As always, Sandy and Nora have a much more sophisticated response to Carney’s wishy-washiness than mine, which is consistently, β€œWhat the actual fuck?”

Schrodinger's Cancer When I see people, there is an inevitable question that often, they’re too afraid to ask.

"I don’t hesistate to share what’s on my mind when asked (or looked at) and I dont mind the questions. I imagine that others do, so I get that people struggle to talk about this in a way that isn’t weird." @nolore.bsky.social

The article shows that this path actually leads to greater integration into the US. But ok.

'β€œIf you’re ballooning a military budget, that’s a choice to steal those funds from health care, housing, public services β€” from the things that actually guarantee the security and health of people from across this country,” says Small.'

Critics Slam Carney’s Plan to Jump-Start Canada’s Economy via Military Industry Canada’s prime minister faces blowback for his plan to hike Canadian arms companies’ profits by 240 percent in 10 years.

In my latest for @truthout.org I ask the question that nearly no journalists in Canada are asking: why on earth would we pour tremendous resources into building up our military given crumbling social conditions?

Here is my latest -- probably only of a few (fewer probably than 5!) news pieces that is critical of the federal government's military spending bonanza.

My grandparents loved Dief so much that they took a roadtrip there, just to add to your pile of contradictions! I once fled a fire and ended up in PA at 5 am at a Denny's.

PA might be closest to Timmins by that measure, but I never really got a Timmins vibe in PA. I don't think a city in Eastern Canada comes close to that though. Maybe Sept-Isle?

Yes, I was between Guelph and Peterborough. I think that the river influence is stronger in Peterborough (rather than having the grand Grand alone). And I also thought that the downtown was more Peterboroughesque.

Palestinians are the most surveilled and tracked people on earth. The numbers from Gaza's health ministry have been independently verified many times over.

If you dont believe the impossible number of 50,000 dead in a few days in Iran, you hate Jews.

In the past six weeks, I wrote two magazine features and two news articles and started my next book and a bunch of blog posts (and, you know, did the work that actually pays me). Everything but the book has been put to bed and that feeling cannot be beat.
