For some reason I'm reminded of this New York Daily News headline of 30 October 1975, 50 years and 6 days ago. Today, NYC doesn't need a bailout - it's most of the rest of the country that needs help, if of a different kind.

From a January 1952 copy of True Story, a now-defunct women's magazine, this full-page The Little Woman comic harkens back to the day before seatbelts and airbags when not flying through the windshield in a collision required careful driving, unlike today.

Vancouver BC is having its own No Kings rally right down by the US consulate on Pender. There is little space down there, so it's a pretty terrible spot for a gathering - ideally, the street would have been closed, particularly as bumping a vehicle up a curb and into the crowd would be simple - we had a deadly instance of that just last month.

Ironically, we do have a king here.
