The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

All my life I have appreciated the pain and the relief of dawning conciousness, which art can sometimes provoke. Thank you Ai Weiwei. Art costs a great deal in human terms, especially for the artist.

I don't doubt that there are Many of Trump supporters in rural Canada. 20%, 30% is a lot! Is that in every community, everywhere in rural Canada, in all those elections? But her claim is that in every rural community in every part of Canada, in 2016, 2020 and 2024... a pluraΔΊity in every case.

Cecil, can you please point to a reputable source supporting your claim that all of rural Canada would have voted for Trump in each of the elections he contended in? This would change my mind about some things.

One unexpected consequence of this research may be that we may find new ways to signal directly to the brain stem of crocodillian humans like Trump. Apologies if that offends alligators.

We’re losing the farmland that feeds us at an unsustainable rate. The bill MPP Brady and I put forward would permanently protect our farmland to ensure that hundreds of years from now Ontarians can still rely on Ontario food and farmers to feed us.

Now is the time to protect our farmland.

Doesn't the world in June 2025 needs a new Planetary Compact? One in which membership confers near-immediate significant economic, health and security benefits. Making aggression immediately costly. If freed from USA hegemony, could it be initiated by Canada/South Africa/Brasil/France/and ? in Asia?

The G7 backed Ukraine.
Trump blocked the joint statement.
He flew home early, called Putin, and demanded Iran surrender.

This isn’t neutrality.
It’s a pivot - away from allies, toward power.
And the world sees it.

the horrors of this genocide are beyond what words can hold..but among its many impacts is the erosion of my faith in humanity. but seeing kids create art rooted in empathy + resistance, with a teacher guiding them - has offered a small but powerful glimmer of hope. i am sincerely touched.

Very very disappointing. Why is he going this route? I hoped Carney was sincere when he so recently declared Canada would take up the mantle of champion for the international rules-based order.

Susanna, my father was born Cologne in 1928 and left it with his family after his best friend's father, the Jewish MD living next door, was taken away as he watched, never to be seen again. That was in 1934. Dad dedicated his life to justice.

@boldnewme.bsky.social reports Bonhoeffer said stupidity is a greater enemy than malice because it can not be reasoned with. My my German-born father and Canadian superior court judge was a great admirer of him. I will have to find this 2024 film centered on his part in the plot to stop Hitler.

As a physician and long-time advocate for equitable care, I know firsthand how urgently we need to strengthen our public health care system. In Ottawa, I will be a voice for Guelph - for our extraordinary health care workers, and for every patient who’s been left behind by the cracks in the system.

DOGE claims to have found billions of dollars in fraud yet not one criminal charge has been filed against anyone, just mass firings of federal employees.

Which means they’ve been wasting millions of dollars finding absolutely nothing on purpose. The fraud is DOGE.
