The casual, obvious lie, which is what this is, is always revealing. It’s happens like if someone feels entitled to lie because their supporters love the lie, or they believe that lying can’t keep them from winning. If media overlook it, the behaviour just becomes more common

Trudeau & the NDP will ban all hunting rifles if they are re-elected.

At 2:20 p.m. on this day in 2021, the Capitol went into lockdown. Around this time, Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman diverted extremists who were steps from the Senate Chamber where members of Congress were still inside. The officers of the United States Capitol Police risked their own lives to save the lives of others. These heroes and patriots sacrificed so much to defend our nation, and in securing our Capitol, they secured our democracy.

Children born in 2020 can't influence decision-makers. But we can. Start thinking like 3-year olds who can see what's in store for them.

Dad, What's a tax? Son, It's how we pay for hospitals and roads and police and schools and universities and defence and lots of other things! It costs us less when we all share the costs, and means we can have services and opportunities that we couldn't afford otherwise.
