A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

The City of Montreal should be ashamed of its handling of the homelessness crisis If the City of Montreal wants to house the homeless — and it should — it needs to be leading the development.

“If the City of Montreal wants to house the homeless — and it should — it needs to be leading the development. We can’t depend on the private sector, and tolerating homelessness is far more expensive than fixing the problem. Montreal needs to stop accepting homelessness as inevitable.”

A View looking towards the sky while standing in the middle of a pine forest of trees.

My final day in the Forest of Dean. The forest is a connected community. Underneath these trees and looking towards the sky, many lessons for humans and humanity in how we need to be more like trees.

Sign the Petition Remove Pete Hoekstra as US ambassador to Canada. Let's send Pete Packing!

c.org/X2bsNMFmkw I am deeply troubled by presence of Pete Hoekstra as US ambassador to our great country. This is more than just a diplomatic position—it’s a role that requires respect, tact & understanding of our shared history and values. Hoekstra demonstrates NONE of these qualities.

arriving at Restorative Justice, where the State incorporates a compassionate perspective that abandons violence, perceiving deprivation of liberty as a means to enable people to rectify their actions, achieve rehabilitation, reparation for victims, & later reintegration into collective life.

Humanity's Collective Consciousness has evolved through different notions of Justice, from considering war, violence & death as legitimate forms, then progressing towards Retaliatory Justice, in which the State arrogates to itself the right to administer violence through different means; finally

We can respect and leave the choice of religious or spiritual practices to the private sphere of each human being, but as Humanity we must agree on an Ethic, a set of minimum Principles and Values ​​that will guide our collective path, Human Development, and our Well-being...

I can’t agree with you more on this.
I feel like the internet is the single greatest contributing factor to this.
I believe that as a society we will continue being forced into these “targeted demographic compartmentalization bubbles” until we unplug from this online hype machine.
