These terrible truths explode in our faces like mines buried on a battlefield as we traverse the disconsolate pages. An accomplished and honoured journalist (author of Seven Fallen Feathers: Racism, Death, and Hard Truths in a Northern City [2017]), Talaga writes with acid dripping from her pen.

The silly season starts earlier and earlier -- kinda like how I went into the grocery store a few weeks ago and the "seasonal" isle was already stocked with Halloween candy instead of barbecue utensils and sunscreen -- and here we are at C99, trying to convince each other to throw our passion and money behind of one of way-too-many Clown Car Candidates who will supposedly act in our honest-to-goodness best interests instead of trying to coalesce around some kind of strategy that will enact re
