Since A Simple Carpenter by Dave Margoshes appeared on scene a little over a year ago, I’ve been telling anyone who will listen about how extraordinary it isβ€”and I’m thrilled to get to share it with listeners at The New Books Network.

It works cause citizens don’t feel like they can stop it.

A general strike … mass protests … show em people still have power in numbers.

Or don’t … I dunno. I’d be in the streets seething if it was my country.

It’s horrifying and only Americans can fix it.

So get at it.

The Coming Canadian Storm: MAGA'S Next Move "It is with humility and appreciation that I accept Damien Kurek's offer to resign his seat…" β€” Pierre Poilievre, three days after losing the 2025 federal election

The election is over but the MAGA onslaught against Prime Minister Carney and Canadian unity has only just started.
In the gangster world of Putin, Trump and trolls, Canada is a threat because we are a democratic nation.
My reflection on the coming storm.

Fluoridation Reconsideration Coming May 2 β€” Queen City Improvement Bureau I could smell this coming… Ward 10 councillor Clark Bezo has a motion coming to reverse the decision to include water fluoridation in the Buffalo Pound water plant upgrade. The motion is to be deba...

Clr Bezo's RFKjr-esque anti-fluoride motion will take up an entire day of city hall's time this Thursday starting at 9am. I wrote a thing about it for the QCIB blog which I repost now mainly b/c I liked how the graphics turned out.

Spotted on reddit… Spadina Strategies conducted a poll in Regina in April on whether folks want fluoride in their drinking water. 52% DO want fluoridated water while only 31% do not. #yqrcc

Any country which borders a European country can joint the EU. Canada meets that criteria.

Gimme some euros.

Stop expecting them to make good faith arguments. They don't.

Stop expecting them to be persuaded by logic and good arguments. They won't.

Stop expecting them to obey the law. They won't.

This is a fucking street fight; not a trial. If you don't get that by now, get out of the way.
