Please know that this media framing of Yemeni civilians killed by Saudi & its allies isn't new.

The modern asylum system was created in the aftermath of the Holocaust. The US program, however, was driven by Cold War politics. Its dismantling indicates it has outlived its usefulness as an ideological tool.

Who Killed Asylum?
Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the US government, across Republican and Democratic administrations alike, has been slowly dismantling what was once the most generous asylum system in the world.

Today, on Ottawa’s 200th birthday, I reflect on our city’s proud heritage
WHISKEY AND WICKEDNESS
A BASTION OF TAVERNS AND BROTHELS

From the earliest days of Bytown, Lowertown had been a bustling row of taverns, inns, and brothels.
These trades catered well to the largely seasonal workforce of lumbermen and navies in Bytown.
Every spring, having spent several cold months in the woods, hundreds of lumberjacks would arrive in Bytown with half a year's wages in their pockets and eager for the diversions that Bytown had to offer.
As early as 1832, Bytown had nine licensed drinking establishments and countless illegal operations, many selling raw white whiskey known as poitín. This number ballooned to over 70 taverns and inns by 1852. Taverns such as Isaac Bérichon's City Hotel operated in Lowertown. Richmond Landing, just west of modern-day Parliament Hill, and Corktown near the canal, were home to more colourful establishments like Mother Firth's Inn. Many workers drank a gallon of whiskey a week. The streets were often filled with drunkenness, dancing, and fighting. Violence was commonplace.
In Corktown, Irish workers frequented Mother McGinty's tavern. Like Mother Firth, Mother McGinty was known as a formidable matron who could more than hold her own against unruly patrons. Said to have been armed with a winning smile and backed by an arm that she was reputed to swing with great potency, Mother McGinty ensured that the beer, rum, and poitín flowed freely. McGinty, who catered to often cash-poor labourers, kept track of her patrons' tallies on a chalkboard behind the bar; a short stroke for a half-pint, a full stroke for a quart, and an eagle's talon for a gallon!

Members of the community at UNB Saint John spent days reading the names of every child murdered in the Gaza genocide. All local MPs and MLAs were invited. Not one showed up. No mainstream media covered it. nbmediacoop.org/2026/09/18/n...
There was no media coverage, Houlahan said.
Every MP and MLA in the province was invited to attend, along with Mayor Donna Reardon and all members of Saint John city council, along with UNB’s board of governors and senior administrators, according to Houlahan.
“None of the MLAs, none of the MPs, none of the city council, none of the board of governors, none of the senior admin from the university even responded, let alone accepted the invitation,” Houlahan said.
