A politician with the guts to say it: "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War." - Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.

Ford's call for injunction against Al-Quds Day rally in Toronto is totally unprecedented. Policing is, ofc, always exercise of policing power. But for provincial govt to seek injunction to shut down gathering before its even begun is wild. Liberal democracies are a sham. Palestine will be free.

PM Carney has forgotten the story of the crocodile. The appeaser supports feeding others to the crocodile in the hope that the crocodile will eat them last. We are watching horrific violence in the Middle East. Canada cannot stand with the crocodiles. charlieangus.substack.com/p/canada-fee...

Canada Feeds the Crocodile
This morning, I keep thinking about Winston Churchill, and the powerful allegory he used to warn that the appeaser is the man who feeds others to the crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

I wrote you a piece about the concept of moral injury and why we need the voices of the prophets during times when concepts like "ethical compass" and "basic decency" elude us as a collective. Among other things, it explains moral injury and how to heal from it, which, you know, might be useful.

The upshot: no matter how old you are, this is the biggest scandal of your lifetime. It's so encompassing that a single author could publish many—*many*—books about it. It will be unfolding for years. You are not wrong to obsess over it. You are not wrong to see a global network.
