Scott Breton.

Astounding works by Brisbane, Australia-based artist Scott Breton.

Influenced by an array of subject matter, Scott’s paintings evoke futuristic dreamscapes as well as metaphorical instances of change and growth.

“Using a range of traditional drawing, painting and sculpting media as well as exploring digital counterparts to these,” Scott explains and that he “sees plastic composition rather than any particular media as the core of the classical ethos [and how its] sense of plasticity can be utilized by the contemporary artist.

“This endeavor seems to closely mirror a more general exploration of how the specifics of the contemporary human experience relate to and can be informed by insights about the human condition that have emerged across all of human history.”

Over the weekend, a story came out of Brussels that many may have missed. The twenty-seven member states of the European Union reached an agreement on a new law requiring big online platforms, including social-media companies, to police hate speech and disinformation more effectively. Under the E.U.’s Digital Services Act, European governments now have the power to ask Web platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to remove any content that promotes terrorism, hate speech, child sexual abuse, or commercial scams. The platforms will also be obliged to prevent the “manipulation of services having an impact on democratic processes and public security.”

“The time of big online platforms behaving like they are ‘too big to care’ is coming to an end,” Thierry Breton, the E.U.’s commissioner for the internal market, declared. If the European authorities see a surge of online disinformation during a crisis, such as the ongoing war in Ukraine, they will be able to order social-media companies to take “proportionate and effective measures” to counter the threat. Although the new E.U. agreement stops short of treating online platforms the same as traditional publishers (which may be legally liable for intentionally false content about specific individuals and companies), it will force them to provide users with “an easy and effective way” to flag harmful content, so that it can be removed. The platforms will also be subject to annual audits by European regulators on their efforts to counter disinformation and other abuses. Platforms that violate the new law can be fined billions of dollars, and repeat offenders may even be banned from doing business in the E.U.

Ironically, the E.U. members adopted the new measures only days before the board of directors of Twitter entered into an agreement to sell the company to Elon Musk, a self-styled defender of free speech and a vigorous opponent of government regulation, for about forty-four billion dollars. “The proposed transaction will deliver a substantial cash premium, and we believe it is the best path forward for Twitter’s stockholders,” Bret Taylor, Twitter’s chairman, who is also the co-C.E.O. of the software company Salesforce, said in a statement.

Evidently, financial considerations overrode any reservations that the members of Twitter’s board may have had about selling the company to Musk, who has frequently criticized its management and demanded changes in how the site operates. Musk’s bid of fifty-four dollars and twenty cents a share represents a premium of close to forty per cent over the firm’s stock price on April 1st, immediately before he disclosed that he had acquired a nine-per-cent stake in the company. But, even though the financial logic of the deal is straightforward, the implications of Musk taking control of Twitter are, from a broader perspective, potentially highly problematic, especially since he still hasn’t answered some pressing questions about his intentions for the site, including whether he plans to allow Donald Trump back onto it.

In a statement on Monday, Musk said that he wanted “to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans.” These aren’t necessarily bad ideas. Allowing users to edit tweets and authenticating their identities could conceivably improve Twitter. The idea of opening up Twitter’s algorithm also sounds benign, although it could clash with the goal of defeating the bots, because once the spammers know Twitter’s formula for serving up tweets they may be better able to game it.

But none of Musk’s suggestions addressed the fundamental issue of which approach Twitter will now take toward content moderation. Will the company maintain the heavy investments in artificial intelligence and human monitors that it has made in recent years? Will it expand these monitoring efforts as demanded by the new European law? Or will it move in the other direction, dismantling them and allowing the return of former users it had suspended or banned, particularly Trump?

Based on the signs so far, the answer to the last question is yes, Trump and others who have been banned will return. Even though Trump currently insists that he won’t return even if he is invited—he has his own social-media app to promote—many of his supporters are openly celebrating the news of Musk’s takeover. During a staff meeting on Monday, a Twitter employee asked Parag Agrawal, the firm’s chief executive, whether Trump would be allowed back. “We constantly evolve our policies,” Agrawal replied. “Once the deal closes, we don’t know what direction this company will go in.”

