Article is easily long enough and new enough. Image is suitably licensed. Hook is reliably cited and I suppose hooky enough. The ALT1 hook might do as well, perhaps it's more fun. The sources are fine. Ref #2 can be found at https://www.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.82658/1?r=0&s=1; Ref #3 can be found at https://journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/GC/article/view/18964 and it'd be as well to add these links to the article.
