Americans won't be thrilled with me saying this, but it's probable that the Boston tea party followed a similar strategy from rich Bostonian businessmen. These "businessmen" did not want to pay taxes the UK needed to reinforce colonial troops defending against French incursions. Same old story.
Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

For the handful of folks who care, the Canadian Senate just passed Bill C3 (changes to The Citizenship Act) without amendment. Its next stop is the Governor General, for royal assent; she also will decide when the new law will come into effect. C3 is a flawed bill, but a step in the right direction.

Bill 9 is cruelty disguised as policy.
Using the notwithstanding clause to block gender-affirming care for trans Albertans during Trans Week of Awareness is a disgrace.

While Albertans face real crises, Premier Danielle Smith is scapegoating trans and gender-diverse people with Bill 9, overriding Charter rights to push hate-filled politics.

... bypassing the need for a recorded vote - NO "yeas" or "nays," meaning Senate Republicans can avoid any accountability.
And when CORRUPT Pam Bondi claims she can't release the #EpsteinFiles due to ongoing investigation, Republicans up for reelection will claim they tried but their hands were tied
