Reasonably sane Canadian deeply concerned about the direction the world's going in. When not worrying about the world, I get my pain from playing bridge and following the Bills and the Jays. No random DMs please.

I've received about a dozen messages, all almost identical, probably AI generated, saying "hey, I'm following you, so we're friends, now tell me all about your thoughts on everything from recipes to world affairs". Please stop wasting your time and mine!

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

What happens when the exercise of government power becomes so relentless that the public begins to accept what once would have demanded sustained scrutiny?
