Bothered Boy

While Biden tripping and falling down the stairs to Air Force One is in the news, a $2 billion package for new permanent Capitol fencing and security personnel in D.C. is not. So much other news is being missed and that's a problem.

Within 48 hours, there has been a troubling string of violence or attempted violence by White Trump supporters. The atrocious hate crime in Atlanta, the bombs in Brevard, and an armed man arrested outside Kamala Harris' residence. It's high time for America to admit it has a White Terrorism problem.

WHY IS THIS STILL A THING THAT WE DO?!?!

A large Amazon fulfillment Centre in Brampton has been ordered to cease all operations and all workers must self-isolate as part of an ongoing Peel Public Health investigation into COVID-19 cases inside. Amazon Canada is appealing the decision, and all workers must self isolate until March 27. What kind of support will they get?
