This is neat. Bashir Mohamed's 2018 Sprawl article about Charles Daniels being denied his seat at the Grand Theatre has led to a permanent memorial honouring his legacy. Less neat: "The rhetoric of today resembles the rhetoric of those years."

Being multilingual is suppose to help decode democracy for a multicultural city and not to encode messages for specific parts of it 3/3

When Danielle Smith claimed 80% of federally picked judges had donated to Liberals, that was way higher than any figure I'd researched.
I dug into it. Could confidently write here:
"It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it."

On Feb 5, the Senate recognized May 10 as Bear Witness Day. We thank Senator Brian Francis for advancing this motion. It reinforces the call for Canada to fully implement Jordan’s Principle so First Nations children receive the services they need, when they need them.

Danielle Smith shared a wildly inaccurate claim on federally appointed judges’ Liberal ties. But that also raised the question: what about the judges UCP gov’t picks for Alberta.

It was only a matter of time before poor budgeting choices and corruption while systematically denying the realities of the economy caused the ruling party of [insert country/state/province here] to place the blame on foreigners.
