It’s exciting to learn that journalist, UofT faculty member, consultant, peace museum advocate Chris Houston produces a weekly peace-themed column for an independently owned paper, the Bancroft Times. The 28/01/25 article focuses on the harms caused to wellbeing, including peace, of US govt. policies and the clamour to increase military spending. https://chrishouston.ca/stories-of-peace/f/the-audacity-of-america
The article should be highlighted and discussed widely. Hopefully readers can help share it with news outlets and commentators, so we can better resist the slide into autocracy and violence.
Note: Jan wishes to acknowledge that it was author, activist Rivera Sun who alerted her to Chris’ work, through the Bluesky app. Jan agrees with Rivera that Bluesky seems to be a much healthier option for making connections than Twitter.
