A Slice Of Life
The Hungry Country
One night while digging through some of my own family history, I came across a copy of my great-great-great grandfather’s diary. One the pages, aptly titled “I Shot a Man for Seventy-Five Cents,” instantly caught my eye. It’s not every day you find one of your family’s great patriarchs nearly killed a man over some pocket change.
Now this story is every bit as hair-raising as it sounds—and I’m half-tempted to share it—but for now let’s just say that it piqued my curiosity. For the better part of an evening, I pored over page after page of this diary, eager to know my grandfather and better understand what made him into the tenacious man he was.

Why are progressives so afraid of Right-wing comedy?
‘The mere mention of right-wing comedy provoked raised eyebrows and dropped jaws during our countless Zoom calls throughout the pandemic,’ write Matt Sienkiewicz and Nick Marx in their new book That’s Not Funny: How the Right Makes Comedy Work For Them. “We were, it seemed to many, playing with an obvious oxymoron.”
Sienkiewicz and Marx disagree, though. Their contention is that Right-wing humour is a force to be reckoned with. “Closing our eyes,” they write, “doesn’t make the monster go away.”

Canadian police arrested one of the most high-profile leaders of the Freedom Convoy on Thursday afternoon, hours after Ottawa police warned protesters that they had to move their trucks from the center of the capital.
Chris Barber is being held in custody and is expected to face criminal charges, CBC reported.
Barber, a truck driver who led the Saskatchewan portion of the protest convoy that has been in Ottawa for the last three weeks, was walking down the street with several friends when police detained him.

The sweet smell of freedom emanating from the streets of Ottawa is about to get a whole lot sweeter.
That’s because these fine Polish women just arrived on the scene with 1,550 Polish sausages, buns, bread, and hundreds of doughnuts for the truckers who continue to flood the streets of Ottawa in protest of vaccine mandates.
These ladies drove for four and a half hours from their store in Toronto—280 MILES—to bring food to these hungry fed-up truckers.
