I have three heretical thoughts about the Economist:

- Time spent reading in tge Economist is mostly wasted
- the Economist is a terrible gift. Don't give subscriptions.
- There are vastly more interesting things to put on living-room shelves than the Economist

Come at me! Add to the list!

In the news, it feels like the fascist regime wants to minimize our Canadian uniqueness.

When will the UK wake up to the threat that is Farage?

He should have been arrested on charges of sedition years ago.

The UK is making the same mistake with Farage the US made with tRUmp - not holding him accountable and allowing him free reign to spread his poison.
