PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant: "You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal."
"working hard used to get you something.. but now, working hard, what does that get you? .. life has changed. Instead of working for a nice life, we're working to line the pockets of billionaires. We are being bled dry"
Part of Hannah Spencers acceptance speech
I was born in 1961 too.
And this version of the past is a myth.
Kids did have food allergies we just didn’t have the science to name them.
I lost a brother before he was two because medicine didn’t yet understand what allergy killed him.
Trans kids didn’t “not exist.”
They hid. They were shamed. Many never survived adolescence.
Violence didn’t start with social media.
Bullying, racism, misogyny, and abuse were simply normalized and ignored.
Families didn’t stay together because things were better
they stayed together because women and children had fewer choices.
And no, it wasn’t just “Merry Christmas.”
We said Happy Holidays. Season’s Greetings. Yuletide.
Nobody lost their mind. Nobody felt threatened. We just… lived.
I rode buses and subways too
they weren’t magically safer.
We just didn’t talk about what happened on them.
What really changed wasn’t people.
It was visibility.
Data replaced denial.
Voices replaced silence.
And accountability replaced nostalgia.
The past wasn’t safer.
It was quieter because suffering had nowhere to go.
I don’t want a time machine.
I want a future where we stop confusing silence with peace.
Stop being such a boomer.
If people are hungry, you feed them.
If they are homeless, you house them.
If they’re sick, you give them medical care.
If they’re cold, you give them clothes.
It isn’t hard.
Far too many people are more than happy to sit in judgement of others rather than helping.
Anyone can become disabled.
Anyone can lose their job
Anyone can become homeless
Anyone can go hungry.
These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.
Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.
We must fight for one another
