The Komagata Maru Incident

in 2017: her struggles with an under-thought directorial concept that cast her as a colonizer and a bungled design that eventually resulted in her shipping her own personal regalia in from the West Coast. Regular company member Gordon Patrick White, meanwhile, talked in a humorous way about battling through bureaucracy to smudge at Stratford, noting how stage managers used to have to accompany him as he smudged with an air purifier he dubbed the Recolonizer 3000.

Gabourie told of his own renegade smudging in a previous era at the Festival – and shared a fascinating family history that traces itself back to Louis Riel’s grandmother and the technical director for Buster Keaton, who worked out many of the silent film star’s most famous stunts.but, for theatre companies in Canada’s largest city, reopening is still a long way away.

Coronavirus Update: WHO reports largest single-day increase in global casesDate: Health experts warn pandemic is holding steady, despite what President Trump tells his supporters; National Indigenous Peoples Day goes virtual amid pandemic restrictions Yaaaay kill everyone!!!!! Except it's no longer accurate! No wonder trump got out of WHO because he was doing crimes against humanity and restricting testing so his numbers looked better. Like? How is that real life Global Cases..... Ok how many? How many with pre-conditions? How many over the age of 80? How many died of COVID only? How many died of their pre-conditions? How about giving us the stat's instead of the fear mongering. What an erroneous statement, 'LARGEST SINGLE DAY' BS!!

Senator Learned Her Lesson For Posting Racist Letters: CommitteeLynn Beyak took an anti-racism course after posting offensive letters about Indigenous Peoples. She should be”fired” or dismissed from the senate. She is utilizing her “white privilege” and a 4 day course to excuse her behaviour and previous statements. Senators are paid by our taxes to represent all Canadians. They and other leaders need to be held to a higher standard! One class does not erase the damage she’s caused. Apologies accepted but does it cure her racism or just make her more secretive?
