Always worth reading Miranda July. This in the “burn it all down and you’ll get a book out of it” tradition of Elizabeth Gilbert or Glennon Doyle (though fiction). Some great ekphrastic writing about dance.
Cover of Miranda July’s book All Fours.

So backwards. They should have run it on the QW through downtown to drop folks into the urban neighborhoods (Westboro/Carling, Hintonburg, Glebe/Centretown) then run along green space in suburbs so they can park-and-ride.

“Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State!
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate.
Sail on, sail on—“
Let’s hope, with Leonard Cohen, that democracy can hold its course.
