Ancestry is a key part of identity. But any attempt to use it to claim superiority or to demean the identities of others is almost certainly based on fiction. Don’t be sucked in by anyone who claims the contrary.

Beware of politicians offering to defend your history from ‘dishonour’
Anyone who claims their heritage makes them superior is merely a fool disparaging their own family.

It’s Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl. They keep leaving off the “Dr.”

Pay attention to how Idaho & the msm media infantilize her, calling her a “little girl” and ignoring her academic achievements. None of that is on accident.

Few things contain so much hope as a seed.

"dormant seeds preserved in sediment... had germinated, bringing back a variety of aquatic plants, including rare fen pondweed."

"More than 90 wetland plant species have emerged from the preserved dormant seeds"

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau."

Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

It is National Pizza Day, so this is your periodic reminder that Hawaiian Pizza was invented by a Greek-Canadian named Sam Panopoulos at his Satellite Restaurant in Chatham, Ontario in 1962.

The 80-year project to make this country completely car-dependent is complete, and now that you're trapped, you need to spend an average of $737 a month for your own economic and social mobility.
