Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people.

A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow.

May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.

Milan is both lovely and expensive. We were there briefly as part of a tour, and I would go back if prices were reasonable.

"American Woman" by The Guess Who (1970) is a famous rock song, largely interpreted as an anti-war, anti-materialism protest song disguised as a romantic complaint, reflecting Canadian perspectives on U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The lyrics "stay away from me" symbolize a rejection of American war machines and urban decay. 
Key Interpretations of the Song's Meaning:
Anti-War/Anti-US Sentiment: Randy Bachman (guitarist) explained it was a protest song against the Vietnam War and the U.S. draft,, expressing a desire for Canada to stay away from American conflicts.

The U.S. team using American Woman for their ice dance competition at the Olympic Games is an interesting choice

If reading these letters doesnโ€™t fill you with a deep and urgent need to burn these concentration camps to the ground after releasing their prisoners, you wouldโ€™ve been on the wrong side in WWII.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martรญnez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

When he gave the Grammy to that young boy who made everyone think of Liamโ€ฆeven if that wasnโ€™t actually Liam, it was just the perfect way of cutting through all the bullshit.

Every kid impacted by this administrationโ€™s cruelty is another Liam.
