I‘ll say it… celebrating thanksgiving, even if it’s just y'all eating food, is wrong. You don’t have to say “Happy Thanksgiving”. I get doing the dinner on thurs because that’s when we are all free. but, call it a fall harvest, learn about land back, uplift indigenous people. Don't Support Genocide.

I am, in general, an individualist -- I value my personal freedoms very highly.
At the same time, I could never in a million years take the attitude I see from car drivers, who think the idea of paying a tax in order to offset some of the costs to the public of the roads they use is an outrage.

"I DNF first-person books if I can't relate to the protagonist" is a kind of illiteracy.
The point of first person is not to insert yourself into a narrative. You are supposed to experience and empathize with the perspective of a character that is intended to be fully fleshed out.

That certain provincial premiers invoke the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as a tool to ram through legislation that would otherwise be unconstitutional speaks volumes about their contempt for democracy. That the news media normalizes this is unacceptable.

They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.
