"This morning, the Assembly of First Nations that Carney was addressing voted unanimously to reject the proposed bitumen pipeline promised in the Memorandum of Understanding that Carney recently signed with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith." They did this before the meeting, can't blame them.

I know some folks think archival stuff is boring. It is not. This is a hugely important, historical document, critical to how Canada (as a country) emerged. Super important, access will ensure many FN get to SEE the agreement their ancestors had no party to, which affected them/all descendants.

France did colonize a fair chunk of Canada! They lost some bits to the Brits, had them given back then lost them again with interest. They retain St. Pierre and Miquelon.

Most babies/toddlers will never be in an otherwise safe situation where they could chew on giraffes and monkeys. Mushrooms, on the other hand.

Indeed, one should. Sadly, such tasks are rarely acknowledged when the (important?) endless work of mythic beings is described, celebrated or, you know, AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGED, dagnabbit.

Okay, despite their small size, buffleheads are THE MOST fighty diving duck around. Have seen boy b'heads just go after male goldeneyes who dared to be black and white on the same pond/small lake. Fleet tracks.
