Umm... Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's an original NYT op-ed written by someone they are funding through a fellowship. So the NYT is the point of origin.

Right you are, I was was trying to make another point but SNAFU'd my intent. My point was rather that just don't consider who said something last and pass judgement but to weigh the statement on it's own merits, and it's origins.

(I tried posting this last night but something fouled up and my replay disappeared, probably from my end, sorry.)

It's the disparity of air pollution sufferers that is a giggle.

If they decided that air pollution will now their latest grievance, then shouldn't they should be more angry at all the freeways that were rammed through their neighbourhoods?

I'm pretty sure they are.

Planes will stop, cars maybe not.

Any visitor to Windsor Castle will attest that the Queen gets more than her share of low altitude airline passovers. If roaring planes are good enough for Liz, they're good enough for the citizenry.

BLACK LIVES MATTER DISRUPTS 9/11 COMMEMORATION BY PROTESTING FOR MUSLIMS
Vile racist hate group Black Lives Matter is at it again. After attacking everything from cafes where white people eat (aka "white spaces") to the Thanksgiving Day parade, the radical anti-American group was bound to target 9/11. And they did not disappoint.

I know it's the Toronto Sun... but conflict of interest anyone?

York University student union donations to Black Lives Matter ignites controversy

A founding member of Black Lives Matter — Toronto is facing conflict-of-interest allegations after the York Federation of Students donated thousands of dollars to the activist group.

Alexandria Williams, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter — Toronto (BLM), is also Vice-President Equity for York University’s student union.

During her tenure on the executive, the York Federation of Students (YFS) made two donations to BLM, totalling $7500.

Williams moved the resolution that triggered the second donation.

Ties into how Sandra Hudson billed hundreds of hours of overtime (resulting in a grand total of a quarter of a million dollars paid out) to the U of T student union as well.

Really, really good explainer on the Milwaukee situation. I'm still sticking with the Ferguson example until proven otherwise. I wonder if we'll see any footage (police cams or bystanders) of this takedown.

Also -- Vox' numbers on the racial breakdown of police killings is horrifying.

Seriously? You're using Vox as your source? That news source, if you could call it that, makes the Toronto Sun look like first rate journalism.

Did you read the piece, or just dismiss it?

C'mon, WK. That's an inoffensive article about a progressive day camp with great lunches. What would were you expecting?

When you send your kid to the Jewish summer camp, or the Athletics summer camp, or the Christian summer camp, or the all-white-boys-go-canoeing summer camp, how is that different? (Other that your distaste of BLM, of course.)
