There are 751 unmarked graves at a Catholic church school for Indian children. This one is in Saskatchewan. So far, the Catholic church has had nothing to say. And it refuses to release any documenation it has. And that's true from parish priests all the way up to pope.
Some of the children were as young as three. Once taken into the schools, they were not permitted any use of their own language or any contact with their parents. And they were severely beaten for breaking any rules.
This brings the number of such burial cases to over a thousand - and that's just in two schools. There are many, many more such schools in Canada.
It's too bad we can't hang priests and nuns who created such horrors.
Has your local newspaper been covering this story?
I knew a couple of young men who survived one of these schools. They never forgot it, and their lives were perpetual anger and hatred.

In the city of Toronto, over a thousand people are homeless. About a hundred of them are living in tents and rough shelters in a park. Toronto's biggest newspaper, The Globe and Mail, told readers that this is a civic embarassment.
It is an embarassment in a way. It's an embarassment because the City government of Toronto has done a terrible job of caring for the city's homeless.
So the mayor moved in to kick them out of the park, and carried out their shelters and most of their belongings as garbage. So where do they go now? There really is no place except the sidewalks.
Put them on the lawns of Toronto's billionaires?
This is the city and the province that, like other cities, has no trouble shoveling out huge gifts of money for the super rich and that wouldn't dream of expecting the super rich to pay taxes.

The city of Buffalo has just elected a mayor - who is a socialist! This will not please the American armed forces. They are taught, as part of their training, that socialists are Naziis. (Seriously. This is part of their training.)

Ever here of Julian Assange? He's an Australian journalist - and, really, quite an oustanding one. And that's his problem.
He's been hounded for years by the British and American governments because of his outstanding reporting. Everything he said was true. Everything he said was quite legal. And that's why he has spent years in isolation and more years in the most savage of British prisons. He has never been found guilty of anything. He's never actually been charged with anything. But he's spending life in the most savage of British prisons. (That's the British government kissing American asses.)
After all these years of (illegal) imprisonment he has no hope of getting the freedom he deserves. If the British let him go, it will simply be into the arms of the U.S. government - and the U.S. supreme court will certainly put him back in prison, with or without a trial.
I don't know what his mental state is now. His life has been a horror for years. And don't expect any Canadian or American newspaper to tell the truth.
He is guilty of telling the truth. So skip checking your local, commercial newspaper. Our commercial news media don't like telling the truth.

I don't know whether our local papers are telling any truth about Cuba. This is the country that didn't want to go on being governed by American gangsters. So it overthrew them. And the U.S. has never forgiven Cuba for becoming a democracy.
Biden, alas, is no different from other American leaders. He wants ever more sanctions against Cuba. (Of course he's no different from the others. Like all American presidents, he's owned not by the people who voted for him but by the billionaires who pay him off to make themselves ever richer.)
These are the same billionaires who have done nothing to help the homeless Americans who are dying on the streets. (These billionaires do nothing or close to it for the millions of homeless. They have taken trillions of dollars out of the people, enough to provide serious relief for the homeless. But they spend it on the military so they can murder children and civilians by the millions all over the world.)
The U.S. tells us that China is evil. But compared to the U.S. China is a paradise. For a start, China houses it's people, even the poorest ones. The U.S. throws it's poor by the millions into the streets.

Really, we are still living out the human tragedies of the past. We are allowing the super rich as we once allowed kings and emperors to control our lives. They were never smarter than us - just greedier. Thus we come to premier Kenny in Alberta who is a fat fool, the premier of Ontario, the premier of New Brunswick who is the puppet of the Irving family. In all these cases, they are the puppets of the very rich. In all these years we haven't shown determination to elect honest governments.
The only honest party in Canada is the NDP. No. That's not just sloganeering. It's the reality of the sort we haven't lived up to in these thousands of years. And, unless we wake up, we are creating even more bought politicians and more poverty - and that's true just about all over the world.
The U.S. also avoids giving health care to the nations of Africa, especially those of the poorer nations. Cubans, the ones Americans paint as evil, have been providing health care to the dreadfully poor of Africa ever since they the Cubans kicked American gangsters out of their country. Cuba has been generous to those seeking help. The U.S. has been vicious in mass murder all over the world.
As well, the U.S. and the Europeans have offered almost no help to Africans suffering from the pandemic and from hunger. That's because the super rich need to command the fullest profitable profit of their massive costs they inflict on the U.S.

A late breaking story...American "right to bear arms groups" are spreading into Canada - notably, for the time, in New Brunswick and the Atlantic provinces. The "arms" , of course, mean military weapons.
Their American brothers include the mob that invaded the White House in Washington.

We're living in a world in which billionaires, especially American ones, control our societies. And they are pushing all of us toward the final war. And it's getting terribly close.
Don't worry about who will win that final war. Nobody will.
"This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper."
And, yes, we are that close.
