Politics and its Discontents: The Power To Shock

I readily admit that most days, almost nothing fazes me, having come to the same conclusion as George Carlin that we are going away. Looking at all of the existential threats we face, it is clear they have one thing in common: a deeply flawed humanity with no prospect of remediation.

Politics and its Discontents: Pick Your Friends Wisely

Clearly, Pierre Poilievre is making a calculated decision here in who and what he associates himself with. H/t Theo Moudakis Recommend this Post

Politics and its Discontents: Truly, He Is A Man Of The People

I have a friend, subversive in his own way, who joined the Conservative Party for $15. He is entitled to thus vote in the September leadership election. I’m think he bought the membership in support of Pierre Poilievre, a man we both agree is not fit for such a position;

Politics and its Discontents: A Trip Back In Time

That must be what it feels like to visit the United States these days, with the Supreme Court okaying the open-carry of guns and overturning Roe v. Wade. Recommend this Post

Politics and its Discontents: The Real Faces Of ‘Freedom’

I probably spend more time on Twitter than is healthy, but given that I follow a number of people who are either political writers or activists, that time is not entirely wasted. Two that I regularly check in on are TizzyEnt, an American filmmaker and justice-seeker, and Caryma Sa’d, a Toronto

Politics and its Discontents: The Time Is Out Of Joint

  I spend a fair bit of time in this blog discussing my aversion to the United States. Widely populated by benighted souls, it is a country I now shun and have no intention of ever again visiting. However, my smug convictions about the superiority of Canadians relative to our

Politics and its Discontents: Hell No, I Won’t Go!

In the days of my youth, the above was an anthem of resistance, shouted in defiance of the American draft sending young men to fight and to die in Vietnam. As a Canadian, I watched from the sidelines but nonetheless admired them for their conviction and willingness to go to

Politics and its Discontents: This Deserves To Be Viewed

It’s less than three minutes, but is filled with truth one seldom hears on Fox. Fox News is, to put it mildly, not known for indulging progressive politics – but the rightwing news channel gave it a go on Monday, when Bernie Sanders appeared in a debate on the network’s sister channel, Fox Nation.

Politics and its Discontents: The CORE Of The Problem

  As I continue to reflect upon the sad outcome of the recent Ontario provincial election, I find that the bulk of my disdain, my odium, my repugnance, is aimed not at the minority of voters who gave Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives another majority. Rather, it is toward the majority

Politics and its Discontents: Who Was That Masked Man?

As of yesterday, June 11, here in Ontario our newfound ‘freedom’ from masks is almost total, with the exception of LTC and retirement homes. Those who wish to continue requiring them must do so on their own initiative, without benefit of government authority. Thankfully, most hospitals are continuing to mandate

Politics and its Discontents: I Did Not Know That

  While I am perhaps understandably loathe to do the work of Doug Food’s Ontario government, I feel an obligation to post about something I learned this morning. In what is undoubtedly a cost-saving measure, the premier’s braintrust has decreed that it will no longer be sending out reminders to renew

Politics and its Discontents: Too Late, Too Late

  “Come, my friendsTis not too late to seek a newer world…” – Alfred, Lord Tennyson I don’t post nearly as prolifically as I once did, in large part, I suspect, because I have lost the hope that things can be improved in ways that change the world from its

Politics and its Discontents: Brittlestar: People Are Stupid

No, it’s not the result of yesterday’s provincial election that prompted this title, although in light of it, Brittlestar’s latest does seem apt.  BTW, only 43% managed to rouse themselves from their torpor to vote yesterday. H/t Moudakis Recommend this Post

Politics and its Discontents: Pavlov Had His Bell

Politics and its Discontents: The End Of Days

In these latter days of our life as a species, there is little that shocks or dismays me. Instead, I find my predominant emotion now is one of disappointment: Disappointment that we never realized our potential as a species.  Disappointment that our headlong plunge into oblivion is done with eyes

Politics and its Discontents: In Gun We Trust

  H/t Moudakis Just a brief post. As a parent of two and a grandfather of one (our granddaughter was born last August), I do not have the stomach, the heart or the psychic strength to really contemplate the ongoing horror that is the United States. Nor can I read