Based on some of his public statements, Musk seems intent on taking Twitter back to the not at all distant era when social media was a free-for-all. “I do think that we want to be just very reluctant to delete things,” he said, in an interview earlier this month. If Twitter does go in this direction, it could encounter pushback from corporate advertisers that don’t like being associated with disinformation, incitement, and controversy. Musk has suggested that Twitter should grow its subscriptions base to become less dependent on advertisers, but it’s not clear how many people would pay to use the site, especially if its contents are largely unfiltered.

Musk has also said that his pursuit of Twitter is driven by the desire to protect free speech and “help freedomn in the world” rather than to make money. These are fine-sounding words, but it sometimes seems as if Musk’s notion of free speech amounts to attacking and lampooning anybody who challenges him, including the financial regulators who charged him with securities fraud and fined him twenty million dollars for tweeting misleading information in 2018 about a possible buyout of Tesla. “Even as Twitter’s board on Monday was debating his offer . . . Mr. Musk was setting the tone for his leadership by tweeting that Securities and Exchange Commission officials were ‘shameless puppets,’ ” Greg Bensinger, a member of the Times’ editorial board, noted. Last week, Musk used his Twitter account, which has about eighty-five million followers, to try fat-shaming Bill Gates, whom he also accused of speculating against Tesla’s stock.

In a column for the Guardian, Robert Reich, a former U.S. Secretary of Labor, argued that Musk’s real goal in purchasing Twitter is to create a position for himself where he is unaccountable to anything, from laws to market competition. Whether that’s entirely accurate or not, the pending takeover provides yet another confirmation that Congress needs to treat the big online platforms like the social utilities they are, and regulate them. A first step would be to pass the American Innovation and Choice Online Act, which cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee, on a bipartisan basis, in January. This legislation would prohibit dominant platforms, such as Amazon and Google, from exploiting their market power to boost their own products by discriminating against their competitors.

Regulating content in a manner consistent with protecting free speech may be a trickier proposition, but the E.U. has just provided a road map for how it could be done: by putting the onus on social-media companies to monitor and remove harmful content, and hit them with big fines if they don’t. The Digital Services Act is “nothing short of a paradigm shift in tech regulation,” Benb Scott, the executive director of the advocacy group Reset, told the Associated Press. “It’s the first major attempt to set rules and standards for algorithmic systems in digital media markets.”

Musk would surely object to the U.S. adopting a regulatory system like the one that the Europeans are drawing up, but that’s too bad. The health of the Internet—and, most important, democracy—is too significant to leave to one man, no matter how rich he is.

