@LtNiteJaymz @GoldenKnights So why erase the evidence if they did nothing wrong?

Add this to the growing list of damning evidence not heard in court because of a technicality (via @rwesthead’s latest report)

When HC and the NHL considered ALL the evidence, harsh punishments were levied.

When the courts were not given the same evidence? Acquitted. Like OJ!

"Just erase them. All the bad video.” There was documented evidence, it was just deleted before the investigation. Let the Blues know what you think. Sign the petition to release Dubé. https://t.co/r1Q1SHjlVY

@Yoda4ever They're called cygnets. When they reach adolescence, they have grey plummage. Otherwise, they look like their parents. Swans mate for life.

We grew up watching hand-drawn Disney, and now it's gone. We don't talk about this enough.

Most people have no idea what level of work went into these films...

To draw one cathedral, Disney's artists went and spent days inside the real one, climbing through the passageways and towers of Notre-Dame with a historian, so that a cartoon would get the stones right.

That was for The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1996. The team made more than one trip to Paris, and the film was the first made at Disney's new animation studio in the city, a collaboration between American artists and Parisian ones led by the brothers Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi.

This is the thread that runs through Disney's Paris: the city keeps pulling the studio back. The Aristocats, in 1970, is a valentine to an older Paris of grand apartments and rooftop cats, though the animators packed the skyline so tightly that Notre-Dame ends up standing almost next to the Eiffel Tower.

It will never cease to amaze me: every single frame of the old Disney movies was put down by a human hand. Today everything chases realism, and somehow, the more real it looks, the less alive it feels…

This article from @thenarwhalca documents what First Nations, Northern communities, and responders have been saying throughout this wildfire season.

Ontario was warned.
First Nations developed an emergency management plan years ago. They say it was ignored.

Now many of the same failures they warned about (communication breakdowns, inadequate coordination, and communities left on their own) are playing out in real time.

The government can deny, downplay, or try to rewrite what happened, but it can't erase the experiences of the people who are living through this.

Check out "Temporalities: The 6th Annual Critical Femininities Conference" at York University in August. I am especially excited about the zine-making workshop!

I live in Northwestern Ontario. Right now, the Boreal forest is burning.

I'm writing this beneath the dark orange plume from the Quetico wildfires.

These are some of the reports coming out as communities fight to survive:

"No fire crews left for new fires."
"We had no warning."
Families are self-evacuating by private boat across lakes because they didn't receive evacuation information. They're fleeing towering flames with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

This is unacceptable in a province as wealthy as Ontario.

I'm calling out Doug Ford. His government has underfunded Ontario's wildfire management capacity by tens of millions of dollars.

@fordnation you want our Ring of Fire, our water, our forests. You want to store nuclear waste in our bedrock and run an oil pipeline through our watersheds.

But you won't work with northern communities. You make decisions for us without us, and then fail to provide the basic public services we PAY FOR and rely on: wildfire protection, health care, education, safe highways and social services.

Northern Ontario deserves better than this feckless leadership.
