Police violence at Standing Rock shows America still addicted to frontier justice | Oct 28 2016 | J. Baglow | Bundys get acquitted after seizing federal property with armed force. Standing Rock Indigenous people's protest is crushed without mercy. The contrast tells us much.
Bill Clinton displays corporate code for LGBTQ inclusion.
A tale of two foundations | Oct 28 2016 | Penney Kome | Hillary is pilloried for the Clinton Foundation -- currently treating 11 million AIDS patients -- while Trump's very personal foundation has gotten a pass.

To understand sexual assault, we still need to listen to Donald Trump | Oct 27 2016 | Lucia Lorenzi | Survivors, primarily women, have been speaking out about Trump and other sexually aggressive men for decades. Why is it that we don't pay attention until these men speak themselves?

AT&T merger with Time Warner would pose major threat to privacy and net neutrality | Oct 27 2016 | Amy Goodman, Denis Moynihan | If AT&T is allowed to buy Time Warner, it will form an enormous, "vertically integrated" company that controls a vast pool of content and how people access that content.

Lessons for Canada from a U.S. election that is indeed rigged | Oct 17 2016 | Karl Nerenberg | In Canada, we still have Harper's Fair Elections Act and electoral reform is still far from a reality. In the U.S., the system produces perverse incentives while depriving millions of the vote.
The new five letter word: Trump | Oct 15 2016 | Penney Kome | Candidate’s name moves from laughing stock to pejorative.

What's a mesmerized, terrified outsider to do about the U.S. election spectacle? | Oct 14 2016 | Rick Salutin | The main reason the "world" can't avert its eyes from the Trump drama isn't because it's imaginative and dazzling but because it's happening in a nation that has fateful impacts on everyone beyond it.

Canadians can be thankful for small, and probably temporary, mercies in wake of U.S. presidential debate | Oct 10 2016 | David J. Climenhaga | As ungentlemanly as it may seem, Canadian political parties that ignore U.S. trends in campaign strategy do so at their own peril.

As Hurricane Matthew hurtles toward Florida, climate change goes undebated in U.S. election | Oct 6 2016 | Amy Goodman, Denis Moynihan | Climate change is real, and it is worsening. That it should play a central role in the U.S. elections is undebatable.

U.S. liberals have long history of punishing not-quite-left enough candidates. This time the world can't afford it | Oct 5 2016 | Gerry Caplan | If Trump hasn't by now traumatized you enough to get on board for Hillary, you'll deserve everything that's coming after November.
