Laurentian University’s financial collapse was a warning. Instead of intervening, Doug Ford’s government let the crisis worsen, slashing jobs and reducing program quality. Is this the future for Ontario’s universities? thewalrus.ca/inside-doug-ford...

Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich.

This applies equally to our situation in Canada but this prefaces an article I am sharing from Rebecca Solnit about the U.S.
