While it is easy to be intimidated by the largeness of life, seduced by lethargy, diverted by popular culture, and assimilated into collective fantasies that have little to do with our soul’s agenda, we still have to face ourselves in the end.~James Hollis

When you strip away humanity

Being listened to, and being with somebody who takes genuine pleasure in listening, is really powerful. It really has an effect. It isn’t a “cure”, but if it was a “cure”– it’s a listening cure, not a talking cure. It’s amazing what people will say if they think they’re being listened to.~Rod Tweedy

As Trump cancels today’s #Juneteenth commemoration as part of his war on DEI and some USA companies move away from their sponsorships of events - smart Canadian companies know that embracing inclusion, equity thought diversity is a strength and competitive advantage #CanadaSky 🇨🇦

Exactly!!

I RAGE on upcoming OShow with former premier Kathleen Wynne about this self enrichment when Ford is claiming Ontario is in such an economic crisis he needs to bypass the First Nations to rush through #Bill5 to create economic zones!

He cannot suck and blow at same time #onpoli #Bill5

800% INCREASE IN THREATS TO POLITICIANS SINCE POILIEVRE BECAME LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION. It time for him to go. #resign

“So Poilievre the ‘man of the people’ is costing taxpayers 2 MILLION for a by-election because he was beaten by Bruce Fanjoy and he’s squatting in Stornaway at our expense? Poilievre is pathetic!”

As you listen to the hatred, propaganda coming out of the Poilievre camp about the PM’s cabinet picks, remember.
Each one of those Ministers WON their seat. Something Poilievre FAILED at. So who is more qualified? #cdnpoli

❤️❤️❤️

🇨🇦 PM Carney has a way with words. #CanadaStrong 🍁

Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦
"Large American online platforms have become seas of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, Islamophobia and hate in all its forms ... My government will act." #cdnpoli

Carney is gonna be a different kind of liberal. A capitalist socially conscious and progressive one with a strong fiscal and investment focus on building the country up and away from USA. Based on values and financial skills. There’s gonna be few if any to compare. A leader for the times #Cdnpoli

Forests, Trees and Democracy A quarter-century ago, when the United States was attacked by Islamist terrorists on 11 September 2001, the editor of Le Monde wrote a famous banner headline: ‘We are all Americans!’

The world watched Canada's election closely. We are on the front lines of the fight to defend the rule of law.
Our nation needs to step up for the big picture and not squander this moment with squabbles and partisan turf wars.
Here is my latest reflection.

"Canada has what everyone wants. We're a confident nation that celebrates our diversity, that believes in and practices free speech, that respects the rule of law, that has a vibrant democracy," Carney said.

I spoke with UN Secretary-General António Guterres today. In this time of rising conflict, Canada is ready to lead.

We will build coalitions, defend democracy, and stand up for our values on the world stage. As others step back from global leadership, Canada is stepping up.

Image shows Pierre Poilievre riding result: defeated

lol holy fuck.

He’s held that riding for more than two decades. No way he can cling to the leadership after this.

Canada, if you really want to put Poilievre and his alt-right populism to bed for good, give the Liberals a win and make it a majority. If Liberals win a minority, he’ll stick around, disrupt our country with havoc and we’ll be in another tiring election in less than a year.

It would be nice to meet you some day and shake your hand kind sir. Thank you for your leadership and for always standing up for Canada. My very best to you.

You know. I’ve pretty much spent the entire weekend reading lovely messages about Pope Francis.

He sure was loved.

The way to honor Pope Francis is to continue his fight for social justice — and to make sure that the values he instilled in us are reflected in our politics and the leaders we choose to represent us.

It's time for change!
We can't afford an eighth Poilievre term in parliament!
#cdnpoli

This is horrifying and heartbreaking. Sending so much love to the Filipino community right now. I can’t imagine how you’re feeling.

You deserve to feel safe celebrating your culture. This is devastating. 💔

Chopra: Either we jumpstart into a new mindset and become the change we want to see in the world—or we continue walking toward extinction.

So maybe, nature might say to itself: “The human species was an interesting experiment in evolution. It didn’t work. Let’s try something else.”

Why is this not surprising?

This is such a disturbing article. Families in chains and deplorable conditions on planes run by start-up companies looking to make money on the misery of others.

How stupid does this man think Canadians are?

I'll admit it. I love Jesus.
I just don't like any of his so-called friends.
I was raised on a gospel that said we must help the poor, feed the hungry and fight for those in prison.
When I see a politician playing the religion card I know people are about to be fleeced.
I don't trust any of them.
