This has to come out. We need to get all these threats out. He wants to “bring us to our knees”, he wants to “use economic force”. He wants our water, he wants our land, he wants our country. This is not bluster. These are the basis for acts of aggression.

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy.
SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

We have many options for making “good trouble” today. And when they call you “bad Catholics” for the good trouble you make, wear the label with pride. You aren’t the first Catholic troublemaker to stand up for justice. We pray you won’t be the last.

The Catholic tradition holds clearly that how we treat migrants is how we treat Christ as explained by Erga Migrantes Caritas Christi (issued under JP2)
Inhumane treatment of migrants and refugees would be like someone spitting on the Eucharist or insulting the Blessed mother.

No matter what type of union 47 might try to force, I will always have a tattoo of a Maple Leaf traced from a Molson label on my right thigh. The guy at the random tattoo place in Lloydminster wanted to be sure he got it right.

A Christianity that sees the world as being full of enemies to be conquered rather than full of neighbors to be loved is a Christianity that has stopped listening to Jesus along time ago.
There is only one right answer and it's where I worked in the summer of 1996, fielding inquiries from curious drivers such as "Why do you have the bust of a woman as your tourist booth?"

God help Canadian retailers trying to make heads or tails of the GST/HST holiday. Check out this gem from the new CRA guidance:
EXEMPT: Toys that either imitate another item, whether real or imaginary or involve building, creating or assembling structures, objects or models by using pieces, parts, materials or modelling compound
NOT EXEMPT: Toys and model sets that are marketed for adults (for example, adult Lego or train sets)
21 years ago Natalie Maines made a comment on a London stage and country radio still won't play The Chicks. But please, go on.

The idea that the only thing standing between a woman and an abortion is your vote for Donald Trump is mind-numbingly ridiculous.
Prolifers. You don’t have to be this way. You don’t have to choose a rapist. A eugenicist. An adulterer.
You don’t.

This is who Donald Trump and JD vance invited to speak at their rally.

Imagine thinking certain choreography at the Olympic ceremonies “mocked God,” but blatantly racist and demonizing rhetoric towards human beings created in God’s image, all met with thunderous applause from many who claim to be Christian at a rally, was somehow not “mocking God.”

I’ve been all over the country in the last month.
And I get asked the same question, over and over again:
“I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?”
Here is my answer:

American Catholic bishops: if you don't speak out now about the hateful, racist speeches at the NYC Trump rally now you will have ceded all credibility as a voice for morality in any shape. And don't expect to get the young people back in the Church; it won't happen. @USCCB

Two millennia later, people are still asking “Who is my neighbor?” hoping God will say “Just this small circle of people who are like you.”

I posted the below last night in an emotional mood. It was answered by many generous comments in remembrance of my lost Miranda, and I thank every commenter. Of course there were also some other comments. A thread about those....
The problem with adopting any parenting "philosophy" is that it almost always becomes more about adhering to the philosophy than figuring out what your child actually needs.
I wrote about something totally non-controversial that surely won’t make anyone mad: gentle parenting! theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
