What I’m reading right now… a dear friend of mine was a fan of Jeffrey Archer’s writing, so I’m looking forward to reading the author’s last novel.

Where do I begin to say how much I have to be thankful for. But after good health and family I’d have to say I’m very thankful to be a Canadian. I love our country. Despite the shifts in political, economic and environmental climate, we are blessed to be citizens of Canada. Happy Thanksgiving!

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Navi Pillay is one of the great defenders of international legal principles in our time. Her distinguished career reminds us of the need to support, fortify and expand the global rule of law.

The "Never Again" thing at the end of World War Il wasn't a free guarantee or promise, it was a reminder and a call to action, that we're not supposed to *let* it happen ever again.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is observed annually in Canada on September 30 to honor residential school survivors, their families, and communities. It acknowledges the tragic history, ongoing impacts, and intergenerational trauma of the Canadian Indian residential school system.
In the centre of an orange background are three symbols: a feather, a narwhal, and a flower. Each symbol represents the distinct cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities, brought together in a circular flowing composition to reflect the connection between the groups.

Above the central elements, stars surrounding the moon honour the children who never returned home from residential schools and symbolize their enduring place in our thoughts and memory. The dotted patterns evoke beadwork and reflect the importance of passing down art, culture and traditions from one generation to the next.

Flowing lines connect the elements of the design, reflecting the connections between land, water, communities and generations. Their winding path represents the journey of reconciliation and reminds us that reconciliation is an ongoing process.

To celebrate Dolly Parton Day, do something kind today. Donate books or share one of her songs, read to kids or shelter dogs, share some laughter in her honor. It would make her smile and we sure could use some joy right about now. RIP Dolly #DollyParton925

Zelenskyy’s UN speech hit the nail on the head: "Something always seems to stop Putin from simply saying that’s it, enough, peace. He is always looking for someone who can help take another country instead of stopping and running his own country." Dictators don't want peace; they want empire. 🇺🇦

Americans: "Both parties are the same." Trump raped children, demolished the White House, put his name on everything, and grifted billions from supporters and taxpayers. Obama was also mired in controversy: he tried to pay for healthcare for Americans. Same, right?
