If you are tired of people complaining about paywall access to journalism then imagine how tired people are of living in places like America where disinformation is free and journalism is a mandatory paid subscription

Wait, we thought the Canadian Coalition
For “Firearm
Rights” was just a collection of peasant hunters working hard in the bush to feed their families and jolly “sport” target shooters out for a lark.
Turns out the CCFR gets funding from the gun merchants.
Merry Christmas!

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

(Published 2022)
That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

3C of heating makes our current global society unlivable, by the way. Parts of Spain become the Sahara, eg.

“Nearly all of our modern gun control legislation came about as a consequence of the tragedy and subsequent lobbying by the gun control advocates born at Polytechnique that night.

“We must fight like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

Never forget Polytechnique
The Polytechnique massacre on Dec. 6, 1989 was a mass femicide that left an indelible imprint on all Montrealers.

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.

On this day in 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. For 381 days people boycotted the buses. They walked, carpooled and organized every single day until segregation cracked. Nothing will change today without that same resolve. Freedom isn’t granted, it's taken one step at a time. #Resist
