THEY DON'T WANT TO KILL US ALL, AT LEAST FOR NOWAt the Editorial Board, John Stoehr interviews Duke University's Gabriel Rosenberg, a professor of gender, sexuality and feminist studies, who believes that the right's frequent "groomer" accusations are more than a standard-issue political attack: ... “groomer speech” is distinguishable from “subjugating speech.” “Subjugating speech” might incite violence. It’s possible. It has before. But broadly, it’s intended to justify social and political inequalities. “Pedophile” is a specific term, however. It carries, at least in rightwing communities, a claim that the individual in questi... read more

Page On The Budget
Former Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page has weighed in on the budget: Budget 2022 is surprisingly measured, modest and responsible. Many budget observers had early expectations and concerns about a big- spending budget financed largely through higher deficits. These expectations were fueled by the recent Liberal-NDP agreement on priorities and policies, as well as pressures to increase defence spending towards NATO targets. In the current environment, more deficit spending focused on boosting consumption (demand) versus investment (supply) would add to inflation. Business ... read more
