As the US-Israel lead the world into war, let's see if journalists can report from a place of clarity: this is a war of choice, it's illegal, and the opportunity for carnage is infinite. Please do your job and ask some hard questions this time around, will you? (That includes challenging Carney)

Jeff Bezos said this when he bought the WaPo in 2013: “I don’t think you can keep shrinking the business. You can be profitable and shrinking. And that’s a survival strategy, but it ultimately leads to irrelevance, at best. And, at worst, it leads to extinction.”

Charter rights ‘not optional’ say MRU faculty and students protesting UCP legislation forcing striking Alberta teachers back to work
Dozens of students and faculty protested at Calgary’s Mount Royal University on Tuesday afternoon in opposition to the governing United Conservative Party’s decision to force an end to the recent province-wide teachers’ strike. Chanting “charter rights are human rights,” protesters were upset with Premier Danielle Smith's government’s use of the notwithstanding clause in the Canadian Charter of Rights to shield it from a court challenge.
