I am now a train commuter. It's so much easier to pay attention to podcasts not having to focus on the chaos of the road.
I'm going to start sharing episodes with my BS followers (...that doesn't sound good, but I'm keeping it) because maybe you'll like them too!

Everyone's talking about BC's "spending problem" but here's what they're not telling you: we're spending the SAME share of GDP as 1998, but collecting far less revenue. BC's deficit isn't about overspending. My analysis: vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

Opinion: B.C. has a revenue problem, not a spending problem
Experience from early 2000s shows that underfunding public services and failing to address poverty leads to higher economic and social costs

As the data shows, the claim that federal agencies favor “left-wing,” “progressive,” or “woke” research projects is but a myth circulated by misinformed conservatives. If anything, SSHRC actually needs to fund more projects about social inequalities and injustice.

One of the most powerful forces in politics is the urge to destroy that from which you are excluded. This is why, in the highly unequal US, support for Trump holds up even as he trashes everything that makes a good society. Equality is key to preventing fascism.
