The story of David Thompson is well known in Canada, but the story of his wife of 58 years, Charlotte Small, is not.
Yet she was integral to his success as a surveyor and explorer.
This is her story.

After the death of her husband, Pitseolak Ashoona coped with the loss by turning towards art.
The works she created became celebrated across Canada, as she emerged as one of the country's most acclaimed artists of the last half of the 20th century.

Part 3. Send the team over the boards.
And then comes the moment where we pull the jersey over the doofus's head.
But count on him going full TACO.

Hey, how about a bunch of people in big trucks travel together in a long line until they reach Stornoway? When they get there, they can all park on the street out front, blocking traffic. Then they can honk their horns & blast music 24/7 for as many day as it takes for PP to leave.

the thing about the tates and trump and musk is that what they offer is the illusion of control and dominance and mastery. in truth, they are absolute slaves to their passions and their worst instincts, and they have paid for it in that they are literal degenerates

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It is paid by the taxpayer for “Leader of the Opposition IN the House of Commons”.
