Happy Canada Day
Shitty country to indigenous people. Plenty of spreading disease in the
early years, and the deliberate destruction of their way of life and
culture thru residential schools. Back in high school I learned about the
Metis rebellion, but it was never clear WHY it happened. Didn’t learn that
till I was in my 40s—up till […]
Much more can be known about Canada.

nation staggers toward a holiday weekend burdened by a pandemic that is
only growing worse."

Until this week, Mr. Parscale, the president’s campaign manager, was one of
only three people whose Facebook and Instagram pages had been used by the

trial court’s temporary restraining order is only temporary, but it
still is a prior restraint on core political speech that flatly violates
the First Amendment,” Mr. Boutrous said. “We will immediately appeal.
This book, which addresses matters of great public concern and
importance about a sitting president in an election year, should not be
suppressed even for one day.”
