What’s in an (Indigenous) Name? Canada’s Latest Scandal. It's not just renaming streets to some unpronouncable name (which costs money to change signs, stationery), but also the revocation of land ownership. People in Richmond thought they owned their land. Not anymore! Too bad. Their land is now Indian-owned. Who thought that this was a good idea?

How to disable ACR on your TV. I don't have a "smart TV" so I don't have to worry, but think of all those people who do, who have activated their "Automatic Content Recognition" software. Such a breach of privacy to have someone else monitor what shows you watch.

Oregon’s unemployment rate hits 5.2% in September, 1% higher than this time last year. The Oregonian used to report the unemployment percent at 4% all the time.
