Orange shirts flooded Parliament Hill for the 6th annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This year’s gathering comes at a time of challenge, with residential school denialism on the rise and some saying the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action are losing momentum.

I did too. It’s a whole new area for me. The story of the 1848 revolutions is both uplifting and ultimately very depressing.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. The connections to 1848. I’m sure you’ve read Christopher Clark’s book. But if you haven’t, it’s absolutely riveting. www.nytimes.com/2023/06/13/b...

In “Revolutionary Spring,” the Cambridge historian Christopher Clark argues for the lasting impact of the uprisings that engulfed Europe in 1848.

I read this in university. And it was one of those gamechangers. First of all it converted me to the importance and beauty of realism. But more importantly, it engendered a love of art history which nearly took me into that discipline. Alas that did not happen. She’s just great. I still have it.

Totally. I realise I’m probably not even allowed to say this. I’m going to be shunned and removed from blue sky. But it’s just not that great. Some of the books make absolutely no sense whatsoever. The similes are few and far between and, frankly, weak compared to the Iliad. Goodbye sweet world…

Be better, @theguardian.com. Leave this stuff to the gutter press. Not since the Middle Ages has so much ink been spilled on dead kings, spare princes and miscellaneous low-ranking aristocrats. Harry and Meghan will survive without a Guardian correspondent covering their every move.

Have you been able to try his full line yet? It’s very hard to get because when he started making it a few years ago, he didn’t anticipate the Trump boycott. And his supply has to catch up with the demand.
