Can Canada ever be far behind? Historically, Canada has always followed the U.S. in instituting racist immigration policies. Here we go AGAIN! And no, it did not take the conservatives to pass the law - it was the (right) centrists - the effing Liberals. ccla.org/press-releas...

The most beautiful way to star my Mondays, reading Sulagana Biswas' column "Beat The Monday Blues" in The Telegraph - T2. Here's a poignant homage to the music that sustained my 90s, and at least for me, kept my dreams alive in a world that was mostly full of bad humans.
