Any country that signed the Geneva Convention on Refugees must admit a person, whether carrying a passport or not, who declares they’re a refugee fleeing persecution on one of several listed grounds. Canada will do that & also likely admit you w/o passport pending hearing.

I trust no one is going to the CN TOWER as workers there have been locked out. Switch the plan B for Canada Day.

This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like | Carole Cadwalladr | TED youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?si… via YouTube “Data rights are human rights.” “I came here to reclaim my power.” “You are not gods. You are men.” Carole Cadwalladr brings it to the serpents of digital Eden.

What kind of person gets up in the morning and decides this is a good way to spend their time? What kind of person gets called out on their bullshit, then goes to bed without owning their mistake? The world needs less Rupa Subramanya. #cdnpoli #cdnrightwing

And before Central Asia … Africa, like all the rest of us. This is opinion journalism, not reporting. In reporting you talk to people you’re writing about, and to people who know more than you do about the topic. Reporting breaks news. Opinion masticates it. Go for reporting.

Another auto-defenestration to go with all the auto-asphyxiations and auto-pendulations. Amazing, the forensic acumen of the Russian police.

Wise move by Mr. Coletto. Odds are Johnny Reb was carrying. “Boy, what drink did I ask you to fetch me?” “A mint julep, sir.” “Why, I believe I did, but this ain’t a mint julep. Now you’d best come over here, ’cause I aim to tell you how a julep is made. No back talk, mind.”

This surgical drill might get stuck in your skull. Pieces might fly into your brain. Didn’t see that coming. #Neurosurgery #Medicaldevices #payattention fda.gov/medical-device…

We saw it all right. Harper disliked most news people & book learning. “… not a time to commit sociology.” He smirked. My mom, in her 80s: “He looks like he’s laughing at us, and I refuse to vote for anyone who laughs at me.” Classic passive-aggressive resentment. #cdnpoli

No, RFKJr, this isn’t an engraving on a bench in the FDA courtyard. It’s a pathetic fake. Those letters aren’t engraved. They’re wavy and distorted. Mother of God, they run right across a seam in the stone. You’re a dungblot on your family tree.

Men need to do better at understanding and acknowledging the pain unique to women. Fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, many cancers. They’re our wives, partners, mothers, sisters and friends. Listen. Ask. Don’t dismiss. Thanks Siobhan Morris for sharing.

Vouchers for “non-union schools.”Great idea. “At the Anti-Solidarity School, kids learn how to betray others by crossing picket lines. Older kids get summer internships as paid strikebreakers (subject to availability). “Best of all, ASS kids learn how to kiss the boss’s.”

Breaking: Exercise extreme caution when walking in #Vaughan, a huge #Toronto suburb. They just killed their speed-control camera program. Reason: Repeat-offending drivers complained that *fines were unreasonable* in a recession! #makeitmakesense thestar.com/news/gta/a-kne…

Again with the “call an election!” just after we had an election. This is the #Canada ConBoys MO. Churn chaos with wild accusations & demands — as long as they’re out of power. Once they get in, guess who stalls and prorogues to the limit, restricts and suppresses to the max?
