My mother has cancer in Canada and it's next to impossible to get care. Doctors are overworked and overwhelmed. All this bleating about the wonders of socialized medicine comes from people who are either very healthy or very dishonest.

This encapsulates my life journey.

It would be easier for me to list the aspects of my education, comprising 4 degrees in Canada and the US, that weren't propaganda. Because about 90% of what I was taught absolutely was.

Because Ukraine is a sovereign nation. If you believe that so is Gaza, then recognize it already. If you don't, then avoid these ridiculous analogies.

There is no fad that UofT hasn't eagerly embraced. The funny thing is that they want a mature scholar in a field that they invented two minutes ago.

As a Mom, I find this very heartening.

With all due respect, thinking (as opposed to regurgitating the professors' favorite slogans) was the last thing we asked from students long before AI.

In Montreal's beautiful Old Port, we saw, in the middle of the day, a homeless man pull down his pants and empty his bowels. I didn't know how to explain why that was happening to my sheltered American 9-year-old. Maybe the linked account can help.

Russian delegation after leaving Alaska. If you know, you know.

He's much taller, too. It's one of the fakes they sent out.
