Apartheid South Africa cured my need to be patriotic. Canada cured my need to live in a competitive society.
Oh, and I'm not a trained economist, but . . .

I just added my name to this emergency appeal for climate action by Greta, Vanessa, Mitzi, and Dominika. Sign now and share, and they'll deliver our voices directly to governments at the @COP26 #climate summit. https://t.co/8H0MhWa0u9

Watched “The first 54 Years: . . . ” by Avi Mograbi @VIFFest. A stunning must see for those seeking Justice for the victims of occupation. The reality of occupation for those victims.

The absurdity of spending another penny just because we've already spent millions overwhelms my fragile mind . . .

If we stop #SiteC now, we won't have to do dam removal in the future. The land will start healing the minute the destruction stops.

In response to VOX's article saying “President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team is one of the most diverse ever. Here's what we know so far:

• 41% of senior staff are people of color

@FrazerChas @adriandix That “successfully” should be “unsuccessfully.”

[Lawrence Boxall @Alar_Bee]

@FrazerChas @adriandix I don't understand these people. Is this further evidence of the failure of western intelligentsia to understand what constitutes critical thinking and therefore to teach it successfully within our education system? Perhaps it’s simply engineered stupidity.

@ClimateReality It was bad enough back in the 50s when I was in primary school. What's happening now by comparison is becoming a nightmare. What is predicted in 50 years is beyond a nightmare. Why are the politicians so incapable of executing preventative measures.

Yep! The RCMP behaviour poses a serious question about policing and democracy.

[Doreen Manuel @DoreenManuel1]

“notes say that RCMP argued for "lethal overwatch" of the protest site and officers were instructed to use "as much violence toward the gate as you want"”This language goes beyond what Canadians... https://t.co/CIJuDKt5ze

@andrewfeinstein How wonderful it would be if Jeremy Corbyn succeeded in putting Tony Blair on trial. Even better if a Nuremberg-style trial prosecuted Bush as well, along with their inner circles of co-conspiritors. “You may say I'm a dreamer . . . ”

Yves Engler is an honorable truth-teller. The RCMP is used as an enforcer organization for the exploitation of all of us by the ruling elite. How different is this from the Mafia?

[drewlips @drulips]

@JustinTrudeau
Now you're sending the #RCMP to intimidate #YvesEngler. Do you view this nonviolent truth-teller as a threat to your brand? Is the emperor uncomfortable when he has no clothes on? How low can you go, #JustinTrudeau? #cdnpoli

Anti-capitalism is no longer an opinion but rather it is clearly a scientific fact.

@JeanSwanson_ We also need affordable housing for Ambulance drivers and other first responders who serve Vancouver but can no longer afford to live in Vancouver.
