"These 15 medics and first responders were heroes. They ran towards danger. They served their people. They believed in the sanctity of life, even in a place where life is constantly under siege. Their memory should be sacred."

Canada elected a guy with a PhD in economics from Oxford. Mexico chose a woman with a degree in physics and a PhD in energy engineering.

The U.S. handed the job to a deranged, carnival-barking senile citizen, with multiple felonies and six bankruptcies under his belt.

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately".

He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting.

Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

I spoke to Globe and Mail labour reporter Vanmala Subramaniam about Amazon’s sleazy and illegal decision to terminate hundreds of employees to block their right to collective bargaining.

Vanmala left out most of my choice words for these horrible American companies.
