I know that I’m a Canadian and the ICE kidnappings are supposed to be “not my problem” because they are happening in another country but I could not help but cry when considering all the suffering.

Watching the speech tonight by Zohran Mamdani reminded me how incredibly boring the federal leadership race is for the NDP. I can’t even be bothered to decide who to vote for and don’t tell me it’s because we’re underdogs.

Ladies, you can tell a lot about a man by the way dogs react to him. For instance, if the Police K9 is biting him, he may not be the one.

Watching One Battle After Another - this is a must see movie in the theater. I don’t know if I’ve ever watched an American/Hollywood movie with this feel or this message. It’s making me consider my own choices as a socialist and an activist. I’m not even sure if I can describe it.

Is the Wall Street Journal going to issue an apology for their headline this morning that turned out to be completely false conflating Tyler Robinson with the Transgender movement? This comment, scratched on the spent shell casing has nothing to do with being Transgender.
