The name of a killed service member covered up by a Dow Jones index ticker is a pretty grim metaphor for how America often operates.

Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.)
John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where “welcomed rape” is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid’s Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.

Thank you to Jusreign for giving me and Kalapi Gajjar the opportunity to create the opening titles for Late Bloomer for season 2 episode 6.
We wrote 'Late Bloomer' in ten scripts from the subcontinent. Everyone watch the episode (and series) on @CraveCanada

A proposed wealth tax on Canada’s richest 0.6% could raise hundreds of billions of dollars — enough to tackle housing, transit, and care.
The sheer scale of what a tiny slice of billionaire wealth could fund is staggering. jacobin.com/2025/06/wealth-t…

ABC just defeated a motion to have City staff look into bringing back a version of the Renters Office. Shameful, but not surprising.
