Feb 28th 2025 - Economic Blackout
Introduction Today there has been a call to not spend money or use Social Media, especially Facebook and anything that carries advertising. We are fine to use small businesses, but Amazon, Walmart and the big ones are to be boycotted.

Selective Justice: The World's Indifference to Christian Persecution in Africa.
Something deeply troubling is happening in parts of Africa, but hardly anyone is talking about it. In places like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Nigeria, and Burkina Faso, Christians are being slaughtered, kidnapped, and driven from their homes. Just recently, seventy Christians were beheaded in the DRC by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a group linked to ISIS. It was a horrifying act of brutality, yet the world barely blinked.

Stuck in Another Pointless DEI Training
The workplace. You know it. The one from your job. Where you go every day to clock in, nod through meetings, and pretend to be busy when your boss walks by. Or maybe you’re like me and it's just another one of those places where you have to pretend you don’t notice that you're the only person of color in the room. I mean sure, you’ve been doing it so long that now it comes to you fairly naturally, or maybe it's just a flickering thought that barely registers anymore. That is until that staff-wide HR meeting where they announce an addition to their annual ‘How to Act in the Workplace’ training. And you get excited because maybe it's finally that workshop that tells us how to exist in these spaces without the constant, unspoken weirdness (I’m not the only one who feels that right?). But then you hear it, those dreaded three letters: DEI.

Women's Work Hidden by Patriarchy and Capitalism: Honoring Historical Craftsmanship Contributions
We exist in a time when the gender pay gap is expanding. Recent studies indicate that women earn less than men, and the pandemic has exacerbated the pay gap in various nations. This disparity continues because there are fewer women in high-paying leadership roles and because women predominantly work in lower-paying industries. Yet, there are even more subtle and harsh reasons contributing to the gender pay gap. Historically, women’s work has been undervalued, resulting in unequal pay for comparable jobs between genders. Although this practice is gradually decreasing, it still exists.

Lapdogs vs. Watchdogs
What a week. I am up in Montréal, safely across the border from those nasty Americans and their wicked ways. The groundhogs have spoken...and we cannot make up our minds about it. The tariffs were dropped this weekend and officially, we are in the middle of a trade war. This feels like it will continue for some time since the chief occupier of the Oval Office only has two modes: you either win or you lose (his multiple bankruptcies seem to confirm this theory). And he does not want to face the truth: one of the countries he decided to hit over the nose with a newspaper is not as kind as he proposed.

President Trump Signs Order to Send Migrants to Guantánamo Bay A Controversial Move in 2025.
President Trump Signs Order to Send Migrants to Guantánamo Bay A Controversial Move in 2025. In a move that has sparked widespread debate and condemnation former President Donald Trump now back in office has signed an executive order authorizing the transfer of certain migrants to the U.S naval base at Guantánamo Bay Cuba. The order announced on January 29/2025 marks a significant escalation in the Trump administration's immigration policies and reignites discussions about human rights national security and the rule of law. The executive order targets migrants who are deemed high risk or potential threats to national security. According to the Trump administration this includes individuals with suspected ties to criminal organizations terrorist groups or those who have been involved in violent activities. The order also applies to migrants who have entered the U.S illegally and are awaiting deportation proceedings. Guantánamo Bay long associated with the detention of terrorism suspects will now serve as a holding facility for these migrants. The administration argues that the base's remote location and existing infrastructure make it an ideal site for detaining individuals who pose a security risk. However critics argue that the move is a blatant violation of international law and human rights standards.

Trump’s Mysterious ‘Giant Faucet’ in California: Misunderstanding or Bold Vision?
Former President Donald Trump has long been vocal about California’s water management policies, frequently calling on the state to “turn on the giant faucet.” His repeated use of terms like “spigot,” “faucet,” and “valve” has left many Californians and even Canadians puzzled. While his statements might seem perplexing, they stem from ongoing debates surrounding California’s water distribution system, agricultural water needs, and environmental regulations.

Presidential Pardons: A Reflection of Distrust and a Fragile Justice System
Presidential pardons have always been a powerful tool, allowing leaders to grant clemency, correct legal misjudgments, and, at times, make political statements. However, the recent pardons issued by former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden highlight not just their differing political philosophies but also their deep distrust of each other and the fragile state of the U.S. criminal justice system. These pardons raise critical questions about the fairness of justice, political motivations, and the broad powers of the executive branch.
