81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

On July 12, 1855, some drunk clowns got into a massive brawl with a bunch of firefighters at a Toronto brothel.
By the next day, several firefighters were beaten and the circus was burned to the ground.

When The Body Politic debuted in 1971, it was the first significant gay publication in Canadian history.

Food retail profits set a records $6.3b in 2024, more than 2x pre-COVID norms. The profit margin (as % of revenue) has also doubled even as profits in other industries fell. So the @ndp.ca proposals to bring down food prices & profits are timely. My take: www.progressive-economics.ca/2025/03/yes-...
