I'm sharing an image a day to celebrate the vibrant and unique culture and history of Canada.
Today, it is Jackie Burroughs (Hetty King on Road to Avonlea) and Gordon Pinsent performing at the Stratford Festival in 1975.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.
