fellow Canadian, I can say we have almost all of the biome’s, its kinda awsome!

Tends to get a little crowded for sound quality unfortunately!
Means it’s time to utilize the talking stick!
I’m in for Shared Pants Thursdays. Temperate rainforests are a thing and I’d love to make arboreal octopi a thing.
