'I hope this becomes a lasting tradition.' Dodgers fans ease Blue Jays' World Series loss with $30,000 in donations to SickKids — Toronto Star Many fans donated $51 as a tribute to Blue Jays relievers, who put the number on their caps to pay respects to L.A. pitcher Alex Vesia, who missed the World Series due to a serious family matter.

In this ugly world we’re all trying to navigate this is a nice bright light in a very dark tunnel.

Postmedia—one of Canada’s largest media companies—is controlled by U.S. hedge fund Chatham Asset Management, putting much of Canadian news under foreign influence.

Foreign ownership means U.S. priorities shaping stories instead of Canadian values.

I did find it odd that in Pakman's video, the ETA hinge all their work on an unassociated 3rd party's significant research, then seem to gloss over his details.

If this goose chase only leads to confirming the accuracy of the tabulation machines, that can't be bad I guess?

Graphs compare statistical ‘election integrity red flags’ present in USA Election 2024 machine count precincts and are compared to elections with known election tampering in Russia and Uganda. These anomalies were absent where ballots were hand counted.

I'd like to know where this leads... and I'd also like to know why this forensic statistical analysis doesn't have more resources behind it. I mean, the future of modern democracy rests on this investigation's findings.

WGN-TV producer hires attorney to ‘pursue all legal avenues’ after ICE detention Debbie Brockman and her legal team “adamantly deny” allegations that she assaulted federal officers during an immigration enforcement action.

Debbie Brockman of WGN in Chicago has hired an attorney and plans to fight back against her unlawful arrest and detention by ICE.

Freedom of the press is under attack.

Tackling and arresting journalists is another step towards state run media.

Bring on the lawsuits.

This is significant.

"Therefore, suggesting that the Nazis were socialists was Nazi propaganda created directly by Hitler. Spreading this lie is spreading Hitler's propaganda 80 years after his death." - Abe Oudshoorn

"Socialism was not the goal, not the process, and not the reality. "Socialist" was propaganda and every historian ever since has clearly explained this."

"This was an intentional lie, deliberate propaganda, to hide their solely far-right, hyper-nationalist, fascist agenda to seize complete power and actually enrich themselves and their wealthy, property- and business-owning friends.

"...it is crucial to note that Hitler chose a party name of national socialists to deceive the general public, in particular the working class, to grow the base and strength of the Nazi Party.

A Canadian politician is openly spreading Nazi propaganda Do you ever see something that is absolutely horrifying, the implications of which are terrible, and no one else seems to really notice? These two tweets are one of those things for me: Anyone with a...
