Greta Thunberg called out Russia and Israel, Pope Leo called out Russia and Israel, the late Jane Goodall called out Russia and Israel. Notice a pattern? Intelligent and heroic people stand against tyranny whether it is Russia or Israel.

"But our system tests students on what they have not been taught. If you don’t have enough background knowledge to understand a test passage at least at a superficial level, no amount of practice in 'finding the main idea' will help you."

Natalie Wexler: "[T]ypical reading comprehension instruction, which focuses on practice in non-transferable skills like 'making inferences,' also doesn’t align with evidence.

Comprehension depends far less on abstract skill than on knowledge".

"...each was given an 18-month conditional sentence: Twelve months at home with limited outings per week, followed by six months under a 10 p.m. curfew."

Pierre Poilievre’s “grocery tax cut” stunt is pure theatre.
Most groceries are already tax-free in Canada.

Instead of going after Loblaws — whose execs his allies lobbied for — he’s pretending to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.