Ernest Pignon-Ernest 

Quel crédit accorder à un artiste (un écrivain aussi bien) qui ne toucherait à aucun moment de son art au cœur même de l'humain ? Qui ne serait cet archer qui annonce à sa façon, en poète qu'il est : « Et d'un oeil avisé nous mirons droit dans la rime.» Bonheur de l'anagramme : rime, mire (rima). Le cœur de l'humain ? Métaphore du romantisme à travers les siècles, pour reprendre le titre d'un livre de Philippe Muray qui désigne en vérité, comme nous le signifie un poème du XVIII siècle, le sexe, plus précisément le sexe de la femme. Le tireur à l'arc, chasseur de fauves : « Et nous mettons droit les yeux dans la fente/Et nous ne tirons jamais de coups décochés en vain. S'il est un artiste, poète et chasseur qui sait mettre droit les yeux dans la fente du réel, de tout le réel, c'est-à-dire dans le lieu où le réel s'ouvre pour délivrer son sens; s'il est un dessinateur qui ne tire jamais un trait décoché en vain, c'est bien Ernest Pignon-Ernest. Archée : principe de vie, feu central de la terre. Viser le feu de la femme, c’est viser dans le même temps et plus fondamentalement le feu de la terre, le principe même de la vie. Titre du tableau de Courbet : L'Origine du monde. Le Vésuve sait faire jaillir sa rougeoyante semence sur Naples et la côte amalfitaine. Zelda, épouse de Francis Scott Fitzgerald, dans une rue de Paris, brise la vitre d'une borne d'appel aux pompiers: « Vite, vite, venez Vite, j’ai le feu au cul ! » Naples n'est pas choisi au hasard par Ernest Pignon-Ernest. Présence de Virgile, bien sûr, près de la tombe duquel, en manière d'hommage, il colle son dessin. C'est aussi la ville où Vivant Denon situe sa Belle Napolitaine vue de dos. Vue de dos mais, robe relevée, exhibant son magnifique cul, et la tête tournée, regard aguicheur, vers les mâles suiveurs, vers nous aujourd'hui, les voyeurs du dessin, vers ceux de demain, pour s'assurer auprès de nous, auprès d'eux, d'un effet maximum. Qui m'aime me suive ! Qui me suit me baise ! Force du dessin d'Ernest : il indique que le siècle libertin de Vivant Denon est loin, que le XIX° est passé par là. La femme, de face, exhibe son sexe mais détourne la tête, se cache les yeux. La culpabilité a fait son ouvrage, du coup, son sexe est d'autant plus en feu. Double effet d'obscénité, laquelle, selon Bataille, rend la beauté du sexe encore plus fascinante : la Napolitaine n'est pas nue et elle est velue. Pas nue. Bataille encore: « Je pense comme une fille enlève sa robe. » Ernest dessine comme une fille soulève sa robe. Le dévoilement est autrement plus érotique, plus scandaleux, que le déjà dévoilé. Velue. Présence taboue de l'animalité chez la femme. Breton n'est pas Bataille, on le savait. « C'est une honte, déclarait l'auteur de L'Amour fou (retour à grands pas du XIX siècle dans la poésie du XX), qu'il y ait encore des sexes non rasés. » Merci à Virgile, merci à Pignon-Ernest, d'avoir, chacun en leur temps, fouillé, tisonné les cendres de la honte pour ranimer les laves ardentes du sexe et de l'amour.

 Julius Caesar Ibbetson (1759-1817), ‘Stone Henge 7 Miles N.W. of Salisbury’. Hand-coloured etching and aquatint on paper, from England, 1791. :: [British Museum]

* * * *

Stonehenge was carefully designed to align with the solstice, marking the extreme limits of the sun’s movements – the word solstice is derived from the Latin sol (“sun”) and sistere (“to stand still”).

The enormous sarsen stones and smaller bluestones were precisely arranged to frame two particular events in the year: the sunrise at summer solstice, and the sunset at winter solstice.

[British Museum] :: [h/t Scott Horton]

“When the second stage of Stonehenge was built on Salisbury Plain c. 2700 BC, it could not have been called Stonehenge, which is an English name. The English had not yet arrived. The English language had not been invented. The Plain would have been there; but it could not have been named after Salisbury, since Salisbury itself had not been founded. One may deduce that a year equivalent to 2700 BC once existed; but no such date could have been conceived before the birth of Christ or the concept of a Common Era. There was no country called 'France', and nothing equivalent to it; there was no 'England', and there was no 'Britain', and no 'Brittany'. As yet, there were no Ancient Gauls, no Ancient Britons, and no Ancient Bretons. This holds good even if each of those later communities would owe much to the gene pool of their unidentifiable predecessors.” ― Norman Davies, The Isles: A History

“Aisling McKeen vs Her Outdated Ideals”

—-

(Spoilers for “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off”)

Roxanne “Roxie” Richter happily hummed the Hamster Dance as she skipped through Toronto. She was on her way home from helping her friend and former member of the League of Evil Exes, Todd Ingram work out and get back on track with his vegan lifestyle. He had been making good progress.

As Roxie slid on an ice patch just outside St. Mary’s Parish, the doors opened and Roxie spotted her adorable crush, Aisling McKeen. The Cape Breton native wore a blue parka, black jeans, and Ugg boots. Her eyes were cast upward as her mouth moved.

Roxie smiled warmly. She’d had a crush on Aisling since they bumped into each other completely by chance a few weeks back.

