Frog and Toad tramp through a windy meadow, kite in hand. From "The Kite" In *Days with Frog and Toad*
Frog and Toad went out to fly a kite. They went to a large meadow where the wind was strong.
“Our kite will fly up and up,” said Frog. “It will fly all the way up to the top of the sky.”

C'est une catastrophe! Même pour des nationalistes ça ne fait aucun sens! 1000 enseignant.e.s et d'employé.e.s de soutien d'écoles sont menacé.e.s d’un départ forcé hors à cause de la fin du PEQ!
M. Roberge? Vous n'entendez même pas le patron de la caisse Desjardins?
Le conseil de patronat est également du même avis.
Qui vous appuie?
Moi aussi, j'ai honte!
"83% des répondants se disent favorables à ce que «les personnes immigrantes qui occupent déjà un emploi et sont bien établies au Québec» puissent demeurer dans la province. Seulement 8% des répondants sont contre"
Une clause de droits acquis est demandée par 83% des gens! La CAQ doit écouter!

Another PEQ hero. Set to leave, supporting others. Those are Quebec values:

Could not be more proud of you, Team Canada.
You’re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.
This is also true here in Canada I am sure. @lqcna.bsky.social The paper is here. L'immigration est-elle bonne pour la santé? La réponse est: oui.

Many of us are the children of immigrants. Please inform yourself about the abolishment of the PEQ program. You'll understand why you must sign this petition to support people who have given up so much to come here, and were recruited by the very government threatening to make them leave. #PEQ
💙💙💙
Please sign this official petition to reopen the PEQ and provide a grandfather clause for those dedicated, tax-paying workers whose lives are being destroyed by the sudden abolishment of a programme that was promised to them.
Signons pour la réouverture immédiate du PEQ ou minimalement un clause de roit acquis!
Pétition: Mise en place d'une clause de droit acquis dans le cadre du Programme de l’expérience québécoise (PEQ)
Vous croyez vous aussi que ça prend une clause grand-père pour les orphelins du PEQ? Signez la pétition sur le site de l'Assemblée nationale du Québec! 👇

#Women&GirlsinScienceDay Academic & particle physicist Anne Kernan was a huge advocate for women in science, on one occasion funding a trip to CERN for an undergrad she had never met, meeting her at the airport and paying for her accommodation until funding came through. www.dib.ie/biography/ke...
A tale of two billionaires. Jeff Bezos was at fashion week in Europe while he pulled a let-them-eat-cake firing of 30% of Washington Post journalists. Jimmy Lai stood by his newsroom and he will now likely die in a Hong Kong prison. Tell everyone you know about Jimmy Lai.

This is quite funny. Unless I am mistaken, the first newspaper to declare US Declaration of Independence was a German-language journal in Pennsylvania... www.atlasobscura.com/articles/ger...
Fascinating life, fascinating obituary. To imagine that Georges Borchardt had trouble convincing publishers to purchase the rights to Elie Wiesel's Night...
I usually hesitate to post obituaries but this one, of my literary agent, Georges Borchardt, born in 1928, is so unusual that it deserves to be widely shared.
An incredible 20th century life

Here’s a podcast that does a good job of laying out what’s at stake, and why all of us need to get off the sidelines to demand change.
