There is a lot of talk about 'digital sovereignty' but not enough action toward freeing ourselves from the clutches of the tech bro oligarchy. Union must do more to help themselves and their societies to embrace alternatives to dependency on invasive, often foreign, platforms.

One thing that people can do before abandoning the problematic social media platforms is document the extremists and their puppets. Make it harder for them to pretend they weren't part of it, and help CBSA filter out trouble makers from elsewhere.

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
Thatβ€˜s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

CANADA IS THE LYNCHPIN OF GLOBAL DEMOCRACY YouTube video by Charlie Angus

Either Canada and its allies stand together at this time or we will be broken. I think of the words of Winston Churchill in the darkest part of the Second World War when he said that Canada was the lynchpin holding democracies of the world together.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

If you can get past the sometimes slow setup of the first season and the limitations of the early CGI, Babylon 5 eventually delivers solid writing, some great performances, great character arcs.

White cis males from lower classes or with disabilities cannot be oppressed? Are you sure you want to assume that?

CBC reports flights to Vancouver canceled due to a lack of air traffic controllers. The US just let go a bunch of staff and made others look at options. Let's bring some of them to Team Canada.
