Francis Pegahmagabow was arguably the most effective sniper of the First World War. Highly decorated for his service to Canada during the war, he returned home and became a highly-influential First Nations activist.
This is his story.

The 7.6 metre statue of Lesia is dressed in traditional Ukrainian attire and is holding a loaf of breaded bread (kolach) and salt. This represents a welcome ceremony in Ukrainian culture.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

May we never grow so cold, so exhausted, so hardhearted that mass murder feels normal, feels inevitable, feels like anything other than what it is: a crime against humanity, against all of us.

Always glad to work them, but now I am dealing with 5 hours of sleep (my shift was in the count room until 3 AM).
