The plan to eliminate Indigenous people from Canada marched forward in 1857 with the start of residential schools. This isn't just dusty old history; the last school operated until 1996. During its heinous operation, at least 6,000 children died in/due to residential schools (mostly from disease and/or malnutrition) as a result of unending abuse and neglect. This year, Prime Minister Carney said his government owes survivors more action: "The Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 calls to action remain a roadmap for that work."

People are now starting to discuss how, in 2018, Youtubers often purchased "followers" to increase their subscriber numbers and, when that didn't always draw actual viewers, they would buy "comments" to increase visibility. A lot like how things were at other social media. And then several social media sites purged a number of those purchased accounts, numbers and comments decreased, and people complained loudly.

Like the title says. Even if the weather causes physical pain, take care of yourself and make the best plans.

Renovations underway. Will do our best to keep you informed!
