National Long-Term Care Day
I just got a note from Bruyère LTC about this. Apparently, this is the first such occasion in Canadian history.

Canada Day 152
Canada Day.
Some of you are celebrating this anniversary. Some of you simply commemorate it. Still others among you lament its existence...some with far more just cause than others, I'm sorry to recall.
In any case, I wish that this particular instance, today, is kind to you.
Unless you're a dedicated Nazi, Klansman or Putinist looking to make trouble. If you're in those three categories, I suggest you repent of that. Otherwise...?

World Press Freedom Day 2019
Noting that today is World Press Freedom Day.
Let's make sure that next year's is closer to being worthy of celebration, rather than mere commemoration.

Yesterday Was World Press Freedom Day
And I neglected to note the fact here, despite doing so over on Facebook on the day itself.
Whatever flaws the Globe and Mail has (and it has a few), its management didn't neglect the occasion. They gave it their front page, naming the names of those journalists who've already died in the line of duty this year. This year is only four months old, and still there were twenty-seven dead per the reports of the Committee to Protect Journalists.
If you want the origin story of World Press Freedom Day, here's one perspective published by the Columbia Journalism Review.
