The McMichael Canadian Art gallery in Kleinburg has a gorgeous Indigenous art exhibit on right now until March 2026. A few pieces by Monkman, more than a few by Morrisseau, and many, many others including Inuit & Haida artists too. Plus, a beautiful short hike around the grounds await after the art.

This is a really disingenuous take from Smith. I’ve read both the order and the list. Every book I’ve read in the list - about a third - falls afoul of the order.

It’s a ridiculous order and I’m glad that’s being highlighted.

I didn't know that forest fire smoke could block out the sun. These are pics from yesterday from the train, between Le Pas and Thompson, Manitoba. 1st pic is from 5:30 pm, 2nd pic is 6 pm. For perspective, sundown here is 11 pm. The lights on the 2nd photo are from the train's headlights.

In addition to listening to this, it is well worth reading On Tyranny. It’s a short book that expands on the summaries with examples. The Winnipeg Public Library even has a graphic version!
