    1. I live in NJ (for now), and there was way more enthusiasm for the R candidate this time around than when he ran four years ago, so this huge win by Sherrill is totally inexplicable.

  1. Jamie Sarkonak: The poppy is above politics. Banning it from courtrooms is shameful

    Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan are the prime offenders.

    The courts, oddly enough, are perfectly fine engaging in what most would consider political speech on other topics, however. Nova Scotia’s highest court “welcomes” lawyers to introduce themselves with their pronouns,… so does King’s Bench in Saskatchewan and all of Ontario’s courts. In B.C.’s provincial court, the rule is that lawyers “should” provide pronouns before speaking.

    1. Well Stevie … your town is just as infected as the Castro or West Hollywood. Congrats on making the BIG TIME!
