I love my #bluesky feed because it is full of birds. Here's another one. watercolour, 2025 by emilyhonderich.ca
Long Lance is a character in my novel, The Three Sisters Bar and Hotel. And actually he was Indigenous. Just not quite as Indigenous as he said he was.
Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social · 3d agoI started piecing this story together a number of years ago. Grey Owl and Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance were two famous "Pretendians." When a Hollywood movie was set in the north it all fell apart. One went on to fame. The other died in disgrace. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-tragic...
Today's walk Bow Lake toward Bow Falls. Air was a bit yellow, but the water sounded great.

Senator Paula Simons 🇨🇦@senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social · 2mo agoToday, June 20, is World Refugee Day - a prompt to honour the courage of my grandmother and the resilience of my mother and aunts, who came to this country as refugees. I can never repay Canada for welcoming them, nor Alberta, for allowing them to flourish. #WorldRefugeeDay
The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

While Albertans were distracted by separatist nonsense, you may have missed the fact that Danielle Smith has functionally stripped Albertans of their constitutional right to MAID, making us 2nd-class Canadians. Where was the outrage? Well, here’s mine. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #MAID

Unable to access medical assistance in dying in Canada, the 89-year-old travelled to Switzerland to obtain the care denied to her here.

This is a good reflective piece on Alberta, Canada, immigration-- and even mentions how our writers have helped us along as a nation. Worthwhile reading. albertaviews.ca/the-case-for...

I’m calling on us to do something un-Canadian: and stand up for the country we love—and reject the idea of a sovereign Alberta

Canadian In Alberta@canadianinalberta.bsky.social · 2mo agoThank you Mum for sharing your love of books and reading, not just with me, but with the many members of your Doris Govier Fiction group in #Calgary. It's still running, though you are gone and much missed.
A year ago Alberta’s separatists were riding high. Now the western province’s “Wexiteers” are feeling downbeat. Register for free to read the story, and understand why
Albertans find it harder than expected to break from Canada. Good
Separatists in the oil-rich province are beset by political and legal challenges

"although she probably wielded the brush in many of the late, great works attributed to him, full recognition still eludes her." Terrific piece from @kmgovier 👇 Katsushika Oi: The hidden hand behind Hokusai engelsbergideas.com/portraits/ka...
Katsushika Oi: The hidden hand behind Hokusai
Katsushika Oi, historically overshadowed by her father Katsushika Hokusai, should be recognised as a pivotal figure in the history of Japanese art.

With Bill C-25, the government once again fails to protect privacy in federal political campaigning, leaving voters in Canada unprotected.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
Please contact Smith via form & phone: I do not agree with the government drawing their own electoral boundary map. I expect the Alberta government to accept the boundary changes as defined by Alberta's independent Boundaries Commission. #AbPoli #FireTheUCP #CdnPoli

Ritz 🍁@ritzmotu.bsky.social · 4mo ago"More than 1/2 of Albertans think the province is going the wrong way & majority still intend to vote for the people steering it there. This is not cognitive dissonance. It’s something more instructive and more troubling." #ableg #abpoli The Numbers Don't Add Up. open.substack.com/pub/vincehil...
#katsushikaoi makes it to Paris Fashion Week on the backs of garments by Yohji Yamamoto. This is her groundbreaking image of courtesans behind the lattice in the brothel district. Will it begin to rival her dad's #greatwave?
