@dmcorp @jasonjamesbnn @PierrePoilievre Unelected oligarchs are DOGE, and their goal is to privatize the world.

@bjdobson08 @acoyne Nonsense.

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!

There's been a LOT about why RFK Jr is a terrible pick, but I want to focus on something that is very concerning to me, but no one seems to be mentioning.

He appeals to a widespread, common-sense idea that the problem with our food is that it has "lots of artificial ingredients". Get the artificial ingredients out — no chemical additives! no food dyes! no high fructose corn syrup! — and our health problems magically resolve.

This is 100% incorrect, and fundamentally misunderstands the problems with our food system.

In 1968, Sidney Poitier was at a press conference at the height of his career.

He made it very clear how he felt about the press.

Funny that I had to find this on a discarded film reel with 1000s of books, Microfiche and films.

Now you can see it.

@liberal_party I just hate how polticians denigrate the work. Stop it.

@Jess5th Thanks for sharing! I have some assessment routines for teaching creative non-fiction, if you are interested. Love William Portorreal's talk!

@timthielmann It is entirely possible to be clear-eyed about those aspects of our history that treated humans like they weren't and also hold pride and love for those aspects of our history that were bold and beautiful. Embrace the complexity. Even while running for office, Tim.

@FoodProfessor @TorontoStar Your air quotes show a community group should not dare to research outside the confines of a university, or they are not a community group? What's wrong with reporting exactly which products... very confused by your post and why it's a problem for you.

@1MikeMorris @KootenayGreg I agree - but I have also watched incorrect or over-wrought reactions that make people look ridiculous. It is not helpful.

[Kelley Inden @ksinden]

@KootenayGreg @1MikeMorris No - the professionals the run the campaigns think they know what works, and they are kinda right. See how John Rustad has risen on the coattails of the culture wars that the spin doctors (gleefully supported by PP) are using to win. We overreact, they call us divisive. It works.

@hvacgirl1973 It was not mean to solve it and it never will. Yes, it enables; for some, it enables them to live another day &then they can move forward. Mostly, we need to focus on the strategies that get us past the stop-gap. It's is a major social issue requiring solutions in all sectors.

[Kelley Inden @ksinden]

We listen to ALL the experts. We try to make the best decisions. We refine/keep trying. There is NO ONE ANSWER - of course there isn't. All the tools. We don't let social media, that monetises and incentivises vitriol, hate, and polarisation, divide us and make us choose SIDES.

@rodmickleburgh @PierrePoilievre The only thing I can think of is dog whistle. The economic case for it is clear.

[Kelley Inden @ksinden]

@rodmickleburgh @PierrePoilievre I don't know - so much economic development has been driven by CBC in film, books, art, podcasting, music. It's baffling!

@FoodProfessor B.S. Whose hard work?
