  2. Posting this here in the hope we can reach a few #authors on #bookstodon ... We now have authors participating in Fiction Fest from every part of Canada except Newfoundland & Labrador, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. We're still accepting sign ups from all provinces/territories, but If you are a Canadian author living in any of those 3 places, we would especially love to have you join us in our summer showcase.

    This is a completely online/virtual event and it already has a really good mix of tradpub, indie and hybrid authors signed up. It comprises of a book showcase and author gallery, plus a roster of live author readings and discussion panels.

    It's free to join, you don't need to provide copies of your books, and this is a grassroots cooperative effort that has all of us working together to shout out each other's books and #CanLit in general.

    We are also accepting #Canadian illustrators of graphic novels and picture books (even if the text of the book they illustrated is not written by a Canadian).

    Check out our Author FAQ for more details! ** Submissions close on May 1st. **

  3. 5/x Meanwhile, Memorial University's senior administration continues to actively undermine the governance structure of the university by finding ways to route around Senate (the body with decision making power on academic matters) through the use of a private consultant.

  5. This big, 120lb Newfoundland came in for round one today! His name is Oliver. 🥰💞

    His coat was shaved. 😭 It changed his coat health, so we are focused on, and dedicated to bringing his coat back to working for him… we want him to have his own temperature regulation system back, we want his coat to have it’s beautiful luster and shine back, and mostly… we want him to feel good again. 🙏✨🐾

  8. 4/x Fund the Freedom to Learn

    "A plaque in the atrium of the Arts and Administration building on MUN’s St. John’s campus reminds us that our university was created as a living tribute to the enormous sacrifices made by the people of Newfoundland and Labrador on the battlefields of Europe: “In the freedom of learning their cause and sacrifice might not be forgotten.”

    This legacy is a moving testament to the desire of the people of this province to build something of beauty and meaning that helps us all live better together now and in the future of this place."

  9. Kun on noin iso koira niin vaimo @chromatominna kokee kuulemma välistä "häiritsevää tuijotusta" kun yrittää työskennellä. Varsinkin kun ruoka ajat lähestyy.

  10. Any Glenwood Irving fans about?

    Background:
    youtube.com/watch?v=Z6vb4EPFjVA

    I caught sight of the attached painting in a @NTVNewsNL broadcast, sometime around Jan. 2016: 'Glenwood Irving' by Rodney Mercer. Only just managed to catch a photo of it on the screen.

    (Re-post from old account, for pinning)

  11. 2/x The cuts at our university are happening despite the university repeatedly showing that for every $1 of public money put into it, $2 - 4 come out into the broader economy. This tells us that the arguments for cuts are based on 'something' other than evidence.

  12. 1/x For more than a decade, our provincial government has been defunding our university. Now, contract faculty positions are being cut, class sizes are increasing, while students' tuition has increased 2x-4x over the last 2-3 years. Literally, paying more to get less... #munfa #MUN #newfoundland #labrador #postsecondary #university #canada

  13. Terrible #TributeBand name idea: #Coldplay tribute act called Cold Plate.

    Ahhh there's a #newfoundland group that beat me to it! fiddle, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, playing newfoundland and Irish traditional favorites on fiddle, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, and vocals. grahamlindsey.com/coldplate-ba #Music

  14. Hype for the Future 73D: L’Anse aux Meadows

    Introduction The Vikings and the associated settlements, though largely identified as having originated within the region now known as Northern Europe and Scandinavia, have since expanded from the modern nations of Norway and Sweden east into Finland and Russia, though only barely so, but more importantly, south and west into Denmark, Scotland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and, finally, Newfoundland. Old World or New World? Prior to 1492, the regions that the Vikings had settled […]

  15. Saint Pierre LFVP → St. Andrews Codroy Valley CDA5

    After takeoff and a big 270° turn, I cruised straight over Miquelon-Langlade (remember the last season of Peaky Blinders?) heading northwest. Hugged Newfoundland’s south coast all the way to the island’s western tip, where the tiny St. Andrews Codroy Valley airstrip marked the day’s finish line.

  16. If that woman dies, the officer should be charged with manslaughter. Especially as he may have caused her head trauma during the arrest.

    This guy definitely thought he was saving the day. In truth, he was engaging in abuse and made it clear to the public that he poses a threat for as long as he's an officer.

  19. I hoped to see caribou while I was in Newfoundland. I did not. I know they were close. I found their spoor, and a few times, I caught a strong whiff of them. They must have been just over the hill from me. If I'd had enough time, I'd have crested the hill to see them. Still, it's neat that they were close enough to smell. #poop #caribou #Newfoundland #scat #tracking

  20. The colorful jelly bean homes in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, brightened up our walk on a very damp day. Around us, even without the sun, there was a splash of the colors of the rainbow. #Newfoundland #TheRock #TravelPhotography #Eh who needs USA #TravelCanada

  21. From 2020. Don't believe that #QuebecHydro are for preserving nature, or the will of the voters, or respecting #NativeAmerican rights. They are all about making a buck!

    Indigenous group launch $4B lawsuit over huge hydro power project

    by Marc Montgomery, October 7, 2020

    "The #Innu say the project, begun in the late 1960’s and completed in the 1970’s, has flooded a vast area of ancestral lands causing #environmental and #cultural harm to their people.

    "In a statement, Innu Grand Chief Etienne Rich said, 'Over 50 years ago, #HydroQuébec and the provincial utility in #Newfoundland and #Labrador now called #NalcorEnergy, through the Churchill Falls (Labrador) Corporation, stole our land and flooded it in order to take advantage of the enormous hydro potential of the #ChurchillFalls,' adding, 'This project was undertaken without consulting us and without our consent'.

    "The Innu leaders said the flooded area of over 5,000 sq/km has covered traditional #BurialGrounds, hunting areas, #caribou migration paths and habitat for wildlife they depend on. They also said there was no #environmental assessment of the mega project, the second largest power generation project in #Canada, and among the biggest in the world."

  22. The #president of a #Canadian #university has #apologized & is taking a #LeaveOfAbsence after #allegations that she #falsely #claimed to be #Indigenous, in the latest #highProfile case of apparent #cultural #IdentityFraud .

    Vianne Timmons, who is president of #MemorialUniversity of #Newfoundland , said that she would be taking a six-week leave after the #CBC published a report last week questioning her claims that her father’s great-great-grandmother was #Mikmaq .

  23. There is controversy in #Newfoundland & Labrador over claims of #Indigenous ancestry by the president of #MemorialUniversity. A Mi’kmaw chief in Newfoundland is encouraging the university to consult with #Indigenous leaders about how to proceed. #Indigeneity #Mikmaq cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundlan
