My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house" The practice, an expert warns, could lead to "reprisals and retribution by the police for your politics.”

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house."

The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.

It also received $22M in federal aid.

Two market meltdowns.
One common denominator.

Since Canada annually imports more than $970 million worth of alcoholic beverages from the USA, should all US booze be immediately removed from liquor store shelves across Canada?

Defending The Truth About Jan 6th We must be relentless and never ceasing to fight the lies

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:

Under oath in the foreign influence commission Prime Minister Trudeau revealed to us that Jordan Peterson is funded by the Russian government and now the leader of the opposition is interviewing with him:

There has been a *fascinating* rules-for-thee-but-not-for-me discourse over in the Other Place all weekend, as there is no low that the Conservatives won't stoop to, including insinuating that Trudeau is a sex predator, but Marc Miller calling Poilievre a "greasy walrus" is somehow beyond the pale.

Death threats, Jordan Peterson and me: My journey into the world of Pitchfork Politics Some on the far right are using the language of violence to intimidate people. Here’s what we should do, says NDP MP Charlie Angus.

Pierre Poilievre is leaning heavily into rage and disinformation.
His interview with Jordan Peterson speaks volumes about where he will take the politics of our nation.
I was once targeted by Jordan Peterson and the death threats I faced went off the charts.
