I can't get the beautiful face of this child out of my mind. I wish I could make Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre read this story. I wish I thought that it would make a difference if they did. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/nex-benedict-dead-oklahoma-b2499332.html #Nex #NexBenedict #TransRightsareHumanRights #ProtectTransKids #Oklahoma #Alberta #Canada #abpoli #cdnpoli
Alberta is back on the oil and gas chain gang until 2050 folks.
There's not a shred of innovative thinking in this UCP government budget.
Listen, there is a lot to learn from knowing history, but when your budget speech video cutaways are to black and white film footage from a bygone era, it's pretty clear you have nothing new on offer.
Alberta's governing party has put together a tragic line-up of speakers representing anti-vaccination, revenge-seeking, convoy-organizing, Christian nationalism. Not to mention lobbyists who want to dismantle public education (see Joshua generation) and an anti-queer former UCP who spread misinformation.
It's all going down at a discount movie theatre whose owners make no apologies. Have some hateful rhetoric with your buttery popcorn, y’all.
This is literal doom, but I actually find it mildly encouraging that our security and government services are being told the truth about the current state of the nation, society, and world. This is the kind of report that every single politician needs to not only read but *really* *understand*.
Quotes below:
"The situation will probably deteriorate further in the next five years, as the early effects of climate change and a global recession add their weight to the ongoing crises"
"accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations"
"the difference between the extremes of wealth is greater now in developed countries than it has been at any time in several generations"
"many Canadians under 35 are unlikely ever to be able to buy a place to live."
"Law enforcement should expect continuing social and political polarization fueled by misinformation campaigns and an increasing mistrust for all democratic institutions"
"Access to [big data] will allow private entities to develop the means to exercise undue influence over individuals and populations at an unprecedented level"
"In the wake of COVID-19, Canada's governments have normalized operating during a respiratory pandemic... the damage to the economy and to the social fabric of the nation is ongoing"

Today, in 🇨🇦 House of Commons, Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre was given an opportunity to denounce the white supremacists he's met with and the recent endorsement of RW conspiracy theorist & Sandy Hook school massacre denier, Alex Jones.
He chose not to.
"If there was any doubt remaining that Alberta's nearly seven-month moratorium on renewable-energy projects was a political decision — made in the halls of power rather than in the offices of expertise — it was erased by internal documents released to the public last week."
My latest analysis for CBC, based on original reporting by @drewanderson for @thenarwhal

My cup overflows with anger toward these lying, deceiving, murderous, oil and gas companies. So this morning, I did something I've never done before in hopes the people coming home from their long weekends in Tofino and Ucluelet get the message.
Please Boost.

Have a look at these two items and weigh in:
Who sounds more an honest authentic journalist and who more like a fact-free management sock puppet terrified of well-funded Israeli extremists, lobbyists, shadow influencers, and his own corrupt corporate and political masters?

This Canadian Member of Parliament asked ChatGPT for a list of capital gains tax rates by country, got a nonsense answer, screenshotted it, and then tweeted the incorrect information.
(He later deleted the tweet.)
Friends had a dinner for extended family last week. Every single person in attendance got infected with #COVID. That's from young children to grandparents. Yes, there is still a pandemic and this highly infectious disease can also result in incurable #LongCovid
Hey everyone, I just moved from another instance, so it's time for a new #Introduction.
I'm an educator with a background in psychology and science, who currently runs a small biz with my love @RandomCanuck.
Love dogs, dance, yoga, and tech.
My happy place is on a trail in beautiful BC.
Alum UWaterloo and UWO.
Trying to stay grounded and optimistic in these weird and dangerous times.

So, having given vent to my political id lately, why quit?
I have many contrary thoughts.
(I have no Indigenous blood, yet the concept of certain difficult people being valued as ‘Contraries’ has long resonated with me; I read of it ages ago in relation to a then-extant plains/southwest people; I feel one of them.)
Anyway, the contrary thought.
We know the #CBC has turned shit.
It’s been pumping out #Poilievre garbage without shame for weeks now.

OMFG!! I have seen diplomatic cables criticizing allies on policies and messaging, I have seen (even helped write) speeches that laid out the 'slight differences' with close neighbours
I have NEVER seen this, during an election campaign - this would have been approved right up to cabinet and the PM's office - it's actual cannon fire
