White privilege is explaining away Somali piracy as petty crime when it is actually a defense against THEIR governments dumping waste on the shores of fishermen whose family depends on the income from what they capture, which is nothing when all the fish have nuclear poisoning.

Thank you, President Obama.

If you are against the Enbridge pipeline, you are a “radical,” according to the Harper Government™.
Why yes, I am. Proudly.

Transit is important. It is more or less the veins of our cities, it allows us to get to place to place when we need to.
