@andyrichter.co on CBC’s Day 6 saying “I’d accepted my limitations more so than the possibilities,” really struck a chord. We all fall into that. Whether due to age, illness, disability or any other reality. I was so small after almost dying in 2022. I’m only starting to realize I didn’t die.

The Polytechnique massacre wasn't just a mass shooting — it was a mass femicide. The gunman explicitly targeted women and blamed feminists for the troubles in his life. We must fight like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

“Canada’s left-leaning political parties and politicians must recognize that the only ones holding them back are themselves. There’s now officially no excuse — bold campaigns will win the day. As for Montreal, we can never sit out an election again: just like the rent, the stakes are too damn high.”

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
