I never thought I'd call a high school valedictorian metal but that was before this kid called for school board members to resign over their participation in racist and queerphobic oppression targeting students during his valedicory address.

The kids are out there putting it all on the line, fighting not to be dragged into a theocratic future. Adults could learn a thing or two.

In rural Australia in the 1940s, my mother had rocks thrown at her and was branded a 'communist' because her father, a school headmaster, advocated for establishing a public library.

In the Canadian province where I now reside, the Catholic Church controlled libraries -- and thus access to information -- until the 1960s.

We forget how recent the democratisation of knowledge is -- how transformative such institutions were and how hard-won.

We should not part with them easily.

Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

You couldn't go anywhere in the capital city this week without seeing vyshyvankas, which have new meaning in a conflict where the existence of Ukrainian nationhood is at stake.

If you have any doubts when you read this, imagine she were speaking about Jewish children. Or First Nations children. Or Black children. Imagine thinking it was ok to speak about any children in this vile hateful way. I wish I could say I was shocked or that this was disqualifying.

In the midst of the largest public health crisis in a century, more than 82 per cent of Albertans chose to be vaccinated against COVID. Not because they were charmed or corrupted by a genocidal dictator. They made a free and rational decision, based on science, to protect themselves, their families and their communities. It was an act of love. To compare them to Nazis, seduced by Hitler’s hate, is disrespectful to both the victims of the Holocaust and to the compassion and courage of Albertans.
Here’s a poem called ‘How to Avoid Mixing Your Metaphors’.
