I have completely blown this year’s book budget, because @Taschen had an EPIC sale, and I therefore ordered some books whose prices would otherwise have me blowing next year’s book budget, too.

Do you know about Beam Paints? It’s owned by an Anishnaabe Kwe woman, and is operated from the M’Chigeeng First Nation on Manitoulin Island. And look how pretty they are, in their waxed cloth! www.beampaints.com

Sheri S. Tepper wrote this in ‘Beauty’ and it resonated with me (there’s a lot more about this in the book, and it made me think about my media choices in a different way):
amusing stories. Finally, he asked me what I've got against horror writers. I said there was real horror in the world. Disease and starvation and torture. I said we needed to feel revulsion for these things, needed to be galvanized into action against them and against all poverty and pain and injustice, but that his books merely made us accustomed to horror, as a recreation.

Under Canadian law, birth parents have a right to privacy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoptio...
Belobaba ultimately sided with the challengers, writing that the act breached the privacy provisions granted by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 12. He noted that while the Charter protected the privacy rights of the challengers he did not see similar rights for those searching for information saying "...this is not a case where we have competing Charter-protected rights. The applicants' right to liberty under s. 7 has been breached. The rights of the searching adoptees or birth parents to the disclosure of confidential adoption information, although important and heartfelt, are not protected by s. 7 or any other provision of the Charter."

He actually cancelled the Starlink contract! From The Star:
"We'll be ripping up the province's contract with Starlink. Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy," said PC Leader Doug Ford in a written statement Monday. Starting today and "until U.S. tariffs are removed," Ford said Ontario would ban American companies from provincial contracts, noting that each year the provincial government and its agencies "spend $30 billion on procurement, alongside our $200 billion plan to build Ontario.
