The Permanent Settlement locks land ownership into British-friendly landlord hands. The famine of 1770 killed a third of the population. The next famine is coming.

Back to School
The pencil cases are purchased. The backpacks are packed. Every Canadian child has a first-day-of-school photo standing on the front porch, and every Canadian parent has posted it. The real tradition is buying too many school supplies because the list said three notebooks and you bought twelve. The other tradition is the school bus that comes ten minutes early on the first day and ten minutes late on every day after.
