Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

The fact that MP Vince Gasparro, who is Parliamentary Secretary for Combating Crime, announced this “in a video posted to his X account on Friday” is probably fine, right?

it is not civil when an evil person says evil things in a calm tone of voice.
conversely, it is not uncivil when a good person uses curse words to denounce evil things at the top of their voice.
it is evil to pretend not to understand this.

Wonderful! Thanks for this remembrance of an important show.
It’s Saturday, a day when I like to coast into the evening by… mourning the loss of Hot Air.
CBC’s longest running show quietly disappeared in 2023 after a tremendous 75-year run.
Here’s my attempt at giving it the send off it deserved, for @thetyee.ca.
