Sincerely love that the chuds think this is all based on folks in Minnesota reading the works of Uncle Ho, rather than being built on the same social structures that organize the annual spaghetti fundraiser

Me my whole life: Nothing is black and white. You have to consider nuance

Now: We face a heinous, remorseless evil

CODCO - Wikipedia

not niche in Newfoundland, because it was subversive as hell and groundbreaking for our cultural identity, but profoundly niche outside of it (despite making huge impacts in Canadian media) - CODCO

Exactly so.
I know a lot of folks in Newfoundland (and beyond, no doubt) would benefit from reading this, as well.

I am feeling the same way about fish farms on the southwest coast of Newfoundland, pushing expansion into new areas while existing farms have mass die-offs over and over and over.
Community pays for it whether it happens or not. There's no undoing the environmental or social mess, and for what?

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately.

Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived.

They are demanding action from Mark Carney.

Their testimony is our failure.

I'm telling myself that it'll be a recount regardless, and I should just quit while I'm ahead, because I just considered a scenario for a millisecond that has left Seagulls (stop it now) stuck in my head for the forseeable and I am trying not to wake my spouse
