Sister Souljah was not nationally recognized in 1992. Her album had peaked at number 72 on the r&b charts.
Pretty sure that was the appeal in targeting her. The Clinton campaign got to completely define her. Same with Piker now.
Come on Globe and Mail.
DO YOU THINK IT'S EASY TO RUN CANADA'S NATIONAL NEWSPAPER FROM AN OFFICE IN TORONTO?!?
The periphery should be thankful their provincial actions are noted at all.
https://freemarwan.org “What is happening to Barghouti is exactly the same as what happened to me.” – Nelson Mandela in 2002
But really really important to note that Barghouti actually does exist. freemarwan.org
Never seen one of these “where is the Palestinian Mandela?” people ever mention Marwan Barghouti, much less call for his release. The “Palestinian Mandela” is in an Israeli jail. A fact that is never mentioned by these ghouls b/c the last thing they actually want is an actual Palestinian Mandela.
Once again, the question is not "where is the Palestinian Mandela?" but "where is the Israeli John Brown?"
Disco Stu point to a chart showing disco record sales on an ever increasing arc. The chart ends in 1977.
On the positive side, Canadians have been instinctively rejecting these efforts for decades. There’s a reason no right-wing party runs on this shit.
Fair enough. I think there is a multi-front effort to generate support for privatization - push-polling, misleading “expert” reports - but also, crucially, starving the public system until it breaks down and then talking loudly about its failures.
No. Poll is very very torqued.
I mean, come on… bsky.app/profile/elli...
bsky.app/profile/elli... and this!
Best part of this bullshit push poll from the libertarians at the Montreal Economic Institute - the casual claim that men support privatization because they just have more awareness.
More than half of Canadians (56%) report being satisfied with their provincial healthcare system, on par with last year. 56% Satisfied 2025:56%个 2024: 48% 2023: 48% 2022: 50%V 2021: 66% 2020: 68% 2% 42% Dissatisfied 2025: 43%* 2024: 50% 2023: 50% 2022:49%个 2021: 32% 2020: 30% Very satisfied Somewhat satisfied Somewhat dissatisfied Very dissatisfied Don't know/Refusal 14% 12% 28% 44%
Even this dubious push poll finds that most Canadians are pretty satisfied with the system.
Curtis, when you post a sponsored poll like this one, you really should note the sponsor. The fact that this was paid for by a far right think tank is relevant to the findings.
All true. But also, important to note that this is an *incredibly* torqued poll paid for by the very right-wing Montreal Economic Institute (who brought us Max Bernier). They paid to get the results they wanted. www.ipsos.com/sites/defaul...
Correct.
First as tragedy, then as farce.
From what I can see, "studios"* are not especially concerned with the "theatre problem" and are much more (or at least as) interested in maximizing streaming revenue.
* "Studios" feels like an increasingly misleading way to describe media conglomerates in which film production is a small division

What has become of Trump’s legendary good humour and generous spirit?
I remember when Ween was on Ed Sullivan and 73 million people watched. That was the beginning of Weenmania.

Graded against other boomer icons who are either drifting into fascism (Rod Stewart) or statutory rapists (Stones, Aerosmith, Zeppelin, etc*) Bruce is great.
Conservatives are morons.
But university degrees don't give people value. A formal education can leave you a moron. And a lack of one doesn't make you stupid. Central bankers are behind some of the dumbest economic policies to ever see light.
There are better examples of Tory stupidity.
This deference to credentials has allowed the Prime Minister to skate past the fact that some his nominally "brilliant" neo-liberal policie didn't actually fucking work.

I find Poilievre to be a loathsome disgusting figure, but this backlash is telling.
Central bank heads are extremely capable of making mind-numbingly terrible economic policy.
Acting like they are modern gods walking infallibly amongst us is actually part of the reason everything sucks now.
