โThat memo written for the US Chamber of Commerce implored corporations and oligarchs to be โfar more aggressiveโ in influencing the political system, which he feared was becoming far too responsive to popular demands for the regulation of business.โ
This document would tear our current government apart and make us all workers of the rich, whether we want to or not.
I wish I was being sarcastic
BTW, never drink Coors.

The Blackfoot Wisdom that Inspired Maslowโs Hierarchy

Hello fellow Canadians.
I have followed up last week's email to our Minister of Justice requesting that the Canadian government take steps against Elon Musk and X and join in support of Brazil's ban of X and to do likewise here in Canada. X and Elon Musk pose a clear and present danger to our politics, our values and our security.
I encourage all Canadians to do the same.
