The crazed populist and evangelical set is trumpeting today’s eclipse as yet another indicator of the end times. Marjorie Taylor Greene, never one to pass up an opportunity to display her moronic mentality, had this to say: … the firebrand Republican congresswoman raised eyebrows with a tweet: “God is sending

Well-played, Danielle. H/t Graeme Mackay Given that only 0.0037 of Albertans over 15 identify as transgender or non-binary, that is quite the feat! Recommend this Post

And Patrick Corrigan offers this apt and incisive cartoon to help us usher in the new year. While the threats to democracy are world-wide, three former Trump staffers warn the danger is particularly acute in the U.S. if their former boss returns to the White House. You can read all about

As we move with both hope and trepidation into 2024, here are a few reflections, through a Canadian lens, on what happened this year, as recalled by my favourite editorial cartoonist, Theo Moudakis: Happy New Year, everyone. Recommend this Post

H/t Moudakis One has to wonder, given the lack of any real movement on a national pharmacare program, whether Justin Trudeau is gambling on Jagmeet Singh’s NDP being more afraid of an early election than are the Liberals. Given that the polls show an almost inexplicable lead by PP’s

I guess we never really outgrow Halloween, especially when the auguries spell something scary for Doug Ford. And editorial cartoonists are certainly trying to put the fear of God into the premier: H/t Theo Moudakis Recommend this Post

With the NDP imploding under the weight of idealists and ideologues, and with some calling for the resignation of Marit Stiles, the following editorial cartoon seems to hit its target: The only possible victor emerging from this debacle, in my view, will be the Ontario Liberals, especially if they choose Bonnie

H/t Patrick Corrigan I’m fairly certain that readers who have stuck with me during my protracted postings on the Doug Ford corruption scandal are growing a bit weary of my apparent monomania. I don’t blame you. Even I get tired of writing about a situation that seems to have

Regrettably, I don’t have too much time these days to post, and today is another busy day, so I shall leave you with the following editorial cartoon from Greg Perry, and links to some stories that are damning indictments of the Doug Ford cabal. Oh, and one more thing: Premier

While a flurry of columns, articles and editorials continue to rail against the Doug Ford cabal theft of Greenbelt lands, I thought that a couple of editorial cartoons might be sufficient for today, images that effectively encapsulate the corruption and resulting pungent odour we in Ontario are contending with: Recommend

As Hamlet character Polonius famously (and ironically) said, Brevity is the soul of wit. And I can think of few wittier than editorial cartoonists, whose illustrations, when they hit the mark, are succinctly brilliant. My favourite is Theo Moudakis, whose work appears regularly in the Toronto Star. Today’s edition sees some

H/t Moudakis A cynic and pessimist by nature, I rarely attribute any lasting, long-term results arising from protests. In the case of the Greenbelt Corruption and Destruction, however, I have to admit to being guardedly optimistic. People are not quickly forgetting this desecration of environmental stewardship, democracy, and ethical,
