Thanks so much to DPAs for standing behind the Work.
Thanks @dreahouston and @EthanCoxMtl at Ricochet for your patience.

It’s crazy to me that in 30+ years the NFB has never done anything with them or particularly acknowledges their existence. The term “generational bag fumble” gets thrown around a lot, but the bag has been fumbled for a literal generation now.

Paul Dubé is out as Ontario's ombudsman.
Maybe strange that a beat reporter in Thunder Bay should have anything to say about that, but I want to give him a hand.
I've watched lots of powerful people pretend to care about reconciliation. He seemed willing to be vulnerable & try
