It's amazing to think that all of these boxes will be full by the end of this weekend thanks to the marvellous generosity of Londoners. Special thanks to Business Cares and the hundreds of volunteers making it allo possible. Given these challenging times, it's appreciated more than you know.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

On paper, Canada’s economy is growing. In reality, high household debt—mostly mortgages—is siphoning a big portion of our incomes to banks and landlords. GDP might be rising, but most Canadians are stuck just making ends meet.

New MMI episode! We look at the collapse of new housing and pre-construction sales. Importantly:

- It's not just happening in Toronto - it's all across S. Ontario.

- It's not just the condo market - it's all ownership housing.

"Our brains are not wired to comprehend presidential corruption on this scale." WHAT?! WHAT?! of course our brains are equipped to handle it! The auestion is is are American brains equipped to handle and stop corruption and facisism ? i dont think they are #weak #trump #facist #excuse
Our brains are not wired to comprehend presidential corruption on this scale. Nor is our government, I fear, equipped to address a financial scandal as enormous as the one.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

When a nation as wealthy as Canada permits children to go hungry, it is not just a policy failure but a moral alarm bell. The hunger of the young is the first sign that the social contract is fraying at its most sacred edge. In London, 1 out of 4 kids is now food insecure.

Edmonton Public Schools has decided that Margaret Atwood is too dangerous for youth to read.
As is Brave New World.
1984 is banned by Grade 9s and younger.
This is the MAGA machine of Danielle Smith in action.
