Spent last week working on this piece and it made me ache with sadness. Kadin Savikataaq of Arviat, Nunavut, was an accomplished young woman. A pilot, a hunter, a hockey player. She went out one night in Aug. 2024 and never returned. Her family is desperate for answers. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Really hoping that we can stop fuelling this unilateral separatist/Smith narrative. The First Nation case is a constitutional case. That means that if they win (as they have to date) provincial rule changes (however many) at some point become irrelevant. #ableg #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I strongly recommend Damaged by Dr. Maunder and Dr. Hunter and I can't wait to read this new book which will be out soon!

Dr. Robert Maunder@boiby.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Welcome new followers! I would be a bad author if I did not point out that the semi-meditative act of photographing birds is a form of coping. This book on how to cope, by Jon Hunter and me, is out soon from @uoftpress.bsky.social “Accessible, compassionate, scientifically sound, and authoritative.”

Cover of book called Coping: Fix Problems, Find Meaning, Feel Better, which features a plate, broken and repaired.
