Trump has merely accelerated a process that began in the 1980s. The integration of Ontario and Quebec into the US. He has also accelerated another process - the disintegration of the United States.

I liked the well dressed guy with a kaffiyeh who couldn't explain why Carney had done nothing to stop genocide in Gaza. Maybe class is the reason a guy like this is at a Liberal Party convention. Wouldn't blame him.

The federal system is broken however. Ontario has more in common with New York than BC. BC has more in common with Washington than Alberta. And Albets belongs witb Montana. And that's ok. Canada was a short lived colonial experiment
A network of 20 inauthentic YouTube accounts has racked up nearly 40 million views by peddling lies, grievance, division and narratives normalizing the prospect of Alberta’s secession and annexation by the United States. @charlesrusnell.bsky.social reports. #abpoli

Eby said in a podcast years back he was a federal Liberal before deciding to run for the BC NDP. And that's fair. I respect that. But I do not respect the failure to respect BC NDP values and principles. It's time @davidebybc.bsky.social stepped down and took a job in Ottawa.
Back to a time when Inverness was a bit of a mecca for enthusiasts! The Duffs were hammering up and down the Highland mainline, and the 37s were chugging along to Aberdeen and back. Not quite the same these days!

With the RMT Tube strike, it’s even busier than usual on London’s bike lanes.
Not all lines are impacted so check before you travel.
If you’re on a bike, take it easy & look out for others.

“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”
This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.

Today (April 20) is the 27th anniversary of Columbine.
I was a sophomore in high school when it happened, and I remember the school's response was to "ban trench coats." 🤔
People might kill people, but guns do it faster and more efficiently.
We needed gun control then and we need it now.

April 20. Then I came home and read and read
~Virginia Woolf (from her diaries)
Mysteries, Yes By Mary Oliver Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising. How two hands touch and the bonds will never be broken. How people come, from delight or the scars of damage, to the comfort of a poem. Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say "Look!" and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads.
Mysteries, Yes ~ Mary Oliver
