I’ve seen some folks refer to James Dobson as some coincidental “evil twin” to Fred Rogers, and I would like to clear the record: Dobson was an intentional fundamentalist _reaction_ to Mr. Rogers and his liberal Christian influence on children. It wasn’t an eerie coincidence it was violent rejection

The deeper meaning behind "almost no healthy children die of the measles" is that, when children do die of the measles, it's only ever because they were already ill. And the deeper meaning behind that is "well, we can't save 'em all." And that's just...17th century thinking.

If elected, Poilievre’s government will “put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and federal funds for university research.”
The phrase is almost identical to wording used by the Trump administration.
