Proud NB’er. Thank you for your images and words, Michael.
My home province, tiny little New Brunswick, landed in the first wave on Juno Beach as a group. The North Shore Regiment was composed of french and english, woodsmen and farmers, fishermen and labourers, husbands and sons. From June 6th until the end of the war, New Brunswick sacrificed its best for one single cause: democracy. #dday #democracy #northshoreregiment
I just had a very LOL moment doing a CAP: pointing to a question mark asking, “what’s this for”, S asks incredulously “you don’t know what a question mark is?!?!?”
Don’t you think if there was enough research to support the ridiculous notion that there was anything settled about teaching reading, that there would already be no illiteracy or learning disabilities?
One excellent reason…

Incredible. Thank you Mr. Banting for your work, your courage, and your decision not to turn your discovery into a monopolized profit❤️❤️🩹
In 1922, a team of scientists visited Toronto General Hospital, where wards housed numerous diabetic children.
Many of these children were in a comatose state and on the brink of death due to diabetic ketoacidosis.
As a result of the amount of deaths, scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin.
As they commenced injecting the final comatose child, the first one to receive the injection started to regain consciousness.
Subsequently, one by one, all the children emerged from their diabetic comas.
During the early 1920s, Frederick Banting, Charles Best and John Macleod discovered insulin.
Both Banting and Macleod were awarded Nobel Prizes in 1923.
James Collip played a crucial role in refining insulin, which was instrumental in enabling its effective application in diabetes treatment.
Banting declined to have his name included on the patent and opted to sell it to the University of Toronto for a mere $1.
He believed it unethical to seek profit from a discovery destined to save countless lives.
“Insulin belongs to the world, not to me," he said.
In 2019, the average cost was $58 per insulin fill, typically for a 30-day supply.

“No matter the curriculum used, too often, teachers are being asked to stick to a script and execute equal teaching, not equitable teaching. And equal teaching is illegal.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
