Steve Earle has released this beautiful video of his song "City of Immigrants," which was directed by Steve Buscemi. It's a wonderful ode to a key cause of American greatness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkRt...

Fellow Canadians, given that El Salvador is now building death camps for the U.S., perhaps we should also be boycotting anything from El Salvador.

This is very interesting and informative article for a financial novice like myself. It shows why Mark Carney’s savvy and influence make him the best person to lead our country.

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

Word of the day: EREMITION Eremition is the act of withdrawing or retreating, often into solitude. It comes from the word "eremite", which means a hermit.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

Word of the day is 'recrudescence' (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

On a cloudy Vancouver street, close to Chinatown, a small historic building tells the truth about us.

A three story building with two modest windows on each floor looks tiny on a Vancouver street next to supertalls and a corporate office building.

This is a zoom into the front entrance of the small building in the previous photo. Over the door are metal letters in all caps, rusted enough to appear decades old. They read: UNLIMITED GROWTH INCREASES THE DIVIDE.

This interview had me smiling. I have no role to play in the upcoming Liberal leadership race but I can only hope that they elect a leader that has a chance to disrupt a Conservative Majority. We'll do our part and elect a great MP (Gord Johns, NDP) who works across party lines to get things done.

While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive. Canadian air crews in Los Angeles risked their lives to save US civilians. #palisadesfire

With CBC Poilievre gets his way. It's a simple strategy: A relentless attack on the public broadcaster as "state media" "government propaganda" followed with relentless threats to shut them down and cut off their funding, , Sooner or later they fall into line by not asking the hard questions.
