I still take Via Rail whenever I have to go to Toronto, Ottawa or Quebec from Montreal, and it's so convenient and relaxing to go from home to somewhere in another city entirely by rail the whole way. Especially compared to the circus that is flying today. But why does it have to be so dogdamn slooooow. And I wish there were more than a couple viable destinations for someone who doesn't want to drive everywhere.
I hope they manage to deepen and to leverage more those partnerships.
And it warms my heart to hear about local governments reaching out to cooperate internationally on progressive policies, despite their backwards central governments. Even though I understand the real-world impact of those partnerships can be limited.
The Pact was established in 2019 by four Central European capitals—Bratislava, Budapest, Prague, and Warsaw—to share best practices in urban development and municipal governance, as well as to resist illiberal and populist practices of their respective central governments. Since then, the regional platform has expanded to cover municipalities across Europe, such as Berlin, Paris, Riga, and Vienna, and across North America, including Los Angeles, Boston, Seattle, and Chicago. It currently boasts 45 members. In 2021, the Taiwanese cities of Taipei and Taoyuan became the Pact’s first, and so far only, members from East Asia.
Jes, mi ankaŭ estas tie, kvankam mi forgesis pri ĝi post kiam mi aliĝis. Amuze, mi nuntempe legas la ĝustan saman libron, kiun mi tie registris kiel legonta (Solaris de Stanislaŭ Lem). Mi ĝisdatigis ĝin al leganta, dankon pro la rememorigado!
I've watched the first episode, yeah doesn't look like it's gonna be the Inuit version of Reservation Dogs as I would've hoped, but still probably a show I'll enjoy watching.
So far I've loved every tv show Taika Waititi has been involved with, and many of them I've only found out when checking "ok, what else has he done" on wikipedia. Most recently, Reservation Dogs and Our Flag Means Death.
Also, I think there are many canadian tv shows that are really good and deserve a wider global audience: like Heated Rivalry, 19-2 (the original one in French) and Happily Married (C'est comme ça que je t'aime).
I'm old enough that the first kind of "web search" that I used were manually compiled website directories. Some are still around, maybe try a few and see if you like them. Come to think of it, it's probably still a fun way of exploring websites around a subject. Here's the current incarnation of one of the most prominent ones:
It's a great show, at least the earlier seasons. And (from my limited perspective as a clueless outsider) seemed to represent native culture and integrate it into the storyline in a very natural and non-otherizing way.

Interesting map from the report:

Estou nessa foto mas não me enxergo
The other teasers were ok-ish, but this one gave me goose bumps as a book reader!
There's a video in the article showing a few, like pitching a tent and then taking it down.

Wellington Paranormal is hilarious. Didn't know about this movie though, will add to my watchlist, thank you!
Hey, a fellow Ayreonaut in the wild!
Yeah, how could I forget about him. Anyone who's into science fiction and prog rock should check it out, and his other projects like Star One too.

For me the third and last book trilogy was even better than the rest, a shame it didn't make it into the show.
It's a great show, at least the earlier seasons. And (from my limited perspective as a clueless outsider) seemed to represent native culture and integrate it into the storyline in a very natural and non-otherizing way.
So maybe that's where all the good copper went to, someone was desperately trying to get into Ningal's good graces
Mi ne sciis pri tiuj, mi esploros ilin poste, dankon!
Ja, ankaŭ bonas havi ne-usonan alternativon por tradukiloj.
