It seems as if the entire concept of a mass, general strike - along with things like other union members never crossing a picket line, have been memory holed.

I also remember when Carney welcomed her to the G7 summit by jumping to attention, giving her a jaunty salute and referring to her as one of his dearest friends. Gross.

I'm going to miss your column - especially all the writing about and reviews of books. Your responsible for me reading among other things The Complete Works of Primo Levi and Arlie Russell Hochschild & Adam Hochschild works.

She's what I'm coming to think of as the 'Bluesky Special.'

A 'policy researcher,' 'analyst,' 'advocate,' 'activist' AND professional social media finger waging scolder.

Luke Kemps new book 'Goliath's Curse' has many fascinating sections dealing with the much more egalitarian nature of hunter/gatherer societies and the relationship between those types of societies with primate species. Very, very interesting and eye opening.
