And our last question of the week:
Q8. Do you have a photo to share from a ride or of something cycle-related from the past week? It doesn't have to be anything special. If you'd like to, share one and tell us about it!

The Numbered Treaties (1871-1921)
Canada's westward expansion after 1867 was not into empty land. The Numbered Treaties, 11 agreements signed between the Crown & First Nations from 1871-1921 allowed it. Foundational, deeply complex & controversial, they cover vast territories -- Ontario to the Rockies. Essential to understand Canada's creation & relationship with Indigenous peoples. #Canada#CreationOfCanada#IndigenousHistory#Treaties

Rightwing ‘parents’ rights’ groups gain ground in Canada as Alberta book bans target LGBTQ+ titles
“Many of these groups emerged as anti-vax groups during the Covid-19 pandemic, and then used social media to widen their scope of causes, including strict parental oversight.
“It’s a major initiative right now that grows out of this notion that ‘our kids are our property’,” he said. “It’s a very backward-looking, reactionary way of understanding how children learn.”
