Standing close to the spot where the power line had been so cleverly hiding in plain sight the night before, I turned seaward and crouched down (easier then than now) to get a different perspective. One without any cursed power lines.

In a speech to the Liberal caucus @JustinTrudeau said "Our universal public system has long been a model to the world". But if so, can he name one single country that ever tried to imitate it anywhere? Or is he just a blatherskite? https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/poilievre-challenges-trudeau
"...we need leaders, including...elected officials & bureaucrats, who...see themselves as problem fixers & who understand...that that is what their jobs are & that they are no longer what they've been able to be for generations: hands-off middle managers of stable prosperity."

Ontario chapter of the Foundation Against Racism & Intolerance @fairforall_org has put out a statement regarding the racially segregated theatrical performance at @CanadasNAC. Since 2016, National Arts Centre has received $235m from taxpayers—none of whom want to fund segregation

I spend inordinate amounts of time negotiating with a world that has power lines (and garbage cans). I am just back from Nova Scotia where surprisingly there are even more power lines than in Newfoundland. This trip in more situations than usual, I decided the proliferation was part of the visual story. Not sanguine but accepting.
