That means that many rural areas will not receive items. My rural school has ordered exhibit boxes and Giant Maps from national museums/organizations and have consistently been told they are undeliverable, meaning I have to drive to get them from a depot. Canada Post is a service, not a business.

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

And Beaumont-Hamel.

Traditionally that part of Lanark County didn’t. It used to be very rural, small farming villages but has changed a lot in the last 20 years, more suburban. Bruce did the same retail politics for the last year, door to door that Pierre did in 2004 to oust David Pratt, a sitting minister.

So dreaming of a Higgsing

Either way, this is going to be an election result like the Great Big Sea song Clearest Indication. « like a country divided 51 to 49 ».

This is so cool! Where did you get the image?

Can you tell me about the permissions you have for these paintings? I’d love to use them to teach my students but I don’t want to infringe on someone’s copyright.

And what happens if the Conservatives lose and the trucker convoy comes back to town?

Okay, yes, do that. Polls don’t elect people, ballots do. And then we all collectively hold our breath.

I am sending you all my hugs. This timeline sucks.

And yet the handful of kids who are transgender are a bigger problem to a section of the population than other issues that affect far more people. I am tired of politicians using anger to harness power.

Nobody move. Nobody touch anything.

Feels also like an opportunity to do something with Sunglasses Carney?

Serious question: what’s with the ads after your article?

Longest ballot protest targets Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's riding | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will be facing more opponents than ever in his eighth federal campaign, thanks to dozens of protest candidates running in his riding.

Longest Ballot Committee group are advocating for electoral reform. They organized it so 91 candidates ran in LaSalle-Émard-Verdun (Montreal) Sept. 2024 and 84 in Toronto-St. Paul's Feb.2025 by-elections. They wanted to do the same in Carney’s riding but didn’t have enough time. It’s a protest.

I was thinking this guy for Heritage Minister.

You should read the rest of the chapter and see about the other campaigns they did together! Really good book.
