Right now the Trump message on Iran is dominating. The Democrats are awol and when they speak up it is very weak. The only reason the war is a no sell is the public, not the Dems.

“With extreme emotions and excellent sound design and editing, #Sirat is a magnificent feat of genre filmmaking that demands the theatrical experience.”

Parlons de violence étatique – The Rover En 2026, les prestations d’assistance sociale demeurent largement inférieures au minimum reconnu pour vivre au Québec.

La mesure du panier de consommation établit le seuil minimal permettant de couvrir les dépenses essentielles. Pourtant, les prestations versées aux personnes à l’assistance sociale demeurent bien en dessous de ce plancher reconnu par l’État lui-même.
