A whole village left their imprint on this piece, which I dedicate to all Nickel City newcomers who are building this “terre d’accueil” that is Sudbury.

Ce texte, c’est tout un village qui laisse sa trace. Je dédie ce texte à toustes les Nickel City newcomers, les nouveaux arrivants qui bâtissent cette terre d’accueil qu’est Sudbury.

The best anti-Nazi movies are Inglourious Basterds & Jojo Rabbit, because they kill Hitler. Shoshana and Jojo forever.

A major piece of the puzzle that I see a lot of fellow white people missing is intergenerational dialogue. I grew up working class & rural but I also grew up with 4 generations under one roof. History was never far away & so it was easy to learn from.

Your good new story for the day. I just received a message from a landlord in Florida. He has lost over $30,000 in rentals since Canadians began the boycott. Canadians are doing their part. LET'S TAKE THE BOYCOTT INTERNATIONAL. We invite allied nations to boycott all things American.

Both sides of my family came to work the mines of North Ontario. My grandfather Charlie Angus came from Dundee and died at the mine before I was born. His widow Jenny was feisty and fearless. She taught me my politics and history. I wrote this song for her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ0g...

This brings a tear the the eye of this aging punk rocker. I played with the Dead Kennedy's at their first gig in Canada. Their anthem Nazi Punks F--- Off caused bedlam. I like this song better.

Absolutely. Their goal is to enforce gender roles upon EVERYONE. Transphobes *know* that logistically policing what bathroom's people can use based on their genitals is not feasible. What they want is to enforce strict gender roles on how we *all* present and dress - emphasis on "force".

"The halftime show was boring." Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

To those looking to avoid Trumpland I would be remiss if I didn't pitch my own little patch of ground in Northern Ontario. You would be hard-pressed to find better canoe routes than the Temagami forest. I host summer tours in the underground silver mine at Cobalt.

I feel like this is an important moment to clarify that Canadians hate Drake more than any of you, so if anything this helps Canada-U.S. relations right now

Here's a fact most Americans don't know: The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world. The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits. We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

I think Canada should bring back Jean Chrétien as Prime Minister if only for like two weeks because he would absolutely use the power and opportunity to choke Donald Trump to death with his bare hands.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

My best advice as an activist who survived 10 years of Harper : 1- It's a marathon, not a sprint. They will try & overwhelm with a flurry of attacks. Use your energy wisely or it will deplete before the job is done. 2- Just because you're new to the fight, doesn't mean the fight is new.
