Snowy, Christmasy.
Isabelle is sort of energized by the recent events surrounding French language rights in the province. She’s meeting all kinds of new people in the Francophone community, and reconnecting with old ones.
The grocery store is a thousand degrees.
This time of year is a bit nuts, but in a good way.
Expect our annual Christmas tree getting episode soon!
It’s marking season. And grant review season. And article review for a journal season.
Hey it’s Canadian National Day of Podcasting!
Isabelle is off to stick it to the man. The man being the provincial government, who decided to cancel a planned francophone university in Toronto. I’m quite sure many conservative voters don’t care about the French fact in Ontario (or Canada frankly). Indeed, I know people from all over the political spectrum in this province who feel that way. Then again, a PC MPP quit the caucus over the French language funding cuts too.
Good luck Isa. Go get ‘em.
We’re going shopping a day early because Isabelle has a big weekend ahead of her. She’s got a bunch of cool cow themed ornaments for sale at a craft show, plus, she’ll show her paintings.
It’s the end of the term and I’m marking essays. I wrote a blog post about things I hate in essays. I’m going to lots of meetings.
The patriarchy is a thing.
The grocery store renovations are almost done.
Isabelle made a hair ribbon, it’s cute.
Isa is trying to connect with the local French community, and with francophone artists, which is pretty great.
