@SW_Help Ok thanks very much for your help. We are travelling to the UK and just want to be sure we are able to get around within the schedule we have planned. :)

[Kathy Powell @katpowell]

@SW_Help can I book a ticket online from Canada? It won’t allow me to create an account without a UK address.

I am looking at the pre-colonial history of the Indigenous people of each province, west to east.

Today I am looking at the Secwepemc people of central British Columbia!

Known in English as the Shuswap People, their territory is 145,000 square kilometres in size.

@adriandpetry here you go! I should use all the exclamation marks! Haha!

[CBC News @CBCNews]

A literary scholar argues we could use more exclamation marks — or exclamation points, depending on your preference — in our lives, not fewer. https://t.co/wr81nvSgPS

It is #BlackHistoryMonth. Here is the story of the Shelburne Riots

In the late-1770s & early-1780s, Black Loyalists left the United States to settle in Nova Scotia. About 1,500 Black Loyalists, some formerly enslaved, settled in Shelburne, including clergyman David George
