  @ajh It's shocking how little actual evidence is required to strip a person of liberty. We see it over and over again, in this case the long and inept arm of the law reached across an international border to trash an innocent's life. Facial recognition and automatic license plate reader cases get a lot of press these days, but it's a enduring issue. POC suffer more than most groups, but nobody is immune.

  Gloria Steinem was unarguably a feminist, but her vision was a gift to each and every one of us - in my opinion, literally no less to men than to women. That vision freed men to - for example - participate in family life more completely than was considered normal before her leadership showed us the way. In USA, we pay lip service to Liberty, but liberty isn't the right to behave exactly like everybody else - it's the right to make your own choices. And Steinem did more to make th...

  @campuscodi I'm old enough to remember when a post introduced with "This is totally unhinged" had to be read before you knew who the perp was going to be.

  CBC's Stephen Quinn talks with former mayor Larry Campbell - currently Downtown Eastside advisor - for about 8min. Campbell says some stuff that surprises me, such as that decriminalization didn't work and, in the fentanyl era, cannot work, and that he agrees with Sim that building more supportive housing in the neighbourhood is a poor use of resources. #Vancouver #BCPol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z1kzklElIg

  @SteveBellovin Eyes open that you have given this more thought that I have, but: Do we want military leaders driving political decisions? How has that worked out when practiced elsewhere?

Military people recognizing the limits of their expertise? Bravo.
