Raymond Carver:

What did I know, what did I know of love’s austere and lonely offices?

"Forever will be a day like this" Fall Song by Joy Harjo

RIP Paul Durcan. This was the first poem I read by him, and it absolutely broke me.

One couple at a voting station in Port Credit said they would rather not speak to American media. They then apologized three times.

“The wolf, unfortunately no longer common, is here symbolic of the vastness and loneliness of Canada, and thus of our tradition and to a degree, of our present condition.” Captain (Retired) Alex Colville

@pbontoast1 @MelanieLake @CAFinUS Some say that guy is deep in over the butterpots training with the ghost of Peter Kerrivan. We may never hear tell of him again.

@MelanieLake @CAFinUS Well @kirksullivan ?

What this moment really needs is the return of @CAFinUS. 🇨🇦 Please come back. We need you.

Maestro David Briskin led the @nationalballet of Canada Orchestra and the audience in a rousing rendition of O Canada before the opening of Swan Lake. #ElbowsUp is not one of ballet’s traditional positions of the arms, but everyone in Canada is adapting.

this place is where I stand where all my mistakes were made when I grew awkwardly and I knew what I was and that is Canadian or Canadien it doesn't matter which to me

Dear Canada, I felt compelled to make something. To stick up for, and to honour. To show our strength, beauty, genius, empathy, light & heart. It's made with deep gratitude for the people and places of this beautiful land. Vive le Canada 🇨🇦❤️✌️💪 vimeo.com/1056619122/f6e…

The ladybug hospital now has three patients.

“Dad, the ladybug might have a mommy and daddy and we might have to bring him back to them when he gets better.”

There should be no question of confusing the flag of one country with that of another. In selecting a Canadian flag, therefore, every effort should be made to avoid including on it symbols more properly associated with another country, i.e. stripes, stars. people.stfx.ca/lstanley/stanl…

“It has been used by Canadian troops in two world wars, and by Canadian Olympic teams... The single leaf has the virtue of simplicity; it emphasizes the distinctive Canadian symbol; and suggests the idea of loyalty to a single country.”

Tonight, I’m thinking about Justice Murray Sinclair and of the times that I was lucky enough to hear him speak about his work with the TRC. This moment stands out for me. It’s his answer when he was asked, “Why can’t you just get over it?”

Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on. cbc.ca/news/politics/…
