Jay Silverheels was a gifted lacrosse player who left the sport to pursue acting.
He found fame as Tonto in The Lone Ranger, and then used that fame to help other Indigenous actors.
This is the great Canadian actor's story.

A black-and-white photograph shows a group of men standing in front of a small wooden building with a sign reading “HOME BANK OF CANADA” above the entrance. The building has large front windows and a simple rectangular structure. Several men stand in a row near the doorway while one man sits on the ground in front. They wear early 20th-century clothing such as shirts with suspenders, jackets, and hats. Pieces of wood and debris lie scattered on the ground in the foreground, and open land with a few structures appears in the background.
On Aug. 17, 1923, the 71-branch Home Bank of Canada failed.
Faced with public outcry over constant bank failures, the government acted.
Since 1923, two Canadian banks have failed, while 17,000 have failed in the USA.
This is the story of Home Bank of Canada

Pauline Johnson is shown in a studio portrait in profile, facing to the right. She has long, wavy hair that falls past her shoulders with curled bangs at the front. She wears a necklace made of claw-shaped pieces and a garment decorated with fringe, beadwork, and fur elements. The clothing features layered textures with hanging tassels and small decorative pieces across the chest and shoulders. The photograph has a light background and soft lighting that highlights her face and the details of the clothing.
Pauline Johnson was one of Canada's most acclaimed poets.
Her poems focused on her duel English-Mohawk heritage, which were reflected in her stage shows.
Over a century after her death, she remains an important literary figure in our history.
This is her story.

Maud Lewis sits at a small table in a brightly decorated room, smiling warmly while holding a paintbrush and a small object in her hands. She wears a floral apron over a green dress and a headscarf. Around her are painting supplies, including jars, brushes, and a dark container on the table. The walls and nearby surfaces are covered with colorful folk-art paintings of flowers, animals, and simple scenes, filling the small space with bright reds, yellows, greens, and blues. Sunlight from the right side illuminates her face and the cluttered painting area.
If there was a surface, Maud Lewis painted on it.
She turned her small home into a colourful work of art.
While she was born with birth defects, she never let that stop her from capturing the beauty she saw in the world.
This is her story.

Weird how creating conditions where powerful people never have to face real accountability leads to powerful people abusing their power. Who could have predicted that?
Smith says she's cutting access to social support programs because she "heard that people were moving here just to be on social programs."
This sort of hearsay framing is a dangerous rhetorical device employed by populists. Consider Donald Trump. +

Man, oh man.
If you’re at all discouraged right now, just listen here to President Obama eulogize the Reverend Jesse Jackson:
🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Exclusive: Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war.
Alberta's deficit could evaporate as war rages on in Iran, but that doesn't mean life will get any easier for Albertans.

The Alberta Medical Association with a rebuttal to Danielle Smith blaming them for triage doc delays.
AMA says they aren't responsible for the delay, claiming confusion amongst govt ministries about processes tied to the TLP positions is the culprit.
"Trump's attack on Iran is terrifying in part because it's so untethered from policy goals and logic. He offered a range of half-hearted explanations for his rush to war, but the conflicting excuses only underlined the obvious truth — he attacked Iran because he felt like it."

IMO this study missed some important factors.
The study found that smaller builders showed the largest decline in productivity.
Smaller builders often work on custom builds.
Custom builds are often more complex and one off designs.
This adds considerable time to

Jailed for losing a pregnancy: how progress on El Salvador’s harsh anti-abortion law is unravelling

The lives lost in war are the first concern, but there’s also something to be said about how this war will drive up the prices of just about everything while we’re in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.
