The National Post attack on NDP Leader Avi Lewis crosses the line into threat. They invoke the same religious code words used by extremists who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin. It is unacceptable to use religious intimidation to shut down debate on Gaza. charlieangus.substack.com/p/national-p...

NATIONAL POST CROSSES LINE ON THREAT AGAINST LEWIS
A recent editorial on NDP leader Avi Lewis crossed the line into an extremist hate threat. It needs to be called out.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Once you have a lot of money it becomes easier to get more money by doing nothing, which disincentivizes work. This is why all our billionaires post insane bullshit all day. If they had to work they'd be too busy to act like this, doubly benefiting society

I recently read Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's "Chain of Ideas" and highly recommend it. I think it's a must-read for Canadians right now, as it includes a chapter on our own wanna be authoritarian, Pierre Poilievre (Link 7: Fight for freedom as patriots, like the nation's founders).

You cannot discriminate against one group of people without it infesting the entirety of your soul. It is as true on the “left” as it is the right. Once you decide it’s cool to throw vulnerable people under the bus, you’re cooked completely.

In rape culture, everything a woman says means yes and nothing she says means no. This seems to assert that though she said not to come over, said no repeatedly, struggled against Platner, an ambiguous prior comment constituted irrevocable consent. Not a shocking breach not to include it.

Wow. Fucking disgusting. Pierre Poilievre is such a loser, man. Note to everyone: if your rights become politically unpopular, Poilievre will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat, apparently.
Poilievre quote tweets JK Rowling saying « what she said » after JK writes: « Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women. »
