ICYMI this week ...
A weekly round-up of headlines from the Daily News podcast
We are already through the first week of July (my god…) and so, what better time to return to what sounds like the worst Canada Day in Canada. Jeremy Appel spent it at an Alberta Separatist party, which featured a fascist from Germany. Jeremy wrote about his experience at his blog, which I encourage you to check out.
