A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

I'm also disappointed in Mr. Singh's statement. I expected better from him. Public service should be commended, regardless of where ones allegiances lie

Trudeau government’s carbon price has had β€˜minimal’ effect on inflation and food costs, study concludes Carbon pricing had a small impact on the rate of inflation over the past five years, when the climate policy was responsible for a "small fraction" of the surge in

Here we go, folks. It’s finally conclusive. I guess the tax is lax, so fire the liar.

Spread it far and wide to make Poilievre/Cons cry:

One of the darkest days in Modern Canadian history. These women were murdered for simply being women. I used to think it could never happen again, I don’t think that anymore.

Ontario shutting down supervised consumption sites without assessing harm to drug users: auditor Health Minister Sylvia Jones once promised that β€˜people are not going to die,’ but the province hasn’t tried to figure out if they will or not, the auditor general reports

The 10 supervised drug consumption sites being forced to shut down this spring prevented nearly 1,600 fatal opioid overdoses in one year, Ontario’s auditor general has found.

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To β€˜tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.