The problem was that Aisling still hadn’t accepted that she liked girls. Something was holding her back.

And it was Roxie’s self-appointed mission to help her over that hurdle. Then go out with Aisling.

Roxie used a smoke bomb to vanish, then reappeared in front of her crush. “Hey, Ash.”

Aisling smiled. “Good morning, Roxie. How are you today?”

“A little hungry, actually. I know this amazing cafe that has really good French Toast. Care to join me?” Roxie requested.

Aisling considered the offer. “You mean… as friends, right?”

“With benefits?” Roxie asked eagerly.

“No benefits,” Aisling gestured toward the Church. “Sacreligious.”

Roxie deflated. “Worth a shot. But, yes, just a friendly brunch. I… recently went through a hell of a battle and could use some normalcy to ground myself.”

Aisling giggled. “How normal can our lives be when you have ninja powers and I’m a Cleric?”

Roxie shrugged. “Nothing tries to kill us today?”

“Fair.” Aisling replied.

—

At the small cafe, the two young women sat across from each other. “So, why did you leave Cape Breton?” Roxie asked.

Aisling sighed. “Partially because I wanted to travel and see where my talents would be most needed, but mostly because… I wanted to distract myself from my past. See, Cape Breton is small. Everyone knows everyone. They know you. All your business. And when someone caught me staring at a fellow female Cleric with… more than just curiosity, it got back to my father… the Chief Cleric…”

Roxie frowned. “And… how did he take it?”

“I don’t know. I left before he could summon me.” Aisling admitted.

Roxie winced. “Oof… sorry, Ash,” she reached across the table and took Aisling’s hand. “Is that why you’re… trying to deny that part of yourself?”

Aisling pulled her hand away. “It’s not me. It was… Satan’s influence. It had to be. It’s not… natural to be attracted to the same sex.”

Roxie sighed. It was worse than she thought. She looked at Aisling with pity. “Honey… don’t Catholics believe that God makes each of us the way we’re meant to be?”

“Well, yes, but…” Aisling trailed off.

“Look, God made you gay. And He didn’t do it to punish you. He did it for a reason. A good reason,” Roxie reached for Aisling’s hand again. “If people tell you that’s wrong, they’re the problem, not you. It’s okay to like girls, Ash.”

“But… if I’m in a relationship with a girl, I can’t… get married according to Catholic rite… or have children.” Aisling countered.

Roxie laughed. “Whoa, slow down, girl. You’re not dating anyone yet. Don’t worry about that stuff. Live in the now.”

Aisling glared at her. “You’re not even Catholic. How can you know God’s will? His plan for me?”

“Because, religious or not, having trouble with coming out is fairly common. Sure, some have it easier than others, but sometimes, coming out can be a real nightmare. And the possibility of that nightmare becoming reality is what can stop us in our tracks,” Roxie smiled and squeezed Aisling’s hand. “That’s why you need to surround yourself with people who will love you for you.”

Aisling looked away. “But if you’re wrong… and God doesn't want me to like girls… I’ll lose my powers.”

“No, you won’t.” Roxie declared.

“How do you know?” Aisling demanded.

“Because you still have them despite the way you looked at that Cleric. Despite the way you blushed when we first met,” Roxie leaned in close. “You’re gay and I like that about you.” She kissed Aisling. It was a quick kiss, no passion.

But from the moment Roxie’s lips touched hers, an electric spark raced from Aisling’s lips down to her heart. She suddenly felt a surge of power race through her.

Thou hast discovered thy true self, Daughter. Your magics are now +5 Healing, +4 Accuracy, +5 Mana. Use them well for my Glory.

When the kiss parted, Roxie smiled. “So? Did you see sparks too?”

Aisling blinked. “Uh-huh… and I think… I’m a stronger Cleric for it too.”

“Cool,” Roxie sat back, resting a hand on her cheek. “So, what now?”

“Well, we eat French Toast… ooh, with blueberries… then… I dunno, maybe I call my folks and tell them I’m okay,” Aisling smiled warmly. “That I’m loved.”

