The Summerland fire in BC is truly scary. I’ve rented a place in Summerland. A ton of Okanagan fruit is grown is Summerland. It’s beautiful country with a significant number of people living there or nearby. I hope the human damage is limited

Child rethought regional responsibility for slavery, telling her fellow Northerners that their money, racism, & political cowardice made them complicit. “Let us not flatter ourselves,” she wrote. Boston was unamused.
