I was in doing outreach psychiatry in Northern Ontario this week (thanks for having me Weeneebayko) so missed my birthday present Neil Young celebration concert - but family got the T-shirt for me and a dozen video clips - looks like it was amazing #masseyhall

As we approach an AC flight attendants strike, I think of my grandfather leading the CPR firemen in a strike in 1957, to save jobs threatened by new diesel trains. His home and family received threats. It lasted 9 days but accomplished little. Trains & unions are part of my #colonial #familystories

Rev. J.S. Woodsworth, the “conscience of Canada,” supported equity, social obligation, and civic responsibility as a CCF MP. However, his Strangers Within our Gates was a plainly racist warning of the dangers of unassimilated immigrants. His Methodist roots resonate with my #colonial #familystories

My GG grandfather was >60 when he married his 3rd wife, my GG grandmother at 16. He was tried & acquitted of assault once, admitted sick to a workhouse several times & was a street vendor of old tinplate in a London slum. His sons came to Canada looking for something better #colonial #familystories
