Uma das razões pelas quais é tão difícil vencer a extrema-direita com recurso à argumentação lógica e racional, é esta não se apoiar em factos; o seu alicerce são emoções primárias (medo, raiva, ...).

Canadian Author Lucy Maud Montgomery was born #OTD in 1874. Most of her novels were set on Prince Edward Island, and those locations within Canada's smallest province became a literary landmark and popular tourist site – namely Green Gables farm, the genesis of Prince Edward Island National Park.
