Capitalism breeds innovation?
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars.

The Globe Ed board wants you to be a wage slave to your corporate landlord.
The only thing that has rapidly boosted cheap housing in Canada's history has been public intervention. And yet they ignore this detail to advocate for even more corporate profits.

Well that's interesting. The CIA crushed radical student organizing in the US and so it's largely not had a national student fédération, unlike in Canada. I was around for the USSA's last resurgence. Could not be more important today.
More than a hundred students from nineteen states, meeting in Washington, DC, just voted to re-establish the United States Student Association, first founded in 1947.

Under Trudeau, Canadians are wealthier than we were in 2015
David Olive: Say what you want about Justin Trudeau — there’s still no arguing Canadians became wealthier while he was in power
In the Trudeau years, Canada’s economy grew by 41%, to $3.2 trillion. It grew by 18% under Stephen Harper, who governed for roughly the same amount of time.
