"We have a choice to make and it seems to me that it’s an obvious one. A neuropsychiatrist put it this way a few months ago when President Biden was still in the race: The difference between President Biden and Donald Trump is that the former is aging while the latter is dementing."

"As Trump slides in the polls, he is increasingly focusing his campaign on demonizing immigrants, much more than talking about the economy, or any other issue. That’s dangerous, because his fake data about immigration, amplified by Fox News and other right-wing media, may foster more racial discrimination and hate crimes."
~ Andres Oppenheimer

It's important to be aware that a lot of trolling accounts disguise themselves as something/somebody other than who they actually are. They try to bait us into futile discussions of issues that are imporant – but that they themselves don't intend to discuss, since discussion is not their goal.
Above all, their goal is to sow confusion, spread disinformation, and divide in order to conquer. We must not let folks like this win.
Trolls are out and about now on social media, more active than I've seen them of late. Several reasons:
1. The 2024 election in the US, with enormous consequences hinging on it, will bring them out more and more.
2. Putin and his US fangirl Marjorie Taylor Greene (i.e., MAGA itself) just got handed a humiliating defeat.
3. The Orange One is on trial, has to sit in a courtroom and keep his big mouth shut.

"President Biden would claim, with cause, that Republicans want border chaos as an election issue rather than solving the problem. Voter anger may over time move from Mr. Biden to the GOP, and the public will have a point. Cynical is the only word that fits Republicans panning a border deal whose details aren’t even known.”

"Biden seems to be signaling that if the Republicans kill this measure, they will own the border issue, but he is not the only one making that argument. Yesterday the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, which slants toward the right, wrote: '[G]iving up on a border security bill would be a self-inflicted GOP wound."

"Fascism is on the ballot. And I think that was clear in New Hampshire. …
We need to see how the movement is growing, how the movement is mutating, how it’s taking the original fear of Islam that it began with and adding more and more fears, and then combining them so that they’re indistinguishable in the mind of the Trump voter."

"An official document that was issued by the #GovernmentOfQuebec should always be accepted by the government of #Quebec," says #Liberal #MNA #MadwaNikaCadet.
Two Quebec Liberal MNAs have written to the minister responsible for the #French #language urging the #CAQ government of Premier #FrançoisLegault to rethink a directive that rejects official certificates that were issued by the province in #English prior to the adoption of #Bill96.
Hung up on by the #RAMQ for speaking #English.
#Quebec promised #Bill96 wouldn't affect access to #HealthCare. Turns out "health care" doesn't include #PublicHealthInsurance.
I believe you've gotten to the crux of the matter: stressed and underfunded, a situation brought about by the #Quebec government, which can be resolved by that same government, yet chooses not to.
Addressing it would first require the #CAQ to admit they have their priorities wrong, and that's not likely to happen. Priorities should be #Health and #Education, not #Language and #Immigration
