Read more in the kindness of strangers series
I was towards the end of a nine-week trip, travelling solo around the world. After that long abroad, I was just exhausted. So when I went to the ATM to get money out, I made a critical mistake.
At home in Australia, we take the card out and then we get our cash. In Argentina, where I was, it’s the reverse – first your cash comes out, then your card. So I put my card in, got my money and just walked away, leaving my card behind. Continue reading...

Prime minister pledges to reduce country’s reliance on US trade – but must navigate competing visions for the future
In his victory speech early on Tuesday, Mark Carney wasted little time calling for a dramatic reshaping of his government’s relationship with the United States, arguing that threats from Donald Trump cast doubt Canada’s ability to function as a “free, sovereign, and ambitious” nation.

Do you know what is more effective for building a city/society you want to live in than complaining online? Working for the government or non profits focused on improving and helping. Volunteering your time with others in your community. Hell, taking a walk around and getting to know your block.

But Will Chamberlain is talking about ethnically cleansing the United States by sending people born in the West “back” to wherever their ancestors were from.
What an evil fascist.

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

After years of assuming that authoritarianism would come on the wings of some grandiose ideology, it's almost kind of insulting for it to appear as nothing more than naked grift and the soothing of the egos of mediocre men.
