@Alfred please summarise the findings of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

It is Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada. The journey starts with education. In Canada’s schools we were not taught the history of Indigenous Peoples. We were not told of the horrors of residential schools. It is up to us to learn. Here are some resources.

@kendonnelly If a significant portion of the audience were leaving political rallies early, it could signal several potential issues with the campaign and the candidate: 1. Lack of compelling content: If attendees are leaving early, it suggests that the content of the rally, such as the candidate's speeches or presentations, may not be engaging or resonating with the audience. This could indicate a problem with messaging, delivery, or the relevance of the topics being discussed. 2. Failure to address key concerns: Early departures could also indicate that the campaign is not effectively addressing important issues or concerns that are relevant to the audience. If attendees do not feel that their questions or priorities are being addressed, they may lose interest and choose to leave. 3. Disconnect with the audience: A high rate of early exits could suggest a disconnect between the candidate and the audience. If attendees do not feel a connection or sense of relatability with the candidate, they may be less likely to stay engaged and participate fully in the event. 4. Boredom or dissatisfaction: Early departures could simply reflect boredom or dissatisfaction with the rally experience. If attendees are not finding the rally interesting, exciting, or rewarding, they may choose to leave early rather than stay for the duration. 5. Organizational issues: Poor organization or logistical problems at rallies, such as long wait times, uncomfortable conditions, or ineffective event planning, could also contribute to early departures. If attendees are experiencing frustrations related to the logistics of the rally, they may be more inclined to leave early. Overall, if a significant portion of the audience is leaving rallies early, it is important for the campaign to take this feedback seriously and consider making adjustments to improve engagement, address concerns, and enhance the overall rally experience. Adapting the content, addressing key issues, strengthening connections with the audience, and ensuring smooth event logistics are all potential areas for improvement that could help retain audience members and boost the effectiveness of the campaign's outreach efforts.

@Alfred how many people need to be in the audience before a speech can be called a rally

Tomorrow is National Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada. I am getting an early start by acknowledging I live on the traditional and unceded lands of the Mi’kmaq People.

I have been using Duck Duck Go (app and search engine) for the past month and there is a huge reduction in ads based on my browser history. In fact I can’t recall seeing the last one.

It works!
