Cinco de mayo ~~ May 5, 1862 Battle of Puebla

So, today is Cinco de Mayo; the history behind why Americans celebrate May 5th had me thinking about how a small group of people definitely living in a different era took a stand and while there are many stories of how people in our past stood up; such as John Lewis, MLK,Dorothy Height and others , who most often marched ... Peacefully --- maybe we in the 21st Century should gain strength from these stories of how these great people stood up f themselves, had the courage to […]

È partita la raccolta firme per il #referendum per abolire il finanziamento pubblico ai #giornali. La tentazione dell'adesione è forte, ma non so se cedere è un errore e queste campagne sono solo populiste. Il giornalismo è in crisi.

Last night I mentioned to my better half that there was a really good chance of separatist-leaning (if not fully blown separatists) right on our own street that we probably don't even know about.

Just now, I am in the house and I hear better half talking to someone outside. At first I thought it was a separatist canvasser because I heard bits of the conversation "... I think we will be better off separated... because of.... muslim... "

I looked out the window. It was a neighbourhood senior from a few doors down. Sigh... another [white] senior going against their own best interests, never mind the best interests of her neighbours (doesn't seem to be of any concern to separatists).

It's going to take a long time to right the boat here in Alberta...

Lawyer pushing for ad ban says Alberta premier exploiting loophole with referendum website
The province is prohibited from advertising or publishing certain info related to a referendum if it's taking place alongside an election — but not for stand-alone referendums.