“Solid plan.” Roxie smiled back.

yo pls drop the names of those bretons + pre-roman peoples in iberia books..

João Aguiar is the man for pre Roman stories. Uma Deusa na Bruma is my favourite book of his, A Voz dos Deuses and A Hora de Sertório are equally good. They are all about the roman invasion of the iberian peninsula or just roman presence. The second one I mentioned is about Viriato. I call Uma Deusa na Bruma the portuguese mists of Avalon, and what's so fucking great about that book, is that at the very end he has an afternote where he explains the creativity process behind the book from the moment he assisted in excavations in the north of portugal. It's so goddamn interesting

Marion Zimmer Bradley is your go to for bretons and shit, especially arthuriana and welsh/breton myths. It's not just the Mists of Avalon. The Forest House is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read but keep in mind it's love story, that's all it is. You also have The Lady of Avalon and another one I forget the name rn tbh. For even older shit check The Fall of Atlantis. The Firebrand is the Trojan war seen through Cassandra's eyes.

Just a warning about MZB. Number one, expect a rape scene to show up. For one reason or another, there's always one. Number 2, outside the Mists of Avalon, sex scenes are pretty cringe. The Mists of Avalon actually describes sex very beautifully but homegirl gave it all in those 4 books and then just gave up. Number 3, stay away from The Crows of Avalon, it was not written by her, it was written by her half sister and it fucking sucks. And most importantly, bc I feel it's my moral duty to warn you of this:

MZB is a monumental piece of shit. Like, she was an absolutely horrific woman. You wanna enjoy the books, stay away from the woman herself. Don't think too hard on the 80s new age feminism people branded her work with. Her books can be painfully problematic, cringe as fuck and awkward, but many of them are beautiful stories. It's just that as a human being, she was a pile of shit.

Also check Manda Scott's Boudica saga. It's insanely good and oh my god does that woman know her horses

If you like that kind of shit, give Juliet Marillier a try. Juliet Marillier is the "graduated from The Mists of Avalon" saga, but I sincerely hated the first book with a burning passion. Daughter of the Forest, I think it's called. It's inspired by a german fairy tale (better known as the irish tale of the Children of Lir) and it's set in Ireland around the 4th century I believe. Again, I hated it but that was me, you might like it

That's all I can remember for now, I'll get back to this post if something occurs to me in the meantime

Breton Nude William Scott (1913–1989) Bristol Museum & Art Gallery

[borderepisteme]

“[....]Sigmund Freud suggested that the return of the dead constitutes the most primal and profound fear of humanity. “There is,” he wrote in 1919, “scarcely any other matter upon which our thoughts and feelings have changed so little since the very earliest times . . . the belief that the dead man becomes the enemy of his survivor and seeks to carry him off.”

* * *

[....]The work of the avant-garde had, by 1920, bridged the trauma of war and the world of the horror film. André Breton, who wrote the Surrealist Manifesto (1924), had his life profoundly altered by his own experience of the Great War. Born into a petit bourgeois family in Normandy, Breton studied medicine and psychiatry before 1914 and then served in a neurological medical unit in Nantes in 1915. Here he witnessed firsthand the effects of war trauma, the shell shock of soldiers from the front, most soon forced to return or face the accusation of malingering.

While working at the hospital in Nantes, Breton befriended a fellow devotee of experimental literature, Jacques Vaché. The antisocial, monocle-­wearing Vaché has been nearly forgotten today. However, his Lettres de guerre (War Letters), published in 1919, heavily influenced Breton and the surrealist movement more generally, with his description of the trenches as a monstrous compendium of blood and bodily fluids, rain “pissing like ­vinegar” and the sun “sprinkled with acid” when it looks on the cataclysm below. Vaché committed suicide by overdosing on opium soon after the war.

