Did you know someone aboard the FlyDubai flight? Globe reporters are looking for Canadian passengers or relatives of those on the Israel-bound flight where a pilot allegedly tried to crash the plane. If you or someone you know was aboard, please e-mail Janice Dickson at jdickson@globeandmail.com.

This spider always looks dead. But it’s been hanging around most of the summer on its straight-line web (never seen a web like that before). It disappeared this morning and is back again. Gives me the creeps. At least it’s outside! 🕷️

“Kim Murray: This project is trying to retrieve public records housed in courthouses across this country of the statements of claim, the affidavits, anything that happened through the court process, the open court process. Those records have truths in them as well, some have been destroyed already.”

On Parliament Hill this morning for the flag raising ceremony that will begin a day of solemn remembrance on this Truth and Reconciliation Day. It seems even more important this year, in a moment of rising residential school denialism. #cdnpoli #Canada #yow #Ottawa

An audience, dressed in orange shirts (and rain coats) sit on a foggy, slightly drizzly morning in front of a stage set up in front of the parliamentary visitors centre. In the background, one can see the construction equipment renovating Centre Block.

In 1973, Phyllis Webstad, age 6, arrived at residential school in a new orange shirt her grandmother had bought her. To her, the shirt stood for belonging. It was taken away on her first day. Today, in part, is about what was taken from children. 🪶 READ: orangeshirtday.org/about/phylli...

Great column. It really is the most transparent level of gov't (police notwithstanding). Things are tight. I often get comments like "city hall is corrupt" - well, show me where? It has the most openness, the most public eyes on it. Other levels, far less transparency (looking at you, Ontario)

In 1885, Montreal was ravaged by smallpox. To stem the spread of the disease, public health officials enforced vaccinations. Those that mistrusted the vaccine rioted in the streets. This is the story of the Montreal Smallpox Riots. 📸 McGill University 🧵 1/10

An old-fashioned illustration depicting a group of people in a train compartment. A man in a suit is assisting a woman who appears to be unwell, adjusting her clothing or providing aid. Other passengers, including a woman seated and a child standing nearby, observe the scene. The setting includes detailed period clothing and interior design, with luggage and fabric draped around.

Notice the open windows. Over a century ago, humans knew ventilation helped limit spread of disease. Public health and healthcare professions have gotten stupider in this century. Makes one ask all sorts of questions because I don’t think it’s as simple as political influence. 👍🧵👇 #covid #smallpox

I often think about the speed camera chopping vigilante who returned to the scene of their crime on Parkside Drive multiple times but Toronto police didn’t catch them & it led to Doug Ford banning speed cameras for 16 million people & now speeding is at epidemic levels & people will die.
