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.
On FB very well said…..
I had a conversation in person recently that pretty much sums up the Canadian political divide right now. Not the cartoon version from the news... the quiet, everyday one we've all had with friends, or family.
It started predictably of course. The usual labels tossed out like confetti (xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, bigot, Maple Maga). Because apparently if you question a policy, you must secretly hate the group it’s supposed to help.
And this little exchange laid it out for me.
For a lot of modern liberals, politics seems to be less about what actually happens and more about looking compassionate. Slap the right moral sticker on a policy "help the marginalized! Expand programs! Signal virtue!" and you're golden.
Ask whether it works in practice? Ahhh... suddenly you’re the bad guy with a heart of stone.
Their world is simple... you’re either “for people” or “against people.” Intentions are everything and results are optional.
In that framework, a policy ...
Copy it, read it & send to the federal government!
