There is a formal Government of Canada petition in my bio link, requesting that there be an investigation into who is funding the Alberta Separation referendum.

🇨🇦 Please sign it. 🇨🇦

You do have to be a 🇨🇦 resident and have to leave your name and address as it will be presented in the House of Commons.

I think we all know the answer and know why. As writes - we're already being poisoned by industry in this province.

The second photo - my kid has Crohn's and cannot eat any foods that contain emmulsifiers. There are no more birthday cakes 🎂. We now give flowers in lieu of food.

Alberta has the highest rate of Crohn's in the world. (Pollution triggers inflammation, alters gut microbiota, and impairs the intestinal barrier.)

Yearly MRIs have to be booked a year in advance. The latest wait time was 9 months.

Its all connected.

Women in business supporting women film makers.

If you are a woman business owner, and are interested in supporting this Edmonton based, women's film festival - and supporting up and coming film makers - let me know and I can put you in touch!

Also, fan-girling because I got to photograph Tantoo Cardinal 🤩

The fireworks which ended Lewes Bonfire Night were impressive. This is one of five separate displays. This one was held over the ruins of Lewes Priory, which is a lesson for another day on religion+politics+greed=bad.

A year ago this week, my son and I were in England and the timing of our trip coincided with the English tradition of Bonfire Night/Guy Fawkes Day. My Auntie and Uncle live in Lewes which has the most magnificent Bonfire Night. The town spends all year planning for it. It is a wanton spectacle of differing beliefs mashed together in a brilliant, hedonistic, fiery, five-hour march and display.

In Lewes, they light a flame for the protestants martyred under the reign of Catholic kings and queens. Guy Fawkes is paraded in effigy, but he was protesting the Protestant royalty, who persecuted Catholics. (Basically religion+politics=bad. A math less for our times.)

What fascinates me though, are the links to older celebrations. If you ask an English person if Guy Fawkes night is a repurposing of Halloween (All Saints' Day/All Hallows' Day) they will hotly deny that papist nonsense.

And an interesting full circle history moment - Halloween was brought to North America via the (mostly Catholic) Irish and Scots, and is becoming a more popular celebration in England due to globalization.

Guy Fawkes effigy. In Lewes they also have another political effigy each year. Last year it was the British Post Office for their mishandling of Horizon IT scandal. The Post Office pursued thousands of innocent subpostmasters for apparent financial shortfalls caused by faults in Horizon, an accounting software system developed by Fujitsu. The court cases, criminal convictions, imprisonments, loss of livelihoods and homes, debts, and bankruptcies led to stress, illness and family breakdowns, and were linked to at least thirteen suicides.

The fires at Lewes are wild. Costumed men, women and children carrying burning torches. Stripe-dressed men pulling wagons filled with fires. Firecrackers thrown on the ground in regular but unpredictable intervals. The bonfires (of which there are 5) were at least 2 stories high.

I had to search up this costume. What I found was: Michael Pastoureau’s 2001 book, ‘The Devil's Cloth: A History of Stripes’ revealed that stripes were originally worn by prostitutes, criminals, madmen and the like.

NOTE! The cross burning is for the Lewes Martyrs, not for the lulus who like to burn crosses in N. America.

On 6 June 1556, Thomas Harland of Woodmancote, near Henfield, Sussex, carpenter, John Oswald (or Oseward) of Woodmancote, husbandman, Thomas Reed of Ardingly, Sussex, and Thomas Avington (or Euington) of Ardingly, Sussex, turner, were burnt.

Richard Woodman and nine other people were burned together in Lewes on 22 June 1557, on the orders of Edmund Bonner, Bishop of London.
