Meta blocks me from posting the link to this story but doesn't stop ads for unregulated drugs. Makes no sense.

“In the corrupted currents of this world
Offence's gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft 'tis seen the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law: but 'tis not so above;
There is no shuffling, there the action lies
In his true nature…”

Hamlet
Act III Scene III

The great Oscar Wilde died on this day in 1900:

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

Tragic news. RIP Colleen, a legendary curler and proud Atlantic Canadian

[Curling Canada @CurlingCanada]

Curling has lost a legend. It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of one of the most exceptional figures in Canadian curling, Colleen Jones.

During her curling career, Colleen captured six national women's championships and two world championships. She also served as a curling coach, broadcaster and ambassador helping grow the sport across the country and the world.

Thank you, Colleen, for your enduring contribution to our sport. Every shot played. Every rink inspired. Every life you touched. You will be deeply missed and your legacy will forever endure on the ice and in our hearts.

Our thoughts are with Colleen's family, friends and the whole curling community.

Dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons, which at the first are scare found to distaste, but with a little act upon the blood, burn like the mines of sulphur.

[The Canadian Shield Institute @CanShieldInst]

Canada polices country-of-origin labels for boots and berries but not for the policy advice that shapes our laws. Ottawa may think they're "buying" Canadian advice but the reality is much more complicated.

“Today, Canada faces another critical moment. Democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self-determination and freedom are values which Canadians hold dear, and ones which the government is determined to protect,” the King said.
