As Seamus Heaney wrote:

History says, don’t hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

Opinion | Trump Won’t Win a War Against the Courts (Gift Article) The judiciary will never surrender to the president its constitutional role to interpret the Constitution.

"It’s called due process, which is guaranteed by the Constitution to ensure that no person is deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law."

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.

ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY, WE STAND THE GAFF Strategies for Resistance in the Era of Toxic Bros

My tribute on International Women's Day to women who know how to "stand the gaff" in resisting tyranny.
From the coal mines of Cape Breton to the mines of the north. I come from a long line of strong women who would put the run on toxic bros.

The black-and-white photograph shows a person dressed in military attire, likely from the mid-20th century, standing outdoors. The individual is wearing a net-covered helmet, a military jacket with pockets, and a belt, and is holding a large radio or communication device over one shoulder with the right hand. In the left hand, they hold a rifle or similar long object. The background features trees and a natural setting, suggesting a wartime or field environment.

I'm sharing an image a day to celebrate the culture and history of Canada.
Today, it is Private C.L. Jewell of the North Nova Scotia Highlanders, with his "D-Day Beard" in Normandy, France on June 22, 1944.

The photo shows a man with light brown or graying hair, wearing a blue pinstripe suit and a patterned tie. He has a surprised or animated expression, with his hands pressed against his cheeks. The background is slightly blurred but appears to show an outdoor or semi-outdoor setting with people and equipment, possibly at an event or on a set.

On this day in 1994, John Candy died.
One of the greatest comedic actors of his generation, his career spanned a quarter-century and included acclaim shows, films and a Grey Cup.
Taken far too soon, let's learn more about one of Canada's most beloved actors.
