We are big "Chase" fans here at the cabin at Denny's Pond, NL, and I absolutely love Bradley as the British host. (He was about the only thing I liked about Chibnall's run at steering the TARDIS as well. -lol) You are very welcome.

Which is fine if that child is mentally and emotionally able to handle that responsibility; we need to realize that a lot of them deserve to be given more credit and responsibility than they often get, but there are definitely those who cannot take on such responsibility effectively and safely.

I suspect this statistic may intertwine with the fact that the United States has one of the highest rates of child fatalities due to abuse and neglect among industrialized, high-income nations. Stats never stand alone and are part of a complex web of reasons, repercussions, reactions, and results.

Hey parents & grandparents looking for Canadian children's books! Here's one not to miss. It's about Gander's role on 9/11. It has gorgeous illustrations from @reillyfitzgerald.bsky.social. Here's my interview with Reilly & author @nikkibergstresser.bsky.social: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-....
The cover for a children's book called "Gander The Town That Welcomed the World." The picture shows a child sitting on a rocky beach near a harbour with sheds and dories alongside the water's edge, with forested hills in the background. There's a plane in the sky.

In case you missed it: worth the listen. Honestly I was expecting more local coverage & find it strange that the only media we got on a Newfoundland & Labrador artist's contribution to the culture and imagery of our province was through a radio interview! (lol) www.cbc.ca/listen/live-....

Did you know that Newfoundland high-rise construction workers (known to Americans as "the Fish") and Iroquois Canadians helped build the World Trade Center, and Canadian emergency crews immediately went to New York to help at Ground Zero? The intertwined relationship between Canada and the US.

Reilly Fitzgerald @reillyfitzgerald.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
The relationship of Canada & USA is so intertwined. We know Newfoundland & Labrador & Gander responded to 9/11 but did you know that crews of construction workers from Newfoundland called the "Fish") helped build the World Trade Center & Canadians helped at ground zero? Neighbours help neighbours.

"Leading them to Safety" (2025) acrylic on canvas painting by Reilly Fitzgerald. It was 25 years ago when the world was shocked and full of fear, and air passengers were guided to areas of sanctuary and friendship, and shown how neighbours and even strangers help each other.

Gander: 25th anniversary 9/11. Newfoundland & Labrador Warning: B'ys, make sure everything to do with oil got a tarp over it when Hoekstra comes to Gander!! All we wants is Americans trying to make us a state, renaming Cabot Tower, or having them bomb the Confederation Building! Hide the oil! (lol)

We knew what he was like even 25 years ago, when his response to the tragedy of the towers falling along with so many lives on 9/11 was to brag about becoming the owner of the new tallest building in New York! (Also a lie.) Narcissists... empathy & sympathy dont exist. youtu.be/aPvemZHnd0s?...

Who is "we"? I'm pretty sure "we" already have one of the better examples of this in Canada.
