Nenshi is no longer the mayor of Calgary. He's currently the leader of the province of Alberta's New Democratic Party.

Every morning I wake up and check the news to see if the world is a better place. I wonder if I have enough mornings left.

John Adams said, β€œDemocracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”

How nice it would be to prove Adams wrong.

Lee was a nepo baby who owed his career to Goodman. When Goodman sold the company and expected his son Chip to become the publisher, Lee convinced the new owners to give him the job instead. So much for Lee's gratitude to the Goodman family.

Maybe list what you’re looking for in case someone has the material.

β€˜Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

β€œHistory is best told as a story of organised crime,” [Dr. Luke] Kemp says. β€œIt is one group creating a monopoly on resources through the use of violence over a certain territory and population.”

Why does a billionaire need a tax break? The same reason an addict needs a fix. Why are we being forced to be enablers?

I agree. The NDP could use someone with a national profile who is a fighter. You fit the description.

Why is it the NY Times comes out with this and not any Canadian media, when anyone who is conscious knows that the Therme deal smelled?

I prefer some sort of proportional representation. It means a voter's first choice always contributes to the make-up of the government. Ranked ballots are better than what we have, but would still not guarantee your first choice.

Good luck to you, Michael. You are definitely one of the good ones and I wish you nothing but success.

This brings to mind two book titles: The Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight and A Confederacy of Dunces.

The story is worth reading not only for what happened to Burke but because it summarizes other cases of tourist detention.

A simple question: If Oswald acted alone,why did the U.S. government classify documents for over 60 years?

It’s not wild. They paid better, so attracted better artists. It was the dream of many comic book artists to break into the slicks, so called due to better paper stock.
