The current SCOTUS has been busy undermining U.S. institutions, this article reminds us that a previous critical decision set the table for American Oligarchy.
Over the past decade people have generally accepted Citizens United decision as “settled law”, but it is a cancer destroying the country.

Sitting in a lengthy drive-thru line at McDonalds in Port Elgin. Lots of business here but not a waste pail in sight… the bean counters have banned all garbage costs, even at a busy McD’s!

Bravo for organizers of the “No Kings” demonstrations across America. And for strong voices like @markruffalo.bsky.social
Canada’s constitutional monarch is only a symbolic head of state; it’s a good reminder that kings no longer rule & that the people’s Parliament is supreme.

Mark Carney had a pretty good visit with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show this Monday. I suppose Freeland will make a similar appearance in coming weeks…. Should we now expect that candidates will turn up for chats with Joe Rogan?

Buying a @hisense-ar.bsky.social TV from @amazoncanada.bsky.social is a brutal adventure. Why? Larger items in my are of S Ontario are delivered by CEVA Logistics, & we are instead making junk for the landfill!!

Hope MPs ask why Rogers is gouging rural customers for Wireless Home Internet. Priced like urban services, but it’s capped. Good speeds to 500GB cap, then throttled way back to slow DSL speed & they offer you a pricey “speed pass”. They have capacity if you pay!

King Charles met with David Beckham after snubbing Prince Harry on UK trip because he was ‘too busy’ – The Sun
More evidence of an outdated institution not smart enough to heal an unfortunate family breach.
As a Canadian, this foolish behaviour persuades me that we’d be better off without them.
