Holy moly....thank you so much for this. I had not seen it, although I am of an age (66) at which this song contains multitudes. What a tremendous tribute. Makes what's happening now to the Kennedy Center even more of a fucking disgrace.

You know what would actually reduce crime and homelessness?

Universal healthcare, free education, affordable housing and a basic living wage.

When people have their most basic needs met, they have happier and healthier lives.

Those hoarding the wealth don’t want to give us those things.

You completely ignore the fact that Canada cannot "solve the climate crisis." Why? Time is running out, but one country can't solve it. Canada ranks 12th in carbon emissions--what about the other 11 countries? Sorry, you're dreaming.

Do you honestly think Canada can do anything meaningful all by itself at this point? Maintaining a realistic perspective on what Canada can and cannot accomplish is best for Canadians now, as they live in the present and not in the "forever," especially in view of existential U.S. aggression.

I have maintained from the beginning that Vance's cruelty, his obsession with women's reproduction, the makeup fetish, etc., are all rooted in not-so-suppressed gender dysphoria. He is a deeply ill individual, and I cannot imagine what life is like for his children.

Change can happen. Change happens from the ground up. Let’s make it happen.

There's absolutely nothing Canada can do at this point to change the trajectory of climate change on this planet in the absence of international cooperation among the biggest polluters. People, do, however, need to work to feed their families and house themselves. The latter is the priority.

The bond sell-off should commence immediately. Put this entire thing to bed so we can get down to the business of starting over.

'"It’s like a President turning a national park into his summer homeβ€”and, in this case, maybe building a skyscraper there."' Or, perhaps, a President turning the White House into a palace by paving the Rose Garden and adding a gilded ballroom the size of two football fields.

Exactly. Indeed, one might argue that Trump, et al are exploiting the Epstein distraction as cover.

And this is America in a nutshell--solipsistic, oblivious, and ill-informed. Love the casual "can you blame them?" nod at the end, designed to manage the sting of the comments he clearly feels are unjustified.

How dare Tim Houston ruin my child's favourite summer activity: burning down the province of Nova Scotia By: Peggy-Anne MacInnis The Nova Scotia government’s ban on any human activity in the woods is outrageous and likely unconstitutional. It infringes on our god given right to enjoy the beauty of Canada’s majestic scenery. And worst of all, it has totally ruined my little Timmy’s favourite pastime: setting small fires in the woods and […]

Democratic senators with the most votes with Trump this session so far:

Fetterman: 95
Hassan: 93
Shaheen: 90
Warner: 87
Rosen: 82
King: 78
Slotkin: 77

Slotkin is worthless--a showboating windbag who thinks she's god's gift to democracy when in fact she's a grifter and a fraud. A one-termer.

You folks are beyond the "political power" stage & need to be moving on to what happens when the political opposition is inept, impotent, & infirm. Redistricting can't mathematically work when the courts are compromised. There are few options left & none are about wielding conceptual power.

Do you really think "fascism" needs a black uniform, a certain physique, or a menacing glower? Their presence is fascist. Fascism comes in many forms, including dumpy, overweight white men in both ill-fitting suits and dingy t-shirts.

So, put on your journalism hat and come right out and say what's wrong with this take instead of hiding behind a quotation to say something beyond what's written. Coward.
