If by WOKE you mean empathetic, compassionate, concerned for those who are vulnerable particularly as a result of racism, sexism, religious bigotry, then I must confess that I am not yet completely WOKE, but I am trying my best to get there.

This spineless statement fills me with shame as a Canadian. Condemn Maduro but not Trump? Exactly how are we “standing with the people of Venezuela”?

The invasion of Venezuela is bandit politics. It is also a direct attack on international law.

The House of Commons UNANIMOUSLY passed the oil tanker moratorium in northwest B.C. in 1972 because they knew how sensitive the coast is and how dangerous the waters are. An oil spill there will be catastrophic. Economic development is one thing - being reckless and short-sighted quite another.

More than half the time, the Ontario labour minister’s office overrode the opinions of non-partisan staff to dole out around $750 million in grants to a multi-billion-dollar job training fund, according to the province’s Auditor General’s report released Wednesday.

Yes. More please.
Canada has taken a powerful first step in addressing the deliberate mass starvation in Gaza.
I encourage the government to accelerate to full out air drops with Canadian forces.
Canada was on the front line in the Rwanda genocide.
Our soldiers were there in Yugoslavia.
We need to be there for Gaza.
