“Violence against women is the CAQ government feigning support for women’s rights while enacting legislation that marginalizes and limits career opportunities based on women’s own choices.” cultmtl.com/2025/11/gend...

“In life, no matter what it is, you really don't have a lot of control. You can't guarantee you're going to live to tomorrow. You've only got today, so surrender to today, enjoy today, enjoy the lattes, enjoy everything you're doing.” — Colleen Jones
Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.
She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.

This is awful news. Colleen was one of the kindest, most helpful journalists I've known and a great athlete to boot. So sad for her family.
Sad news. R.I.P. Colleen Jones. Canadian original.
The loss of Colleen Jones is felt deeply across the country. She wasn't just a curling champion and a familiar voice on the CBC - she was an inspiration whose spirit and dedication touched so many lives. We hold her memory close today. 💔⚓️🥌

Their goal isn't monarchy, but piracy & warlordism. Theil et al. are looting the world for personal gain.
Structurally, their model is neo-colonialism or "empire by private contract," in the words of Steven Press.
