Tonight’s sunset. This is straight off my phone unedited.

On this #IndigenousVeteransDay, I remember and am grateful for all who’ve served for this land we all call home. Some…for a country that didn’t even recognize them as citizens with the rights they fought to protect.
#LestWeForget
Photos of 4 young men. My relatives who served as US Marines. A list of all veterans from my First Nation who’ve served in the First and Second WW’s.

Fact for today: Canada has climbed from 4th to 2nd in the latest international reputation rankings. The US has dropped dramatically, from 30th to 48th among the 60 top economies. Switzerland ranks first, Russia last. The rankings are often a factor in country investment decisions.

You have three weeks to sign the Forever Canadian petition which is a message to Danielle Smith that Albertans don't want to separate. Volunteers are set up in many communities across the province. Use your voice (or in this case, pen) if you believe in unity! #Alberta

This is great. The power of scary librarians.

Also great! "That's why I think we should fund libraries more. It's not just because they're a great resource, it's because I don't wanna know what librarians will do if we don't give them a place to go."
