Saleh was a man of pure emotion & humanity. For the past 2 years, we could see and feel everything he felt. He connected to everyone around him and to those on the other side of his screen safe in our homes. With all the horror in Gaza the past 2 years, losing him too is shattering. #freepalestine

I remember the first time I encountered this anti-intellectual attitude in rural Ontario (Grey-Bruce county) around 15 years ago. I was so thrown by it. But I came to understand that it goes hand-in-hand with right wing ideology because data far too easily obliterates everything they stand on.

Trudeau’s response to Trump’s tariffs. I was at a specialist appointment here in Barcelona today. My specialist is Cuban. As soon as she heard that I’m Canadian she had to talk about this. Ohh the things we could discuss about the USA!

What I wish people understood about capitalism. Its biggest proponents, who don’t believe in evolution, often cite “survival of the fittest” while not understanding that by “fittest” they mean privileged, ruthless, and exploitative.
