For those of you who love history, I highly recommend Dan Snow’s History Hit, Dan Snow. So many of his episodes are great but I found this recent one on the Seven Years War to be near the top. Well done Dan! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dan…

I still do not understand why people are blaming Toronto's zoning bylaws for the housing crisis - just look at all the cranes, and all the signs for projects almost certain to be approved. Misdirection, like they do in magic tricks.

My God! We are fining nurses $100,000 for asserting facts? This is Orwellian.

He was sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life and his books were burned. In 2025, Amy Hamm, a BC nurse, was fined $100K for

Trump is a girly man.

This is unreal. We can't even speak truth in Canada anymore.

I believe every Canadian deserves dignity, respect, and compassionate care, no matter how they identify. Fining a nurse $93,000 for acknowledging biological sex is punishing her for recognizing a scientific reality required to safely practice medicine. We cannot ignore that in

Cameron Murray There is the word "currency" meaning "the fact or quality of being generally accepted or in use" - something can be money if other people accept it as such - but then this can evaporate. Gold and diamonds can be traded like money as these are physical things with properties that
