Mark Carney: "Russia and Belarus are supporting this illegal and unjustified horrific war in Ukraine, as long as that's going on, there will be none of those athletes competing for their countries in Canada. So if you're asking specifically about the World Juniors, the Russians will not be there."

Night time lapse, Indonesia to North of Japan. A very lively atmosphere up high, with dizzying human activity down low. Blue lights are fishing trawlers hard at work.

Twice in the last five years, the Swedish Academy has awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature to a woman who takes eros seriously: Annie Ernaux, in 2022, and, now, Anne Carson. Carson, whose œuvre traverses many finely wrought forms—poems, plays, essays, translations of ancient Greek tragedies and lyrics, an opera, a comic book, a book-in-a-box—has pursued forms of writing that constrain a terrible excess of feeling, and give shape and weight to the maelstrom of passion. “Carson admires the absolute spiritual daring it takes to submit to one’s awful longings,” the critic Merve Emre writes.

Here are the graves.
This Orange Shirt Day we are returning the Brandon Indian Residential School cemetery grounds to the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation on behalf of many First Nations whose children are buried here.
This is one of the most well documented burial grounds at a residential school in Canada with not only church and historical records but also contemporaneous newspaper articles describing what happened to these children.
You can not deny history.

“Reconciliation is an ongoing journey, and every child matters, every single day.”
On Orange Shirt Day, National Chief @chiefcindyafn shares a message about the enduring impacts of the residential school system, the courage of survivors like Phyllis Webstad and all those who were taken from their families, and the strength of First Nations languages and cultures.
Join the AFN as we stand for Truth and Reconciliation: wear orange, participate in events, and take time to reflect on how we can move forward together. youtu.be/ZIwXBAwwlJI
