#CanadaDay2023
Had such a fun Canada Day Drum Circle! Thanks to all the participants and the Arts and Culture Centre - St. John's for the use of its lawn and outdoor stage--it was a blast!

Watched Back to the Outback as recommended by my little one.. it was perfect for #CanadaDay2023 and hope more Indigenous see it. It’s so funny, about chosen family and proximity to whiteness lessons too.

Doing a little tasting... A little smoke... Trying to be chill as loud noises bother my #cptsd
Big fireworks days suck but I'm definitely getting better at it. #stonedtoot #tinybitbuzzed #chill #fireworks #canadaday2023

On March 17th many countries join in the Greening of landmarks. #CanadaDay2023 Ireland paints the town red

Happy #CanadaDay2023 Gaelic (Irish) was widely spoken in
Eastern Canada in the 17th and 18th
centuries. In fact, the first and only officially
sanctioned Gaeltacht (designated Irish-
speaking area) to exist outside of Ireland is in
Tamworth, ON.

Happy Canada day!

The Authorship of the “Canadian Boat-Song”: A Bibliographical Note

“The ‘Canadian Boat Song’ has tantalized its admirers, for the question of its authorship has remained an unsolved puzzle…”

Linda Dowler analyses several possible candidates in Canadian Poetry 6, Spring/Summer 1980

From the lone shieling of the misty island
Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas—
Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland,
And we in dreams behold the Hebrides…

—“Canadian Boat-Song” (Anon.)
Noctes Ambrosianæ, Blackwood’s Magazine Sept 1829

It has been a while since I hosted a community drum circle; unfortunately the attendance during the pandemic really dropped off.

So, I have great news—I'm going to try to get the band back together! Ha, ha

This event will be held on the St. John's Arts and Culture Centre south lawn.

I hope you can join me to celebrate Canada Day 2023!
