From the New York Times, here. Read this. It’s apocalyptic. And the writing is extraordinary. More than H.I.V. More than dysentery. More than malaria, influenza, cholera and measles — combined. In the 10 months since a mysterious pneumonia began striking residents of Wuhan, China, Covid-19 has killed more than one million people

Back then, I worked for John Turner’s Liberal government and my then-girlfriend worked for Brian Mulroney’s Conservatives. On the afternoon of Sept. 4, 1984, I was heading home to Calgary and law school. So I went to the Ottawa polling station where she was volunteering. She was sad to see

The big difference between Trump conservatives and anti-Trump progressives is the latter have boundaries and the former don’t. The big reason Trump conservatives keep beating anti-Trump progressives is the latter keep hoping the former will change. They won’t. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) September 19, 2020

…not, um, speculative. But grateful they pick up some of my stuff. #OPINION Aline Chrétien came from a small town, with humble roots. She loved people and people loved her. She was Jean's rock, his truest love, his everything. And I confess that I’m so worried for him now, writes

Proud son of a CAF Officer, here, with a question for those of you who serve, and who I respect so much: should this politician use your service in this way? The RCAF is apolitical; every rank knows that. Do you agree with what he’s doing? #cdnpoli #cpc pic.twitter.com/ETTYIuqkoJ —

I am so, so down about this. What a giant of an artist. What a genius! Seeing him a few years ago with my Jamaican brother Karl – it was one of the best shows ever. So, so sad. I’ll be wearing one of my Toots tour shirts today. And
