New comic! Ca-na-da! Ca-na-da! CA-NA-DA

Panel 1
Eric says: “Canada has caught nationalism fever!”
Joe Canadian: “I AM. CANADIAN!”
Eric: “What better way to celebrate Canada than to take an awesomeness challenge!”
Joe: “WOOO!”

Panel 2
Huge chart titled “Totally Rad Canadians of Canada Challenges of Awesomeness”
Eric: “We’ve got ‘lit’ challenges about children & education!”
Joe, pouring maple syrup on himself: “CA-NA-DA! CA-NA-DA!”

Panel 3
Eric: “We have challenges about business! Sports! Museums!”
Joe, stuffing face with Timbits: “CA-MA-BA! CA-MA-BA!”

Panel 4
Eric: “We put all 94 challenges into one handy doc—Oopsie”
Totally Rad sign falls off, exposing chart is actually “Truth & Reconciliation Comission of Canada Calls to Action” chart.
Joe, halfway through a maple leaf back tattoo: “Hey!”
Eric: “Just go to trccca.ca to learn more!”

In this week’s opinion column, Senator Paula Simons writes about anti-separation Albertans who genuinely believe the best form of protest is to boycott the referendum. While she understands their motives, she warns that staying home will backfire. #ableg #canpoli forwardweekly.ca/simons-cant-...

1. A fascinating article that has me thinking about visual literacy. @samgoertz.bsky.social touches on the clunkiness of the AI meme, though that isn’t the focus of the article.

We’ll track the latest developments on the referendum, scrutinize the separatists' plans, and keep an eye on what the government might try to advance while everyone is focused on Oct. 19. archive.forwardweekly.ca?issue=23
