In 1980, Milton Friedman’s Free to Choose was published—along with a 10-part TV series. As notable as the ideas in each episode was Friedman’s approach to the discussion portion—favouring robust debate and long-format conversation to short-form slogans or angry talking points.

In 1859, John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty was published, and it remains one of the most influential works on individual freedom and free expression. You can access a copy of On Liberty under the Classical Liberalism section on our Resources page: theils.ca/resources/

Mauro Francis: Time is running out to restore order "B.C.’s trajectory is therefore not merely a provincial concern, but also a test of whether we, as a society, still understand public safety as a prerequisite for social cohesion." withoutdiminishment.com/p/at-the-cross…

@Liberal_Studies That may be in your view, but I don’t think it is morally defensible to tell a minority community that they are being too sensitive over the generalization and watering down of their holidays, celebrations, and memorials.

New rule: If you’re going to wear my culture as a costume in your retail store (playing generic Christmas music, having a tree, etc) you must name “Christmas” in your greetings. No more Christmas appropriation.

I am under attack from backers of @andrewcuomo and possibly his affiliates at the @DNC, I cannot tell for certain! Huge!

Mamdani’s “Our Time Has Come” rally reeks of performative authoritarianism—same script as every radical cult leader. Chinese slogans? Cute touch for a guy who pals around with regimes that jail dissidents while posing as an anti-imperialist. Letitia James indicted, Adriano Espaillat desperate for relevance—this isn’t a coalition. It’s a clown car of failed elites clinging to Mamdani’s coattails. Cool aura? Try calculated propaganda. The same guy who got arrested cheering Gaza chaos & refused to condemn Hamas butchered Israelis on Oct 7. Cuomo showed up for synagogues. Mamdani shows up for slogans. New York’s choice is clear: stability or collapse.

Here’s @GeoffRuss3 in @WDiminishment on why we need to take drastic measures re: Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside: “Right now, the status quo is the embodiment of cruelty. It is cruel to see people overdose in a bus shelter. It is spiritually defeating to send firefighters into the same SRO week after week. It is infuriating to see public servants waste their time lecturing about whether or not it is dehumanizing to call somebody ‘homeless,’ or a ‘person experiencing homelessness.’ “Involuntary treatment is not a moderate course of action. If it is a radical solution, so be it.”
Geoff Russ 🍁@GeoffRuss3

Involuntary treatment is not a moderate solution, but who can look at the Downtown Eastside and think anything short of a radical strategy will save its people and the neighbourhood itself? Once the necessary treatment facilities are built, the disaster on the DTES could be ended within 48 hours. Liberty is a privilege reserved for those able to exercise it responsibly. Those suffering from severe addiction are robbed of both choice and sound mind. We should not abdicate our duty to our fellow citizens by letting them wander the alleys like wild animals. The current approach is not compassion, but nothing short of cruelty. My first for @WDiminishment withoutdiminishment.com/p/involuntary-…
