One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

The Director of the FBI is openly lying to the American public about Canada being a major source of fentanyl. In the first three months of 2025, a grand total of 1.35 lbs of fentanyl was seized by border officials at our border with Canada — 0.06% of total seizures.

In 2018, I asked Gregor Robertson four times if he bore any responsibility for Vancouver's housing crisis after being mayor for a decade. Four times, he said no. I wonder if he'll feel any responsibility going forward. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

"If this question is worth asking, then ask it. And if it’s not, say so, and stop using it as rhetorical currency." Excellent column. Time for this 'leader' to put up or shut up. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

In four months in 2021, the Canucks just gave away two guys who are now playing important playoff roles for Stanley Cup contenders. (This was shortly after fans had asked Aquilini via airplane banner, to #FireBenning, which he refused to do.)

A disturbing anecdote from a friend who went to Hawaii at spring break. Her 17-year-old clean cut son was subjected to a seriously intrusive — hands on privates — search by US airport security coming and going. Husband and many other men got same treatment on the way home.
