What does JT not get enough credit for? Not TMX, the Canada Child Benefit. More countries should learn from it including the UK and US. And we should celebrate the CCB. That is what JT should be known for

The new strategy lays out Britain’s social disgrace in painful detail. But it also offers hope and a clear way forward that is worthy of a leftwing party, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

An acute example of Cdn establishment hollowness. When asked why no Palestinian voices in a debate *about* Palestinians, Griffith said they're pvt & somebody else should do it. Yet he struts & clucks on stage that Munk is fearless in its free speech & open dialogue. Such dilettante wankery.

Bailey's alternative.
Bailey's is owned by Diageo. This is the company that just shuttered the Ontario Crown Royal bottling plant in order to move production to the USA.
Corby is partly owned by Pernod Ricard, but this is made in Cowansville, Quebec by Ungava Spirits Co. (bought by Corby in 2016.)

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

They want us to be appalled, because caring about rules of war and human lives and the law all mark us out as inferior to them in their sick worldview.
They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.
