In Positive Stories of Indian Residential Schools Must Also be Heard, Rubenstein and McCrae critically examine the current portrayal of the residential school system, which is often overwhelmingly negative. The authors argue that this narrative fails to acknowledge the positive experiences of many former students and the genuine intentions of those who worked within the system. While not dismissing the testimonies of abuse, the report emphasizes that these accounts do not represent the full spectrum of experiences at the schools.
The End of An Era

The bankruptcy preparations follow protracted negotiations between Tupperware and its lenders over how to manage more than $700 million in debt, according to the report.

The Wig Is Doing A Lot Of Heavy Lifting
Readers will note how “listening to the community” is conceived by Mr Bucholtz as deference and prostration, and regurgitating things that are obviously untrue. If it sounds like a struggle session, hold that thought.
Further to this, some additional thoughts.

Honey, I Finished The Internet
The Reification of Net Zero
By the time farms are forced to go net zero, their net income statements will have beat them to that number anyway.
The University of Manitoba is getting $7.6 million in federal funds to study net-zero farming systems.
U of M researcher Martin Entz, best known for his work on organics, is the project lead.

I can’t find any sign of it playing in Canadian theatres, but it would probably be a designated hate crime to buy tickets, so there’s that. Update – it may be a Saskatoon phenomenon. Let us know if you find it in theatres near you.

Exploding pagers
Some folks in Lebanon had a bad day today. Apparently Israel figured out a way to make all their pagers blow up at the same time. Kinda like the Godfather taking out all the family’s enemies at the same time.
Also, this will clearly indicate whose involved with a certain organization.
Update (from Kate);
According to Arabic news: the H!zbollah pagers were imported 5 months ago and contained 20 grams of explosive PETN in the pager batteries, Mossad detonating them by increasing the temperature.
This does indeed sound like an Eli Cohen special.

“It’s not in the best interest of our state or our nation to have the same federal agencies seeking to prosecute Donald Trump leading this investigation. … The public deserves to know the truth about how this assassination [attempt] came to be.”
What is “Hatecraft”?
Well, I don’t think anyone here needs an explanation, but it’s useful to have examples compiled in one place. And it’s more useful to have a word for it. Remember it and use it.

Massive missed opportunity
Why aren’t the oilsands companies planning on using CO2 for enhanced oil recovery? This is a colossal missed opportunity. Massive. Yuge. Yes, with a Y, like Trump.
Here’s my attempt at a reel from the Lloydminster Heavy Oil Show. Hopefully more to come.
Oh, and it looks like Muskrat Falls wasn’t just going to bankrupt the Newfies, who quietly got a $5 billion bailout during COVID, but it looks like Nova Scotia, too, is getting bailed out.
