19th Century anti-Canada lies/propaganda as told by American slave masters: 1) You have to give half your wages to the Queen. 2) Ground is always covered in ice, nothing can be grown. 3) Geese will scratch your eyes out. (Farrell 1955)
THE HISTORY OF THE NEGRO COMMUNITY IN CHATHAM, ONTARIO

71

'After we began to hear about Canada', said M.J. Lindsay, "our master used to tell us all manner of stories about what a dreadful place it was;
and we believed some of them, we didn't. When they told us that we must pay half our wages to the Queen, every day, it didn't seem strange to us nor wrong; but when they said it was so cold there that men going mowing had to break the ice with their scythes, I didn't believe that, because it was onreasonable (sic). I knew grass wouldn't grow where ice was all the time.' 'I was old before I left Virginia', said Dan Fackart, 'I have heard it as common talk that the wild geese were so common in Canada, that they would scratch a man's eyes out; that corn wouldn't grow there, nor anything but rice; that everything they had there was imported'........82

As Dr. S.G. Howe puts it, "Nothing invited the Negroes to this
cold region, except the still, small voice of freedom."

Indie films, music, comics, etc. are cool in two ways self-publishing is not: 1. Barrier to entry is high. Everyone leaves 3rd grade capable of writing a "sentence." You don't leave able to shoot a film, play guitar etc. 2. Other media were dominated by corporate producers; novels less so.

Police drug seizures without arrests roughly doubled during the “decriminalization pilot.” Decrim never happened in BC. It was just a smokescreen to stall demands for drug user liberation, and another betrayal of public trust by police.

If you've played or designed RPGs you are doubtless familiar with skill systems. You have a list of different things that you can learn to do, and if you practice them (with "experience points" or w/e), you can get better at them. Yeah, my character took gymnastics in college, I can do that. +
