The recent news that the Government of China has formally charged Michael Kovrig with espionage is a sad and alarming development in this tragic case of unlawful detention. Michael was on leave from Global Affairs Canada and working for the International Crisis Group when he was arrested on December 10, 2018. 

My dad, Dave Gordon, painted this portrait of Michael for me to honour my friend and colleague. I have a deep sense of grief when I think about his situation and I hope for his release. Read more about Michael's case and my friendship with him here.

Not sure what kind of falcon this is, but friends have suggested it is a Sakr or Oqab falcon, which is common in the Gulf. It stopped by for a visit last week.

Canada is situated on the traditional territory of First Nation, Inuit and Métis peoples from coast to coast to coast. 

​I was born in London, Ontario, which is on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Lenape, Attawandaron and Huron-Wendat peoples, at the forks of Deshkan Ziibi (Antler River), an area subject to the Dish with One Spoon Wampum and other treaties.
