Stayed away from the plant bedding shops this weekend. We do need to get various things but I'll wait for their post-Victoria-Day weekend restock.
For global people, it's Canada's biggest gardening weekend here.
Victoria Day is named in honour of a lady named Victoria, who, back a century ago, lived on Vancouver Island and was celebrated for her ability to predict the last frost of spring, and her penchant for buying beer by the 24-bottle case.

Victoria Day: Canada’s Royal Holiday
Observed on the Monday before May 25, Victoria Day marks Queen Victoria’s birthday and has been a Canadian holiday since 1845. It became a national statutory holiday in 1901 after her death, and remains the official celebration of the monarch's birthday in Canada—even under later sovereigns. 🇨🇦 #Canada #VictoriaDay #Monarchy #CanadianHistory #StatutoryHoliday

Kootenay: The Park Built for a Highway
Kootenay National Park has a unique origin. It was created in 1920 when BC gave land to the federal government in exchange for building the Banff-Windermere Highway. This 'highway for land' deal resulted in a park that protects a significant corridor of the Rockies, including the famous hot springs and Marble Canyon. #Canada #Kootenay #CanadianHistory #ParksCanada 🇨🇦

#TIL that early in WW2, radar tech was still meant to be a state secret in the UK, but was being taught openly as "Radio Physics" in some Canadian universities.
As a result, the Royal Canadian Navy was able to recruit university students who already understood radar, and many of them went on into the Royal Navy to help train the UK engineering and physics recruits who didn't.

Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

*In case you missed reading this when it was first published last year.*
#Canada’s #NationalParks Are #Colonial #CrimeScenes.
Many see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as untouched #nature is unrecognizable to #Indigenous people
In 2017, it felt like the whole country was swept up in the rah-rah celebrations around Canada 150. It was a collective anniversary, a chance to celebrate our history. Well, some of it, anyway. Tied to the many calls to explore the country and take stock of its many wonders, #ParksCanada released its Discovery Pass, which granted free entry to all national parks that year. These natural spaces “represent the very best that Canada has to offer,” it announced in a press release. “They are the essence of our country because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples.” But, as Robert Jago explored in his timely essay, Canada’s parks program was built on the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the capture of their territories—a form of “green colonialism.” Parks are wonderful spaces, but they have also acted as #political cover for the control of land, a tactic we still see used today.—Daniel Viola, senior editor, November 2023 issue.

Learn more about #ChiefMaquinna.
This is a collection of words, photos and video clips for Hyas Tyee #Nuuchahnulth - Chief Maquinna. A greatly respected & important Chief of the Nuuchahnulth #Haida People, of the Haida Gwaii Islands, in #BritishColumbia #Canada.
Chief Maquinna (also transliterated: Muquinna, Macuina, Maquilla) was the Chief of the Nuuchahnulth People of #NootkaSound, during the heyday of the maritime fur trade in the 1780s and 1790s, on the #PacificNorthwest Coast.
British explorer #CaptainCook went looking (like so many #Europeans before and after him)or the Northwest Passage. He ran headlong into a thriving trade and business culture on the west coast, overseen by young Nuu-chah-nulth, Chief Maquinna.
The two men's encounter would forever change trans-Pacific trade and teach the European empire a lesson in diplomacy, they've managed to forget, many times over.

#ForestProtectors Arrested at #FairyCreek
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 16, 2023
"Three forest protectors were arrested on Tuesday protecting the old-growth forests west of Victoria, as Canada continues to target #NativePeople with police operatives protecting the interest of destructive industries. The police ops are #BritishColumbia's C-IRG, the Community #Industry Response Group.
"Mourning the invasion of the #MilitarizedPolice squad who arrested the #ForestDefenders, who were his guests, #Pacheedaht #FirstNation Elder Bill Jones said, 'We are at the end times of our great forests.'
"Abolish C-IRG said, 'Due to the increasing amount of #indigenous-led anti-resource extraction movements in British Columbia, the Community-Industry Response Group was born. C-IRG is unique to British Columbia. They are militarized, have no budget limit, and the officers get paid handsomely to force #pipelines, #mines, #dams, and #logging through unceded #IndigenousTerritories, without consent. This is just another extension of the #RCMP’s original task- to remove and separate people from the land and enforce #ColonialRule. They do not keep us safe, they protect #capital."
Background: Back to Fairy Creek
"The last time the world was watching Fairy Creek, we witnessed the largest act of #CivilDisobedience in #CanadianHistory. Well over 1,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous forest defenders were arrested by the RCMP over months of tense standoffs in 2021 as #activists sought to halt the logging of rare #AncientTrees.
"The courts hammered that movement, with charges and bail conditions keeping many away, and the tussle in the trees went dormant for most of the last two years.
"Until now.
"A new blockade, led by #IndigenousYouth and supported by non-Indigenous allies, has just been erected on a key bridge crossing an arterial logging road. The RCMP's specialized tactical team that responds to land defence actions is present and surveilling the camp. A raid could come any day, and having #media on the ground is of crucial importance to keep tabs on police and document the latest developments as land defenders seek to protect their unceded territories from old-growth logging."

Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 109: Food Waste
Repurposing leftover Hallowe’en candy as farm animal fodder? It may sound wild, but as you’ll hear in this #podcast, it’s just one odd recommendation within the complex hierarchies of dealing with food waste…
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2296101/
This episode tackles food waste, an issue as old as #domestication. Food scholar Tammara Soma shares perspectives from “Critical food guidance for tackling food waste in Canada” (Vol. 9 No. 1 of Canadian Food Studies), and PhD student Dante Gbejewoh offers his response to the piece, encouraging listeners to leverage the article’s diagram about #closed-loop #foodsystems. Alexia Moyer sneaks us back to a long-titled #historical #cookbook on household management, including its implications for #gendered labour.

And some final images for tonight. The first one is a day late for #Caturday but still fun! Again, the range of styles and subject matter are striking and quite moving.

Here are four more images from that autograph book. The variety of styles and subject matter are striking. And it's hard not to feel the emotion of the artists who created the artworks 116+ years ago. The images are still vivid and engaging.
