This is a no-brainer: a Granny who wants to volunteer at a school lunch program has to get a security clearance. And yet Pierre Poilievre who lives in a 19-room mansion funded by the taxpayer refuses or can't get a security clearance. Something stinks here. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Pierre Poilievre is leaning heavily into rage and disinformation. His interview with Jordan Peterson speaks volumes about where he will take the politics of our nation. I was once targeted by Jordan Peterson and the death threats I faced went off the charts. www.thestar.com/opinion/deat...

Factory farming inflicts unimaginable suffering on pigs and other animals, confining them in cruel, filthy conditions for profit. It’s an unethical system harming animals, humans, and the planet. Compassion demands we end this cruelty. 🌱

Nonvegan language reveals the blatant lies that speciesist culture hides behind. Beings just as innocent and sentient as children are referred to as objects (impersonal pronoun, “it”) and are legally chattel slaves. There’s never been a bigger moral blind spot. Be vegan.

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

O sea, o blue whale, the others are dead. White ash fills a damned sky. Stubborn mussels cling to slippery dank weed, trailing. A belch of fetid sardines rolls in on a sick tide. Come close, let us build a #home under an arc of bones. Come closer, let us build a garden on the shore. #vss365 #writer

#vegan Every meal is a chance to stand up for compassion. Choose kindness, not cruelty, and let your plate reflect the world you want to see.
