If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Hey world-do you REALLY want to come here for World Cup and put money into pockets of a Nazi regime? Boycott,
like you would have done for Berlin in 1936.
Cancel your trips to Disney and other US vacation spots.
Please, stay home. It's a safer and more moral thing to do.

"Once more, let me remind you what fascism is. I need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege."  (Tommy Douglas)

I refuse to travel to the United States. I won't spend a single penny in that country.

But I'll tell you this much - when Trump dies, my first trip will be to visit his grave site.

Hopefully there aren't cameras.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.

One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.

The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Manitoba wildfire review consisted of โ€˜meeting notes and verbal discussionโ€™ but no written reports: documents | CBC News After one of the worst wildfire seasons in Manitoba, CBC News has learned an internal wildfire response review conducted by the province after the NDP government cancelled an โ€œurgentโ€ external review ...

The NDP announcement was more about the announcement and less about substance or good public policy work? I am shocked!!!

Today, on the anniversary of the ร‰cole Polytechnique massacre, we remember the names of every woman who was killed because they were women. (1/3)

The only answer must be the stupid stand up scooter thing. Do not recall the name but was the โ€œnext thingโ€.
