Don't worry. There is no climate change. If there were, the Conservative Party would have told us.

I think (  I very much fear) that China is going to take a hard line on this. And there is, I think, nobody in a position to moderate.  On the contrary, China is likely to take a very hard line.

My Hong Kong students followed me back to Montreal. I think now of their farewell trip back home....of the e mails that some have sent me over the years..and I fear the worst...

Relax. This can't be true. The Canadian Conservative party says there's no rush and no big deal.

This is deliberate. Race hatred. And Trump is not suffering in the polls for it. Is Trump encouraging race hatred? No. He's encouraging what has always been there.

Much of this famine is all over the world as we have ignored the effect of climate change. It's going to get much, much worse as we block migrants at our borders or push starving people back to die at sea.

Meanwhile, Canadian loggers like the Irvings of New Brunswick just cut and spray with poisons.

Well, aboriginal Canadians who live on reservations are probably sick, anyway.

Canadians, vote Conservative. Then the sea levels won't rise. Yeah.

Israel is not what Judaism is about. Murder, land theft are not what Israel should be about.

The purpose of all that military spending? It's to provide huge profits for the U.S. war industry.
That means it is doing enormous damage to education, to those living in poverty...

This is possibly the greatest defeat in American history. How come our news media don't mention that.

And Canada's parliament sent Canadians to kill and to die there in a war that had nothing to do with Canada.

The United States is a nation in profound collapse socially, governmentally, economically, morally... And Canada is next door to it.

A remarkably stupid and vicious man. And Canada is his nearest ally.

Here's a luck at reality - and it's very different from the record of the U.S.

Let's be real. We live in a world dominated by greed and privilege. It's always been that way. It was like this in the middle ages. It  was like this in Ancient Rome. And the pattern repeats itself. The greedy and privileged assume power (and call it civilization.) Then, driven by its own greed, the privileged class sends itself crashing down.

This is what is happening to Britain today.  That is what is happening to the U.S. And to Canada. A sample of Canada's decline?

We have an election coming up. The Liberals have been no  wunderkind. But the Conservatives are even worse. And the Canadian vote is drifting to the Conservatives. It may be our dreadful news media that have kept Canadians so ignorant. But whether they go Liberal or Conservative, we're toast. The reality is that Canadians are crashingly ignorant of their own society - and their news media are a big reason for that.

And the news media, most of them, are owned by greedy and lying billionaires, all of whom support only Liberals and/or Conservatives.
