@PureWander1ust Well you could take some aggrieved anglos' word for it and blame the French/separatists or you could read Jane Jacobs The Question of Separatism which lays out rhe structural reasons why Toronto surpassed Montreal in economic importance. Spoiler alert: it's not because of French.

I’m somewhat shocked at why Montreal is not the biggest city in Canada

Everyone deserves safety, dignity, and freedom. Today and always, we work toward a country where 2SLGBTQI+ communities can live openly and authentically – free from discrimination, hate, and violence – because a Canada for all is a Canada without hate.

Petrifying displays of white supremacy. Since when did the UK get infected with christo-fascism? This isn’t the USA…

It's time to stop automatically counting all half-Black people as just "Black". The One Drop Rule is a legacy of segregation, and it erases the reality of American diversity.

It’s interesting how mid-level films from the 1990-2010s suddenly seem like masterpieces.

Tonight in Brooklyn a mob of Muslims and Leftist Islamists protested and PRAYED "Alan Akbar!" outside of a Synagogue. None of this is normal. None of this is okay. No other religion in America is treated like this. What group of people does this? We will not be silenced. We are not scared. We are not YOU.

The Prime Minister says his government has got "the big political decisions right". Let's go through them. The government chose to cut welfare so it could spend even more on weapons and war. The government chose to demonise the sick and disabled. The government chose to keep children in poverty until it was dragged kicking and screaming to finally scrap the two-child benefit cap. The government chose not to bring water into public ownership, not to tax wealth and not to implement rent controls. The government chose to arm Israel and participate in genocide. The government chose to let the US use British air bases for its war crimes in Iran. The government chose to let Palantir get its hands on our NHS. The government chose to scapegoat migrants and refugees for its own failures. Poverty, inequality and genocide. Those are the government's big decisions. And that is how this government will be remembered.

This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years. Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all. People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.

Troy was so good. But you have to realize people at the time thought this was a B movie. The Lord of the Rings movies had just come out. Gladiator was only a few years old. Pirates of the Caribbean was the year before. We just thought movies would be good forever.

The NY Times just published a piece claiming that Israeli soldiers used dogs to rape Palestinians. This is not a joke. I repeat. This is not a joke. I wouldn’t use this trash as toilet paper. The NYT has zero credibility left. Zero!

When a Conservative Party @CPC_HQ Member of Parliament can’t do something as simple as a land acknowledgement, it tells you everything you need to know about this party’s stance on First Nations people. #FirstNations #cdnpoli

Investigative journalist Maureen Callahan exposes Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds for being a “psycho arsonist” and burning his school in Canada to the ground when he was a teenager, something he previously humorously admitted to 😳👀

Believing in a progressive system of taxation, which the United States has had since 1913, is not Marxist. Twitter is filled with cranks and lunatics.
George Kerber@GeorgeKerber404

@HistoryBoomer >> But I do support moderately heavier taxes on the wealthy. Unfortunately you have outed yourself as a Marxist.

I dislike defending billionaires. They annoy me! However a) I believe in freedom, which includes the freedom to buy and sell for a profit. b) I don't trust the government to decide how much $$ people can accumulate. But I do support moderately heavier taxes on the wealthy.
Carl@HistoryBoomer

You start a burger joint: Boomer Burgers. You hire 10 people to run it, and it makes money. Ok? You branch out and build 2 more joints. You make more money. You keep building new BBs. Dozens. Hundreds. Thousands. At what point does the money you're making become "unearned"?

@AlanRMacLeod That’s bullshit. Why can’t you make that ethnically? Can you make one million? Hundred thousand? What’s the highest ethical amount?
