Charlie Kirk died in the America he wanted
I mourn the loss of human life. I feel compassion, empathy and grief at an inexcusable killing. But I find nothing to lionise in his legacy.

Free to air footy on Saturdays has become an election issue with Senator Sarah Hanson-Young vowing to change anti syphoning laws.
If you are concerned about the lack of free to air footy now is the time to ask your local candidates their views with a Federal election on 3/5/25.

If you have a spare ten bucks, why not buy a small bottle a Canadian maple syrup?
The supermarket brand ones are pure Canadian syrup and only $6:50.
And in return you’ll receive delicious maple syrup to drizzle on your coffee ice cream or pancakes, and the good feeling of supporting Canada.
