“Sacrifices, historically, are supposed to flow in the order of old to young, not young to old.” - this is ingrained in my every cell. When did this change?! Despicable. Covid was disgusting if only for this reason.

It really did change during Covid. Still not back to where it should be, at least in Canada. We haven’t properly punished our politicians for it — yet. Hard to believe.

Time to change that.

Amen, Alex. Thank you. I think we may be closer than is commonly assumed.

I hadn't heard of the Montreal screwjob but, like most of us, am far too familiar with the many previous Laurentian screwjobs! History may not repeat but it certainly rhymes. This boomer acknowledges the disgusting political behaviour of his generation (and those bracketing it) but I DO NOT and have not ever partake(n) in their foolishness. What I'm saying is #NotAllBoomers are the problem! I'm sure you knew that already. Keep up the good work Alex. #FactsOverFear

Thank you for this, Bill! Very much aware of #notallboomers, I do lament having to harp on this a bit, but that’s just how the demos are breaking down, and the scenes from Carney’s campaign rallies confirm that breakdown. Disappointed to see this Liberal-oriented crowd again lose their minds, but not surprised. He really is a walking talking social license for this crap to continue. We’ll all keep plugging away to turn the tide!
