If you're in the Niagara Region this summer, make a point to visit Lakeside Park and take a ride on the carousel!
Originally carved in Brooklyn, NY between 1898 and 1905, it was moved to St. Catharines in 1921 and been there ever since.

Hockey Canada trial update:
Tyler Steenbergen continued his testimony from yesterday, mostly about the group chat.
The chat was started a week after what transpired, and was started by Dillon Dube, who added everyone that was in that room to discuss the night's events.

Watching Rogue One again. One thing hit me:
Jyn, while still ambivalent towards the rebellion, is asked if she could stand having the Imperial flag reign across the galaxy.
She says "It's not a problem if you don't look up."
I feel that's where many of us are at right now.

If you've seen the movie Dark Waters (and I highly recommend it), you know about PFAS - 'forever chemicals' that don't break down - used in a variety of products for decades that have contaminated waters around the world.

Hockey Canada trial update:
After 9 grueling days, E.M. is finally done with her testimony.
Though doing so from another room, via CCTV, I can't imagine how hard it was to talk about what she went through AND go through FIVE different cross-examinations (one for each player on trial)!

But Threads is being a PITA, and IG is too....Meta.

The talk show - the most comprehensive production we've done in the program (so far 🥲) - went great! Our group really came together so well in the end through everything and pulled it off!
Some pictures of everyone involved - couple group shots, our two hosts, our prof, and the production team!

Ford complained how people receiving social assistance are "sitting on their couch and watching Flintstones"?
I'm sorry, is this the 80s?
Waiting for him to tell us to get a job by walking into the business and asking the manager for one.