Horror offered the surrealists the grammar for the new language they sought to create. The form offered a way to represent shell shock in both its literal and metaphoric manifestations. Surrealists developed a deep fascination with the work of Freud, whose essays on the nature of trauma and nightmare began to appear in the 1910s. Freud’s three sons, Martin, Oliver, and Ernst, all served in the Austro-Hungarian army. Martin spent much of 1915–1918 in an Italian prisoner of war camp. Observation of the global bloodletting forced Freud to broaden his definition of trauma beyond infantile sexuality and early, repressed memories of Oedipal obsessions. A death ­instinct—which included both horror and allure—lay submerged and waiting in our swamplike unconscious, a greater threat than our sexual repressions.

Surrealist art, heavily influenced by Freud, in turn influenced the first horror films. The earliest masterpieces of horror, including Nosferatu, The Golem, and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), all drew on surrealist themes. Carl Theodor Dreyer’s haunting Vampyr (1932) self-consciously sought to put surrealism and other modern artistic movements onto film stock. Dreyer commented on his passionate interest in modern art at the time of making Vampyr. The monster masterpieces from Tod Browning and James Whale that emerged from Universal Studios drew implicitly on avant-garde art even as they disdained any discussion of “intellectual influences,” knowing it would seem absurdly pretentious to do otherwise, in the “that’s entertainment,” jazz-hands world of 1930s Hollywood.”

Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia is a province located in eastern Canada, known for its stunning natural beauty, rich culture, and vibrant communities. This article aims to provide an in-depth look at the history, geography, ecosystem, politics, economy, and culture of Nova Scotia. It will cover everything from the province's early settlement and colonization to its current environmental challenges and technological advancements. You will also learn about the top cities and places to visit, the delicious local cuisine, and the various accommodation options available to visitors. The name "Nova Scotia" means "New Scotland" in Latin, and it is steeped in history and cultural significance. The province was originally inhabited by several Indigenous peoples, including the Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, and Passamaquoddy, who have lived in the region for thousands of years. In the 1600s, the French and British began colonizing the area, leading to a tumultuous history that has left its imprint on the province's culture and landscape. Today, Nova Scotia is a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a host of exciting activities and sights to explore. From the rugged coastline and pristine beaches to the lush forests and rolling hills, there is something for everyone to enjoy here. Whether you are interested in exploring the province's rich cultural heritage, sampling its delicious seafood cuisine, or simply taking in the stunning natural scenery, Nova Scotia has something to offer all who visit. This article will cover a wide range of topics related to Nova Scotia, including its history, geology, geography, ecology, climate, environmental issues, politics, economy, infrastructure, science and technology, famous people, demographics, health, culture, and activities to do. It will also provide information on the province's various cities, top places to visit, and recommendations for accommodation and transportation. Whether you are planning a trip to Nova Scotia or simply want to learn more about this fascinating region, this article is the perfect resource.

Etymology

The name "Nova Scotia" comes from the Latin term "New Scotland" and is indicative of the province's Scottish roots. It was named by Sir William Alexander, a Scotsman who received a land grant in the area in the 1600s. The province's flag, which features the Scottish flag's cross of St. Andrew and a lion rampant, also reflects this heritage. However, the area now known as Nova Scotia has a long history of being inhabited by Indigenous peoples, including the Mi'kmaq, who called the region "Mi'kma'ki". The name "Mi'kma'ki" translates to "the land of the Mi'kmaq" and reflects the longstanding connection Indigenous peoples have had to this land. Throughout its history, the region now known as Nova Scotia has been part of the French and British empires, with both groups leaving their mark on the area. Today, Nova Scotia is a diverse province with a rich history and vibrant culture that is influenced by the many peoples who have called it home over the years.

