“This road only became an issue when the Ontario government … tried to make it into not just a road for Marten Falls to have access south to the highways, but for mining companies to come in and out of the #RingofFire area – to open up the area to mining, because there are no roads to it now.”
This sounds like a fascinating if not dangerous island to visit...
Premier Doug Ford is running out of time to fix his controversial Bill 5 — which fasttracks mines and infrastructure developments — before it ignites a summer of unrest, First Nations leaders warned Monday. #ford #ontario #bill5 #indigenous #firstnations #environment #climate #ringoffire #mining #northerncanada https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/first-nations-warn-doug-ford-to-fix-mining-bill-or-face-backlash/article_19c2792f-56c8-45f8-b630-7fc46c3f856b.html

First Nations leaders in Ontario's Ring of Fire region demand Bill 5 be struck down
First Nations leaders and environmental advocates are continuing to speak out against an Ontario bill aimed at speeding up development. In northern Ontario, home to the lucrative Ring of Fire mineral deposit, the stakes are higher than ever. Here's wha...

Why did they not metion the nationality of the fascist mining companies? They just said foreign.
A new paper states that 44 thousand year old things like ropes and remains of tuna, found on the Philippine's Ilin Island, suggest that the people were skilled seafarers and deep-sea fishers who did not arrive on the islands by happenstance on bamboo rafts but as intentional explorers in actual boats.
Press release by the researchers' university:

Now, given how many known volcanoes there are, wouldn't it be likely that some kind of Philippine Pompeji could be found if one follows clues as to where pre-historic people might have favoured to settle?
Below is a GoogleEarth map of South East Asia, with Smithsonian's locations of #volcano sites https://volcano.si.edu/ge/PlacemarkLinks.cfm
The red marker in the centre-right indicates Ilin Island where the archeologists did their field research.
And if they were so used to fishing, boating, maybe sailing, could they have survived a 17 thousand km trip to South America, too? ^^ With a few stopovers? What would they have done for drinking water on their island hopping?

Fun fact: Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” was actually written by his not-yet-wife June Carter and Merle Kilgore. It was first recorded and released in 1962, by June’s sister, Anita. Johnny’s version was released in 1963.
Johnny’s then-wife, Vivian, maintains that he “wrote that song, while pilled up and drunk, about a certain private female body part.”
Anita’s original:

About 620 million years from now, the Earth will witness its final total solar eclipse.
The moon is slowly moving away from the Earth at about 3.8cm (1.5in) a year, and about 620 million years from now it'll be far enough away that it'll be too small in the sky to block out the sun.
