Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos by far. He understands the situation with clarity while others prevaricate, appease, and send late-night β€œDear Donald” texts or call him β€œdaddy.”

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

This isn't satire. This is a real headline published in the UK.

The price of belonging is inconvenience. Are we still willing to pay it? Every time we choose people over convenience, we invest in community. The real question in our homes, workplaces and democracies is whether we are willing to pay that price.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

So the theme of today's show was pretty much, "everything is broken."
Education, drug treatment, mental health treatment, early childhood education and daycare, crime prevention, the workplace - Canada Post, BCGEU, Nurses Union negotiations - it's all pretty much a mess.
Have a great day!

CUPE has a message for Mark Carney, Patty Hajdu and the Liberal government: You have seriously understimated our strength, our determination. You have picked a fight with the wrong union, the wrong workers, and you have definitely picked a fight with the wrong women. #unfairCanada #UnpaidWorkWontFly
