This Canada Day, I think it is important to amplify Indigenous voices: https://attawapiskatriverprotectors.com/how-to-support/ring-of-fire-moratorium/. Are we going to stand with the First Nations wanting to protect their peatlands in Attawapiskat or are we going to destroy it to grow the wealth of Canada's parasite resource companies?

I ride motorcycle (a 2000 BMW R1100R) and I enjoy taking a tour of our remote roadways in northern Ontario and Quebec. I get to see bear, moose and other small animals on just about every ride. And in a few spots, if I'm lucky, I get to view great sunsets while I battle swarms of biting insects. It's beautifully hard out here in the summer, but it is our home. I thought I'd share some of my photos from a recent ride. I hope you are all enjoying the summer wherever you are.
