On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we acknowledge and reflect on the deep intergenerational harm residential schools have caused to Indigenous families and communities. Art by Elaine Landry #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters #TruthAndReconciliation
A handprint on an orange background. The handprint is broken into segments, inside of which are different symbols representing elements of Indigenous culture, including animal paw prints, landscapes with trees, and other images drawn from nature. There is a large black eagle feather on the left side of the handprint, and bird silhouettes appear in the upper left hand corner of the image. The words EVERY CHILD MATTERS appear at the bottom of the piece.

Spending time this weekend getting ready for work next week? Not if you're Doug Ford! He started his summer break on June 9 and still has 4 weeks to go until he's back at Queen's Park. Wish you had 19 weeks of summer vacay? Should've become a deeply corrupt politician afraid of transparency, babes.
Doug Ford wears a blue apron and pretends to know how to barbecue. It's unclear which of his four homes he is at in this screenshot from a video. It could be his mom's home in Etobicoke that he inherited when she died. It could be his cottage on Fawn Lake. It's probably not one of his two condos in Hallandale, Florida.

Doug Ford. He's just like you and me, folks.
