I'm not sure how anyone watching this debate, regardless of your politics, can deny that Sanders is far more knowledgable and thoughtful than Biden is about the relationship between policy-making and daily living.

[David Simon @AoDespair]

The tone on this dry anti-anti-war piece is suggestive of Sanders being denied loans by Western banks, going to Russia with his realty holdings and casinos at the brink of bankruptcy and accepting a bailout from Kremlin-backed oligarchs. WT actual F, NYT? https://t.co/hyXykotMMM

@CBCTheHouse The long ago wars, as some discuss here, btwn the first people of this land, are not what is in dispute now, so to bring them up is spurious at best. Claiming that the blockades are bringing racism to the fore = accusing those met with violence of goading their attackers. Shame!

[SharonLax @SEL2250]

@CBCTheHouse I think people are missing the point. Violence is what the Canadian government brought to this demonstration. People were burning effigies in the streets and throwing rocks at the cars, as the people protecting their land were leaving. An elderly man was hit; he died.

McGill doesn't give a fuck about you.

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

This is just so perfectly Trudeau, King of Gesture Politics. Declares a "climate emergency" one day, approves a massive tar sands pipeline the next. All symbol, no substance, no matter the stakes. This will not stand.

Ray Jefferson Cromartie is set to be executed tonight. Case background via @AJC: https://t.co/2bwZxMQ97p

[Dominique Barlow @DominiqueBarl19]

@SupremeCourtGA please review the Emergency Application for Stay of Execution for #raycromartie. An execution should not go forth if he has been proven innocent.

@TheCurrentCBC @LeslieBeckRD It would have been great to discuss modern industrial farming, which is over 90% of all animal agriculture now, the real story behind "organic," "cage-free," and "humane," as well as discussing the environmental impact, such as the gunk on most farms that destroys water systems.

@TheCurrentCBC @BillBlair As an American living in Canada, I, among so many I speak with here, have at one time or another almost lost our lives, due to guns. Guns of all sorts. Pretending that we don't need a registry is pure cowardice, putting public safety last.

[SharonLax @SEL2250]

@EdwardH51454584 @realDonaldTrump @newtgingrich Yes, we in Canada, along with others and other ex-pats included, wondering. However, we all are experiencing the rise of the right, no matter how absurd these haters are.

YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS:

For all those saying Labour's idea to renegotiate the deal with the EU is "fantasy".... here is the EU's CHIEF NEGOTIATOR saying that if a different approach came from the UK, the EU would RECIPROCATE.

There you have it.

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

So let's get this right: May offers talks. Corbyn says remove No Deal threat, then we talk. Within an hour, Hammond rings 330 businesspeople and promises to remove No Deal threat because May faces revolt in Cabinet. But Corbyn is the "wrecker". Tories lie thru their teeth.

The Rule of Law is based on Racist Doctrines & Legal Fictions to promote imperialism & Land Dispossession of Indigenous Ppls, It’s the same rule of law which created the Indian Residential School System

[PETA @peta]

Britches' eyes were sewn shut by experimenters 😞 He was rescued from this hell, but so many animals are still locked away in cages and experimented on — and PETA is working every day to put an end to it.

[SharonLax @SEL2250]

@checkupcbc I agree with the callers who are calling on politicians to change their focus. One area is in subsidies to the meat, dairy and egg industries. There's no reason our tax dollars should go toward the billions of federal subsidies going into slaughterhouses, for instance.

[SharonLax @SEL2250]

@checkupcbc It's great that people are turning toward plant-based foods, but I would agree with the callers who speak to financially helping people to eat healthy - whether with a universal wage program or in subsidizing greenhouses (for instance, in the North, and there is in Nunavik).
