A Canadian journalism community for independent news, reports, blogs, editorials, and whatever.

Be cool to each other. Instance rules apply.
All posts should link to a current*, independent* blog, article, editorial, listicle, research paper, or something that can be considered “news from Canada."
Post title should be the article title or best fit.
No misinformation or bigotry.
For paywalled media, please provide an archived link in the text body of the post.
Tag [NSFW] and [Content Warning - x] at your discretion. Use [E-mail required] if an e-mail is needed to sign in.
Commenters who don’t read the posted article may receive temporary bans. This is a community for informed discussion.
This instance has no rules against calls to violence, please don't report general wishes for violence. I will moderate direct implications of violence (i.e. I will shoot x person in the head) at my discretion.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests, and not controlled by a major media conglomerate. “Independence” is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.

*All souces must be based in Canada but do not need to be about Canada.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt, add the publishing or last revision date to the title in a tag [like this.]

In the summer of 2016, I was living in Washington, DC, and working at The Atlantic, both places that were consumed with the presidential election later that year. The conventional wisdom—backed up by polling, news coverage, and rationality—was that Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump. At a work happy hour one evening, I remember talking with one of my then bosses about what might actually change under a Clinton administration. Pragmatically, the answer was: nothing much. Emotionally, though, the stakes felt astronomical. I can remember arguing that Clinton’s inauguration would upend the way America thought about women—that seeing a woman elevated to the most powerful job in the world would overwrite decades of conditioning about who was allowed to have authority and what might be possible. The shifts would be seismic, I argued, even if they weren’t immediately obvious. This was a moment when progress still felt inevitable.

Sexism was a part but was not the reason people didn't vote at all. I think if Hilary and Kamala stood firm against Republicans and Israel they would have won.
