Today in Canadian parliamentary history — December 4, 1980: MP Anguish is anguished over whether “verbal diarrhea” is unparliamentary.
Unfortunately, his Point Of Order (POO) was late. And when a POO is late, the Speaker must flush it -- procedurally speaking that is.

“…this morning, from a war zone half a world away, I was reading about your election. And for the first time in days, I exhaled.
A small, almost invisible breath. Relief.
And then came gratitude…
You didn’t just choose kindness or experience…
You chose not to flirt with fascism.”

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us.
That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” T.Snyder.

1 year after the introduction of a generalized 30 km/h limit in Bologna, the results are quite encouraging.
For the first time since systematic data has been collected (1991), there has been zero (zero!) pedestrian killed in a road accident in 2024.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.
