So it turns out the courts were ordered to ‘rubber-stamp’ warrants for the rich power companies to break into the homes of those already unable to survive in the cold winter of the cost-of-living crisis, install pre-payment meters and leave them to freeze & starve. It’s evil!

Being raised Catholic I know a thing or two about Divine Agonies but in spite of the weeping and wailing in the next room I don’t think there was a Station of the Cross where Jesus was made to share the iPad with his brother

Poilievre likes to call Canada broken. As an immigrant from the UK, I would suggest he has a look at Britain after 12 years of Conservative government. That's what "BROKEN" looks like, Pierre.

I've been waiting for a good article on Jaime Salé's descent into conspiracy madness. The TorStar piece is not it. "Olympic sweetheart with kooky beliefs perseveres against the naysayers" is not a good framing for someone who RTs calls for hanging healthcare workers.

Reading all the snippets on twitter about Poilievre is fascinating. He berates the media (Trump). He appeals to low information voters (Trump). He talks about problems but never solutions ( Trump). He’s a populist ( Trump). Is this what we want? Really?

Would *you* want to be the briefer who had to tell then-President Trump, "Sir, a foreign-manipulated spherical object powered by hot gas is wandering across the United States"? He'd think you were making fun of him.

I rarely get as outraged as these AR-15 lapel pins on GOP House members, drenched in the blood of hundreds of mass shooting victims But it symbolizes what the right has become: A death cult willing to destroy America if it can't rule My new column

Feb, 2023: Trump not in jail or even arrested. Kevin McCarthy now Speaker of the House. Matt Gaetz not in jail or even arrested. Louis DeJoy still running the US Post Office Not one Republican in Congress charged with J-6 crimes. Jan 6 bomber never named or caught.

To US Americans: your welfare is not threatened by a balloon. It is threatened by a ruling class that denies you access to healthcare, affordable housing, modern transit, living wages, proper voting rights, a stable climate, and a decent chance of living past 77. Know your enemy.

Wow: It was 4 yrs ago that we rescued Bondeni! Only days old, he’d walked into a village seeking company, his tiny feet covered in cuts. Once recovered, his zest for life, & cheeky streak, made him a foster favourite. With his ever present side-eye, we think he knows it too!

Pierre Poilievre has a point. Canada is broken. But it was Pierre's buddies Daniel Smith, Scott Moe,Heather Stefanson, and Doug Ford who broke it along with the Convoy clown show.

So an entire family took their own lives because Trump was no longer president… if you ever needed proof that Trump supporters are a cult… this would be it… Christian conservatives took their own life for a man who cares nothing for them. SMDH

This would explain what Poilievre was doing in Vancouver with the cops and BC Proud in tow. Making videos and using Vancouver’s vulnerable population to score political points. And of course, blaming Trudeau. But, Poilievre’s blame game hurts others rather than Justin Trudeau.

Being in another country, the UK feels like a crumbling mess. Public transport here (I’m in Germany) is faultless: fantastic trains, constant buses, cycle lanes everywhere. It’s clean. Money invested into making life easy and pleasant. Makes such a difference.

Liz Truss is an over promoted clerical worker with zero self awareness and a vastly inflated perception of her usefulness as a human being. She is too mind numbingly thick to know she’s thick and an emblem of everything that is wrong with this utter binfire of a government.

“Officers from the high-profile Scorpion unit of the Memphis Police Department patrolled city streets with an air of menace, zooming up on targets, jumping out of their Dodge Chargers at a dead run, and shouting at people to get out of their vehicles.”

"It was profitable... The message within the organization has been, consistently, that Capital Daily is the exemplar for every other publication to follow. They have been held up as the model of success that everyone else should be striving toward.”

By 2018, the 400 wealthiest American families paid a lower total tax rate – including federal, state and local taxes – than the bottom 50% of American households. Their overall tax rate that year was only 23%. It had been 70% in 1950. This is what oligarchy looks like.
