"In January 2022, the Center for Countering Digital Hate accused Substack of allowing content that could be dangerous to public health. The Center estimated that the company earned $2.5M per year from the top 5 anti-vaccine authors alone. The 3 founders responded via blog post affirming their […]

All of these #ElbowsUp Canadians pushing to buy Canadian products and services make me despair as they share and organize on Facebook, X, and Instagram. WTF

It looks like the PQ may win in the Québec election. Just what Canada needs is another separation-focused government.

My grandfather served in the German Army, the Reichswehr, from 1919 to 1928. He was later drafted into the Wehrmacht, under the Nazis, in the early 1940s. He refused to join the Nazi party and as a result could not get a ration card for his family of 6 children. My mother remembers fishing for […]