History

Nova Scotia has a rich and complex history that spans thousands of years. The first people to inhabits the region were the Mi'kmaq, who have lived on the land for over 10,000 years. European colonization of Nova Scotia began in the early 1600s, with the French establishing the first permanent settlement in Port Royal in 1605. The British then arrived in the region, and over the following decades, a bitter struggle for control of the territory ensued. The French and British engaged in several wars and skirmishes, with control of Nova Scotia frequently shifting between the two European powers. In 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht granted control of Nova Scotia to the British, but the French continued to have a significant presence in the region and even established a colony on Cape Breton Island, which remained in French hands until it was handed over to the British in 1763. In the 18th century, Nova Scotia became a destination for Scottish and Irish immigrants, who joined the English settlers in establishing communities throughout the province. The arrival of the Loyalists in the late 1700s sparked a period of rapid growth in Nova Scotia, and the province became an important hub of commerce and trade. In the 19th century, Nova Scotia emerged as a center of the Industrial Revolution in Canada, with coal mining and shipbuilding becoming major industries in the province. The Halifax Explosion of 1917, one of the deadliest man-made disasters in Canadian history, had a profound impact on the province and its people, both then and in the years that followed. Throughout the 20th century, Nova Scotia experienced major economic and social changes. The province's coal mines closed, and new industries such as forestry, fishing, and tourism emerged. Nova Scotia became a center of Canada's naval forces during World War II, and many of the province's young men and women served in the military during the conflict. Today, Nova Scotia is a vibrant and prosperous province, with a rich cultural heritage and a dynamic economy. Its history has left an indelible mark on the province, and visitors to Nova Scotia can see this legacy reflected in its architecture, its museums and galleries, and its people. Early Settlement The first inhabitants of what is now Nova Scotia were the Mi'kmaq people, who have lived in the region for thousands of years. They originally called their home "Mi'kma'ki". They were a semi-nomadic people who relied on hunting, fishing, and gathering for their subsistence. The Mi'kmaq people had a strong connection to the land and sea and they had a deep respect for the natural world around them. The first European contact with the Mi'kmaq people occurred in the late 15th century when John Cabot arrived in the area. However, it wasn't until the early 1600s that Europeans began to establish settlements in the region. In 1604, the French explorer Samuel de Champlain arrived in what is now Nova Scotia and established the first European settlement at Port-Royal. The French also formed relationships with the Mi'kmaq people and engaged in trade with them. In 1710, the British conquered Nova Scotia from the French and established their own settlements in the region. The arrival of the British led to tension and conflict with the Mi'kmaq people, who were concerned about the impact of British settlement on their way of life. Many Mi'kmaq people allied themselves with the French during the numerous wars between Britain and France in the region. the earliest settlements in Nova Scotia were a blend of Mi'kmaq and European cultures. As Europeans established settlements in the region, they encountered and interacted with the Mi'kmaq people. Today, the Mi'kmaq people continue to live in Nova Scotia and have a strong presence in the region, both in terms of their culture and their political representation. European Colonization Nova Scotia has a long and complicated history of colonization by various European powers. The first Europeans to arrive in the area were the French, who established a permanent settlement at Port Royal in 1605. The English, however, were quick to claim the region for themselves, and a series of conflicts between the two powers ensued. In 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht officially ceded Nova Scotia to Britain, and the French were forced to abandon their settlements in the region. The British immediately set about establishing their own settlements and fortifications, and over the next century, the region saw a great deal of economic and population growth. However, the impact of colonization was not exclusively positive. The British and French both engaged in aggressive expansion and displacement of Indigenous populations, leading to significant social and cultural upheavals that continue to be felt in Nova Scotia to this day. Furthermore, Nova Scotia was not immune to the conflicts that defined European politics in the 18th and 19th centuries. During the American Revolution, Nova Scotia became a destination for Loyalist refugees who had fled the United States, leading to an influx of new settlers and a period of rapid growth. However, Nova Scotia's proximity to the United States meant that it was highly vulnerable to American aggression during times of war, and the region saw multiple invasions and skirmishes throughout the 19th century. Despite these challenges, Nova Scotia continued to grow and develop throughout the 20th century, becoming an important center of industry and culture in the Atlantic region. Today, the history of European colonization continues to be a prominent feature of Nova Scotia's social and cultural landscape, with the province's complex heritage serving as a reminder of the importance of cultural preservation and reconciliation. Recent History Nova Scotia has a rich history, and in recent times the province has witnessed some significant events and developments. One of the most notable of these was the 1992 closure of the Sydney Steel plant, which was a major blow to the region's economy. However, in recent years, there have been efforts to revitalize Sydney and attract new investment to the area. In 2014, Port Hawkesbury Paper was faced with bankruptcy, but it managed to stay afloat with the help of the provincial government. This secured the jobs of many residents of the area and helped maintain the region's economy. Nova Scotia has always relied heavily on its fishing industry, but in recent years the sector has faced challenges due to overfishing and changes in the ecosystem. Despite this, there have been efforts to implement more sustainable fishing practices in the province. In 2018, Nova Scotia made history by electing Canada's first black female Member of Parliament, a milestone for diversity and representation in the province's political sphere. the province has seen a rise in immigration in recent years, with many newcomers settling in the urban centers of Halifax and Sydney. In terms of infrastructure, one of Nova Scotia's major developments was the opening of the Halifax Stanfield International Airport in 1960, which has since become a crucial hub for the province's transportation and tourism industries. There have also been improvements to the province's highway system, such as the completion of the twinning of Highway 103 in 2018. More recently, the province has been investing in renewable energy, with the construction of its first tidal energy plant in 2016 and the implementation of wind farms across the province. Nova Scotia has also made strides in addressing its waste management issues, with the adoption of a province-wide ban on single-use plastic bags in 2020. Nova Scotia has faced its fair share of challenges in recent history, but it has also demonstrated resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity. Through innovation and community-building, the province is constantly evolving and positioning itself for a bright future.

