Teaching Ginsberg’s “Howl” today.

As I was preparing for the lecture, it became clear how prescient and eerily relevant the poem still is today.

A poem from 70 years ago.

You've got to consider your options, any scolding would be basically worse than useless. This is why fascism is shitty. Your options are placate or attack with passion and commitment. And no one is ready for option B.

I would tend to agree with this sentiment. A lot of what he's saying has been roundly lambasted by the rest of the world. This is similar to telling Hulk Hogan he's America's Greatest Peace Ambassador or something. A big shiny belt would have been perfect, actually.

And this is why PM Carney leads Canada. And not me or the rest of us here who would be itching to tell him to fuck off. Carney is not looking to make a friend, he’s rangling a fiend. Don’t lose your shit over carefully worded diplomacy. That’s all it is, business.

Court agreed that canvassers’ affidavits are not required. No one should have to pay for participating in a democratic process.

Now you can hand in your petitions without affidavits.

Thank you Elections Alberta for agreeing with this decision.
