It's going to be weird if Naomi Klein's husband ends up leading the NDP, but I won't deny that I'm intrigued by the potential. Middle-aged white dude with glasses, more ideologically left-liberal internationalist, belongs to a Canadian political family, approachable...

The images coming out of Iran are already unbearable. Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people, with scores more killed around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety.  The United States

Insane framing. He was anally gang-raped. He was severely beaten and then anally gang-raped on camera. Both a knife and a taser were reportedly used. There was a hole in his rectal wall. He got surgery for it. Because he was anally gang-raped by the IDF (on camera). He also

NDP: Canada shouldn’t be a militarized petrostate! Conservatives: uhm, maybe only bio females in the ladies room? Mark Carney subplot:
