I've purged the Venezuelan flag from my handle. They've fully become a neocolonial holding of the United States with this deal to hand over all oil. I don't want to create the impression I support the puppet regime.

The media’s refusal to interrogate whether loud outrage is in good-faith — or whether there’s some underlying, nefarious motive fuelling that rage — is one of our most dangerous habits. Now, a man — Jason Arday — is dead. So it’s beyond time we have a discussion about this:

A map of the two proposed Alto HSR routes in Ontario, one going straight from Peterborough to Ottawa, and the second adding a "Fuckass Curve" in between so it can dip down south to Kingston.
