If you have morals, scruples, how is it possible to meet in the middle on issues where one side doesn't accept that some groups of people are human beings or are lesser human beings?
That's my starting point. We can have a discussion only if you understand this statement.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

We did not, in fact, make the right choice by panic voting Liberal in every riding. That handed at least 8 seats to the Conservatives over incumbent NDP or Green. So now we have a parliament of conservatives and farther right conservatives.
Time to put our eyes back on the juggling balls here at home, fellow Canadians.
We made the right choice with Carney, I know, but pragmatic business decisions need to keep aligned to our values.

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.
The House is voting on it today.

It’s funny in Canadian politics that most all of our social safety net in Canada was created by the NDP. Both the liberals and conservatives were dead set against it. Now it seems we are fighting like hell again to save a social safety net we all enjoy. Go figure. An upside down world we live in

Last week, while attending a meeting to help me find financial aid for housing, I threatened suicide because they said they don't help people over the age of 65.
I was handcuffed and carted off to the hospital, where I have been housed since.
