On this weekend when so many of us are planning to attend screenings of The Odyssey, I link back to a sermon from 10 years ago, which is about rural Saskatchewan, technological and social change, John Keats, translating The Odyssey, and social media mwucsermons.wordpress.com/2016/07/17/o...

For the first time in 15 years, my end-of-year essay strikes an optimistic note -- not for the year that's ended, which was catastrophic, or the one ahead. But I observe that our condition will necessitate an era of great growth, invention, employment... www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/e33036f...

“…this morning, from a war zone half a world away, I was reading about your election. And for the first time in days, I exhaled. A small, almost invisible breath. Relief. And then came gratitude… You didn’t just choose kindness or experience… You chose not to flirt with fascism.” From Ukraine.

If you see this, repost it. If legacy media won't tell everyone that change is wanted, you have to.

Here's my latest reflection on a lesson I learned from a woman who was in the second tower on 9/11. When the world is turned upside down taking action is the only way to survive. Our democracy is under threat but politicians are still living in 2024. charlieangus.substack.com/p/no-return-...

Doug Ford's enthusiastic support for Trump in October 2016, less than a week after the "grab em by the pussy" scandal broke should be made into ads by NDP and Liberal teams and run everywhere until Feb 27 -- toronto.citynews.ca/video/2016/1...

Trudeau says not implementing electoral reform is the biggest regret of his 9+ years in power. I couldn't agree more. Maybe 2025 will finally be the time when Canada tries democracy with some kind of proportional representation.

This might be my favourite opinion column by anyone on anything ever. Bravo -- www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: This is how Canada should deal with Donald Trump, irrational actor
We cannot fall into the trap of believing the president-elect is rational – so we must not cave into his blackmail or immediately retaliate with self-destructive tariffs
