You've fathomed the reptilian brain.

It's that very mean-spirited stoking that becomes something of an end unto itself. Sure, punditry finds many reasons, after the fact, why Trump trounced the Democrats. If there's one good thing to come out of it all, it's that America may have avoided another insurrection, and that inclination...

It has something to do with a patriarchy bias in the US, which a lot of women support it seems. The struggle for abortion rights is a visible aspect of a rebellion against a deep-seated male primacy element in America. It's all well advocating for women to have authority over their body, but it...

What a gorgeous view of Toronto Islands - my mothers birthplace.

And apparently, many American women will accept a paternalistic, racist in charge. Talk about value systems - generally people are willing to accept the tyranny they're comfortable with .

I admit I don't have the facts of where the votes came from. But, I have a feeling that this election result had something to do about gender. Those Americans of all stripes who voted were clear in their support for Trump - a disaster for the Democrats. As an aside, the DJIA was up 3.18 % last...

No, but I could.

Murray Sinclair passed away this morning at age 73. A remarkable man who was most influential in delivering the Truth and Reconciliation document.

This is about foisting a name on the majority. Are we going to have catchy indigenous phrase-names henceforth for new parkland to assuage the guilt of the settler population ? I'm amused when people believe this line of questioning to be colonial/settler/racist. As an aside , I'm proud of my...

I think if you feed a lot of sugar, the outcome is predictable. The society you describe mirrors a well-known, and growing, malady.

I agree with your sentiments entirely. Who decides this naming business ? And why do we really need another name for the area in question. Has there been any public input on this ? The naming of Sankofa Square should have been lesson enough.

The mere presence of a Donald Trump vying and lying for the Presidency, shows how far the vaunted Republic has fallen. Half of the American public wonder what the hell is going on.

That's the point really - there aren't so bad nasty as they are a massive under - achievement for such a "signature" location, aesthetically speaking at least.

In baseball, it's called a wild pitch.

Another factor is, there might still be a bias against a woman who also is not white becoming the president . It used to be that gravitas was important, but this appears to be unimportant now with the ascendant buffoonery of Trump. I remember when he was first elected, some people said give him...

You really have to wonder why half the American population can support this man. Make America Stupid Again. He does love the uneducated.

I'm pretty sure that the Trudeau version of the obscenity comes with black pickup trucks. I'm seeing them, honestly.

Good points made, as usual Northern Light. Personally, I hope that people truly unimpressed with Ford vote in higher numbers than the last election . I don't know if Ford supporters vote in higher numbers, but either way, the the electorate needs to step up. If there were a much better voter...

Dumb, and dumber, and dumber. Through in a touch of corruption, and presto - 3 terms ! Is this what becomes of an electorate in these times ?