20 Indigenous firefighters in N.S. train to battle wildfires

As forest fires continue to burn throughout Canada, forcing evacuations from some First Nations communities, efforts are underway to train more Indigenous firefighters how to battle them.

This year, Natural Resources Canada provided funding in a 2 year pilot project for training programs focusing on Indigenous communities.

Last month, Nova Scotia’s Department of Natural Resources and Renewables, and the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center collaborated with Mi’kmaq communities throughout the province to deliver a new course on forest fire fighting.

Held at the Debert Hospitality Centre, 20 Mi’kmaw trainees spent four days learning during both in-class and hands-on field sessions.

“As a firefighter myself and an advanced care paramedic, I fully understand about the boots on the ground,” says Jennifer Jesty, the emergency resilience manager for the Union of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq in Cape Breton.

When she heard about the course, she jumped at the chance to sign up enough participants to create an all-Indigenous class.

“Thinking about what's happened on the mainland, and that that is a real possibility to happen in Cape Breton, I thought it pretty important to see if we could finally expand the training into our Indigenous fire departments about wildland fire fighting,” she says.

Bill Stevens, a 30-year veteran volunteer member of the fire department on Eskasoni First Nation, took the course alongside his son, a fellow firefighter.

“I learned more with this training, what you've got to look for after a big forest fire,” he says.

The lesson that stuck with him the most? How to dig out hot spots after a forest fire, which often burns so hot, tree roots buried deep in the soil keep burning long after the surface flames are out.

“You have to use tools to look for burn inside the roots and inside the ground,” he explains, “you have to dig them out and make sure everything's out because there's still fire underneath.”

Scott Tingley, forest protection manager with the province’s Department of Natural Resource and Renewables, says it’s all part of efforts to train 1,000 community firefighters across the country.

“It incorporates all the safety information they need to know when they're out on that front line, (and) some the basic science about how fires behave,” he explains, “and then how to use the basic equipment and the basic techniques.”

“It’s very comprehensive,” he says.

Tingley adds the course almost didn’t happen, because of the number of wildfires in Nova Scotia earlier this year, including the devastating fires in both the Halifax and Shelburne County areas, which destroyed homes and forced thousands of people to flee.

But he says it all came together in the end, and says the participants received their certification with a “higher than average score.”

Nova Scotia is one of the first provinces to deliver the new course, which he says will not only prepare Indigenous firefighters for wildfires in their own communities, but across the country if needed.

“It improves the ability to mobilize these crews nationally and that's the whole idea of trying to increase capacity across the country,” Tingley says.

For Jesty, the course has been a key piece in making sure First Nations - like all communities - are ready for any natural disaster.

“There's no such thing as too much training,” she says.
