This Christmas, a person in #BC died while in #CBSA custody. The agency won't release their name, where they're from, why they were detained & how they died.

Since 2000, at least 17 people have died in #ImmigrationDetention in #Canada. #WelcomeToCanada https://t.co/cnNpCke0oO

@franzanth Back in the 1930s my grandmother grew up close to what was then called Canada's national 'nature' museum.

She had fond stories of checking out taxidermied animals for show and tell (and fun, of course). They came with a paper tag. You had to promise to keep them dry.

@karl_andrus @hamiltonbrydie @CameronKroetsch So many laundromats gone over the past three or four years.

@heradasha That is the parallel reality I want to inhabit.

People getting paid decently to do work they think matters.

"And no one in Canada should imagine we are not complicit in the abuses endured by temporary foreign workers. We eat the food foreign workers plant and harvest, and they are often the ones providing us with lifesaving care when we age and fall sick"

good morning! the radio release of Radiohead's "Creep" is closer to the assassination of John F Kennedy than it it is to today. Yes, that's right, time is relentless and we're all slouching inexorably towards death! 👍

@lonita That movie!

I remember waiting for it to come out, and wathcing that trailer repeatedly. I had no idea what to expect from the movie, but even the trailer was an artistic experience.

Beethoven's 7th is the perfect song for those images, and vice versa.
