Editor: Today, Tuesday, June 2, my friend went biking with her dog. She passed a trailhead along the Bow River. Two hours later, the dog was barely responsive. She phoned me. We went to the vet.

Editor: Congratulations – you did it. Years of hard work have earned you your degree, diploma, or certificate, and you should be immensely proud of your accomplishment.

Editor: We are in a revolutionary time, where people are fighting for equality and for justice. Black people are fighting for their lives to matter, and Indigenous people are still fighting to have equal human rights.
