Armed with a Ph.D. in History from Queens University at Kingston I had the good fortune of a varied career in public, non-for-profit and co-operative sectors. In retirement my insatiable curiosity and drive to learn new things hasn’t diminished.

FAFO

No f***s left to give these people.

Trump and Musk and their noxious ilk didn’t rise up suddenly out of nowhere. There was a blueprint written in 1971 that set the stage for America’s descent into fascist oligarchy.

This is well worth a listen. #oligachy #maga #fascism

Well, everyone is about to find out whether the judicial branch is still a guardrail.

You have a site called “Evolving Hockey” and yet feel compelled to post drivel like this?

Ya, good luck with that. 🙄

No sympathy for this poster child for FAFO.

Is it Crosby’s Golden Goal at the 2010 Olympics.

But does this feel sooooo damn good right now?

Anytime I read about points of effective resistance I am heartened - at least for the moment. And that’s so important in these dire times.

Thanks @mcuban.bsky.social for your #resistance

Bypassing the American military industrial complex while building stronger relationships with our friends in the European Union is a great way to assert Canadian sovereignty:

“Flood the zone” ensures that are so many things happening it’s hard to keep up, let alone form coherent responses.

But as a historian this is too close to home; a response is easy: “Fuck this 1984 shit!”

Here’s a suggested first act for @mark-carney.bsky.social when he wins the Liberal Party leadership.

Cancel the F-35 contract and put in calls to Stockholm and Paris to begin discussions about buying either JAS 39 Gripens or Rafales.

That’ll get some attention!
