Australia’s infrastructure review: A cautionary tale for Canada

Une vingtaine d’enfants de toutes origines entourent et enlacent le gouverneur du Minnesota, Tim Walz, assis à une table. Quelques adultes sont présents sur la photo. À l’arrière, on peut voir sur un mur de grandes photos de fruits et de légumes.

Lessons from Minnesota’s progressive turn under Tim Walz

Trudeau enters a room in a daycare, with Furey behind him, passing through the doorway. The walls are bright orange and covered with stickers depicting pastel-coloured balloons and ice-cream cones with the dates of birthdays of the children written on the scoops of ice cream. Letters on the wall spell out “birthdays are sweet.” Other papers taped to the wall show the alphabet and numbers. Low shelves hold markers, crayons and other drawing supplies. The two men are smiling, and both wear dark pants, a white shirt and red ties.

Trois affiches sont visibles sur un poteau qui s’élève en bordure d’une route pavée. Celle du haut invite à circuler à basse vitesse en raison de la présence possible d’enfants, celle du milieu signale que les lieux sont une propriété privée de la nation Squamish et la dernière, plus grande, recommande aux gens de s’isoler chez eux ou, à défaut, de maintenir une distanciation sociale. Un filet de basket-ball est visible derrière les panneaux et l’on aperçoit un village en arrière-plan.
