Spectacular night at the #Lumière Festival. November days are shorter, but that just meant more time to take in the light… #photography

Well deserved! A terrific book. But also a significant one that deserves a wide reading by anyone interested in human rights. #cdnhist

More reading from John Sandlos and @arnkeeling.bsky.social - "Yellowknife’s Giant Mine: Canada downplayed arsenic exposure as an Indigenous community was poisoned" - niche-canada.org/2025/09/03/y... #envhist #mininghistory #cdnhist

I wrote a piece for @frenchhistory.bsky.social about the 40th anniversary of the French bombing of the "Rainbow Warrior." Huge thanks to @eldrclaire.bsky.social @donalh.bsky.social @meghankroberts.bsky.social & the journal's extremely patient staff. doi-org.proxy.lib.sfu.ca/10.1093/fh/c...

Agreed: read their new book on how arsenic emissions polluted a northern mining town – and the ways activists and Indigenous people fought back. #envhist www.mqup.ca/price-of-gol...

Agree with this editorial: focus on research impacts, not the identities of the researchers. (And reading the peer reviews and notes from the adjudication committees?!) www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/5f5c26a...

1/ 🧵 Contrary to the UCP, Alberta didn’t have to use the notwithstanding clause to legislate the teachers back to work. The “no choice” take doesn’t hold up. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

honestly the only piece worth reading on the platner situation. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is absolutely cooking here. (gift link)

"Two bears came quietly, as if called by the land.... She stopped, lifted her head, and looked toward me. In her eyes, there was no fear, only calm recognition.... Life looked upon life, and in that mutual gaze, I felt not distance but invitation." #envhum #envhist gbryja.medium.com/being-seen-w...

456,365 #ForeverCanadian signatures (plus few dozen last minute arrivals). I’m told it’s the biggest petition in Canada’s history. None of this would happen if not for thousands of volunteers and your love for Canada.🇨🇦 Thank you! This is Alberta’s and Canada’s victory.

Back to work legislation has been used by many federal and provincial governments over the last 40 years. It did not require the notwithstanding clause.

Fantasy opportunity! Open to scholars studying any region or period.

Very sorry to hear this. What a loss. #cdnhist

With the Arctic Refuge back in the news (yes, Trump is trying once again to turn it into an oil field), maybe it’s a good time to check out Defending the Arctic Refuge. @uncpress.bsky.social #envhist 📗❄️🦌
