I should mention this is part 1 of 2. The exiting conclusion to this story will come out next week!!!
The colony may have been small in 1640 but that didn’t stop Acadia from being the grounds of one of the most dramatic stories I’ve ever read about early Canadian history. Move over Madeleine de Verchères and Laura Secord and make way for Françoise-Marie Jacquelin!

Just in case you weren’t sure how awful Doug ford is. The courts ruled against him based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because PEOPLE WILL DIE IF HE REMOVES SAFE BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. So he’s considering ABUSING the Notwithstanding Clause just for ego and some cheap suburban votes.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

I have been in my feels today. Now I’m watching Avengers: Engame with my 10yr old and it feels like a great choice. I’m hoping the Jays can have their “On your left” moment next year.

Coach Earl (my grumpy old dad) says hitting is contagious. I’m also not overlooking Lukes’s bunt. That showed they were getting back to executing their game plan and put them in control.

If there is a walk and a Blue Jay on base doesn’t wait until an ump personally tells them to move to the next base I’m gonna scream. Getting caught off the base is rookie league shit.
