Here is something Donald and Pete will never tell you about. If it was not for The US and Britain Iran might still have it democracy. They orchestrated a coup & then installed the Shah as their puppet which eventually led the disastrous regime Iran has today.

50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says Tax cuts for the wealthy didn't boost the economies of the U.S. and 17 other countries — but they did worsen income inequality.

A new study from the #LSE reveals the brutal truth: 50 yrs of #US tax cuts, which promised to 'trickle down' and boost jobs and income for everyone, have only served one purpose—to enrich the wealthy. It's time to demand justice and build an economy that works for everyone!

I can not support any party who are so morally confused that they cannot stand unequivocally for human rights and international law. Avi's bright clarity on universal human rights and international law commands my support.

Thich Nhat Hahn said "To be is to inter-be. You cannot just be by yourself alone. You have to inter-be with every other thing." All misery will eventually be shared: as soon as the impulse to kindness even sprouts in your mind, you are happier.

Those who have been especially harmed by systemic injustices can think "nothing could be worse than this: let it crash, let them also taste misery." It definitely always can get worse than you imagine.

I am starting to find that I am losing the sense I had of being "up to speed" with what is going on with regard to climate and environment, Canadian politics and Geopolitics generally. This week anyway, I'm unsure I even want to get that sense back at my age.

Epstein files: Nobody should evade justice, say UN rights experts UN independent human rights experts on Friday emphasized no one is above the law, following the unsealing of nearly 1,000 pages of court records in the case of US financier Jeffrey Epstein, which shed...

Government leaders of the world, stand up: this really is a Hill to Die On. Are you going act to bring the guilty to justice. Or will you let violation of these innocents go unpunished? These crimes can not be allowed to stand. Your legacy is your action or inaction. news.un.org/en/story/202...

As a Canadian I have used the term the same way. I am merely letting you know how people who are born and educated in Latin America understand these terms America and American. They may say "Vivo en america, ¡soy americano!" without lie or misunderstanding.

In Latin America the education system teaches world geography with 6, not 7, continents.

Within this frame, using "American" or "Americano" to refer to yourself as a citizen of the USA is wrong and sounds arrogant. I thought you'd find this interesting if you weren't aware.

Heather, did you know that for Chileans, "America" is all of both contents North and South, and Americanos are the people who live there? I am told this is also the understanding of all Spanish-speaking South and Central Americans. Bad Bunny reinforced this perspective in his performance.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

All my life I have appreciated the pain and the relief of dawning conciousness, which art can sometimes provoke. Thank you Ai Weiwei. Art costs a great deal in human terms, especially for the artist.

I don't doubt that there are Many of Trump supporters in rural Canada. 20%, 30% is a lot! Is that in every community, everywhere in rural Canada, in all those elections? But her claim is that in every rural community in every part of Canada, in 2016, 2020 and 2024... a pluraĺity in every case.

Cecil, can you please point to a reputable source supporting your claim that all of rural Canada would have voted for Trump in each of the elections he contended in? This would change my mind about some things.

One unexpected consequence of this research may be that we may find new ways to signal directly to the brain stem of crocodillian humans like Trump. Apologies if that offends alligators.

We’re losing the farmland that feeds us at an unsustainable rate. The bill MPP Brady and I put forward would permanently protect our farmland to ensure that hundreds of years from now Ontarians can still rely on Ontario food and farmers to feed us.

Now is the time to protect our farmland.
