Conservatives are the real campus thought police squashing academic freedom - The Washington Post
Conservatives are the real campus thought police squashing academic freedom - The Washington Post:
Last week, I sent a string of relatively uncontroversial tweets in the aftermath of the Las Vegas massacre, in which I sought to answer a question about mass shootings in the United States: Why are these crimes almost always carried out by white men? “It’s the white supremacist patriarchy, stupid,” I tweeted, before then diagnosing a sense of double entitlement — as white people and as men — that, when frustrated, can occasionally lead to violent consequences.

How the CBC Can Save News in Canada | The Tyee
How the CBC Can Save News in Canada | The Tyee:
The solution that satisfies the needs of most parties involved begins with forbidding the CBC from selling advertising slots on TV or online, as is already the case in radio. That amounts to an estimated $400-million revenue reduction annually. In order to avoid cuts, that should be replaced with $400 million more in federal funding.

A Lesson on Slavery for White America
A Lesson on Slavery for White America:
Let there be no mistake. Here is an unchanging fact of history: The Southern Confederacy was formed to preserve, by any means necessary, the vicious, arch-racist, torture and exploitation regime that was black chattel slavery. The Confederacy was a secession government formed by Southern states whose ruling elites had determined that the election of Abraham Lincoln spelled the demise of their beloved slave system. These states openly collaborated to commit treason, taking up arms against “our great country” in order to save slavery.

Canada Doesn’t Know How to Party - The New York Times
Canada Doesn’t Know How to Party - The New York Times:
Canada’s reluctance to celebrate itself is actually something worth celebrating. It has become abundantly clear in 2017 that patriotism is for losers. Patriotism is for people and for countries that need to justify their existence through symbols rather than achievements. Canada is doing well enough that it doesn’t require spackled vanity. It doesn’t need six-story-high rubber ducks.
