Thousands of members of the Canadian Armed Forces are spending Christmas away from home – standing on guard for our freedoms, and those of our allies.
In this increasingly dangerous and divided world, we are ever more grateful for your service and sacrifice. Merry Christmas.

RIP poet Constance Naden, died this day 1889, too young at 31.
"He who, having lost one ideal, refuses to give his heart and soul to another and nobler, is like a man who declines to build a house on the rock because the wind and rain have ruined his house on the sand."

happy bday poet Harriet Monroe, b.1860, Chicago, founded Poetry magazine in 1912.
"Our little solos are a note in an immense chorus vibrating grandly through the universe, a chorus which accepts and harmonizes the whir of the cricket and the long drum-roll of the stars."

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

i have no problem if Trump wants to put his name on this building, and it is much more fitting for him and what he has done in office. He can call it the Donald J. Trump White House of the Confederacy. Trump has done far more damage to America than Jefferson Davis ever hoped.
