George Everett Klippert spent years of his life in jail and was labelled as a dangerous offender for the crime of being gay.
His case led to the decriminalization of homosexuality in Canada but he still remained behind bars.
This is his story.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose.

Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

Canada should now do what many have suggested to hit back against the US with non-tariff measures: jailbreak all American tech and stop enforcing US copyright in Canada.
