Update

I sent email to Sheldon and Andy to set up a transfer two days ago with no response. I know how to pay the Coutts Three. Although the earnings should exceed the $1,500, the amount I have received from Locals.com is a bit less, so that is pending.

Also, I should mention that we all appreciate those who find thought-provoking articles and post them here, and remind folks that any supporter can post.

Anyone can follow the corporate sponsored, government-approved, filtered, and pre-digested 'mainstream' news media, and it has its uses, but the focus of this site is to share articles that are a bit off the popular narrative and might otherwise escape notice.

An example is the NDP leaders' debate I posted. I actually watched most of it. What did I learn? Hard to say, but I can see why the uninformed find them credible and also that these 'leaders' are out of touch with the present reality. They are still complaining about things that Danielle has already fixed!

All, the same, the NDP should not be underestimated. They talk a good game -- in simplistic, idealistic generalities that are hard to pin down, but can easily sway and recruit the young and gullible.

So, please keep posting.

Some of these things I still miss

I grew up without safe spaces.
I grew up without trigger warnings.
I drank water from the hose.
I ate peanuts in class.
None of us wore a helmet.
Kids got hurt. We fell down. And we signed a lot of casts.

We couldn’t pause TV. We’d call out “It’s on!” as soon as the commercials started to end (for those who had left the room). And we watched our favourite shows as a family.

There was no next day delivery.
There was no bundle this with that.
There was no internet. Skip the Dishes didn’t exist.
Fast food was not the norm. It was easier to eat healthy. There were home phones. There was VH.........
