MP Johns stays late to hold the government to account on the proposed pipeline YouTube video by Gord Johns

MP @gordjohns.bsky.social grilling the liberals over the MOU and oil & gas subsidies tonight in the House..

The local legend who had a giant fish on the roof of his Croydon home John Gladden was described as "larger than life", and for good reason

it's just so typical and lame. I gotta log off in case I have any shreds of faith in humanity left..

Before I go.. I remember this one from the 90s

Mask off moment. This is the also why they are in no rush to solve the climate crisis: they want the death.

I mean, they know about it, and they keep causing it, so..

oh for fuck sake

smart.

MAHA's leaders claim they want to end sickness, but they intend to do it by ending chronically ill and disabled people's access to the care that keeps us alive.

The MAHA plan for ending chronic illness is simply ending chronically ill people.🧵

@mark-carney.bsky.social If Canada still maintains diplomatic relations and trade with genocidal warmongering Israel, what do we even stand for as a country? It’s been 2.5 years of atrocities committed in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria and Canada is still only “concerned”. We look complicit.

What is an HOA?

Wrong. The Genocide Convention specifically obliges parties to "undertake to prevent and to punish" the crime of genocide (Article 1), and the crime of genocide includes "complicity" in genocide (article 3(e).
So there is an obligation to prosecute; states, leaders, corporations, and individuals.

Yes.

The global approach seems to be "if we all do it no one can say it's wrong."

We should all be furious, and force Canada and the provinces to investigate, divest, and charge where appropriate.

Former Conservative leader explains why he joined Mark Carney’s trade advisory council Erin O'Toole said his decision was driven by his desire to bring his business and defence sector expertise to discussions on Canada's economic relationship with the United States.

Because.. Mark Carney is conservative?

.. we go on doing business with all the companies implicated, no investigations, no public announcements that they've been cleared of wrongdoing, just the hope (by those in power) that we'll forget, give up, or get distracted by shiny baubels.

Any serious talk on here about the Epstein files seems to be back in the "ignore" category.
It's very concerning, as the crimes are deep in our society, horrible, and clearly designed to support the oppression of women and encourage othering in every way.
Nothing has been done in Canada..

cue the "interesting chats"!

I still find gifts from him - realisations or truths, lessons. I still grieve, all these years later, and miss them, but, here I'll get a little woo woo - I've come to feel like the timing of their deaths, my Dad in particular, was timed to shake me up. An accident or a harsh gift, who knows.

.. single backpack of stuff. Chasing a dream.
My brother and I each separately referred to the years after Dad died as "the fire," as if our stuff, relationships, etc, had been lost in a fire. They hadn't. For me the fire was the decision that I was going to make a new life - no matter the cost.

.. trying to make a better world for the future, having a family of my own. That's my life now, which I'm so incredibly grateful for. My Dad died in 2001.
I could never have made this new life if I had clung on to the past. At one point I moved from one city to another with a Honda civic and a..

Yeah! In the spirit of being too open, the ripping apart part; got divorced, moved across the country on my own (far from family and friends), abandoned relationships and possessions which tied me to a place, lived in poverty.
The reason: my compass pointed to a new dream, practicing enviro law,..

Dear leaders of CANADA. We, the owners, DO NOT WANT PALANTIR Technology in this COUNTRY. PERIOD.

That's what my Dad's death did for me, my inner compass turned, as I was reminded what really matters.. I subsequently ripped my life apart and started over. What I rebuilt was so much better.
Hope your journey of grief continues as both sorrow, and finding all the gifts he left for you.

Sam Altman should still get a cut though, right?

the present is too terrifying for children.

*my girls like this song because it opens with "shithouse," and they like anything with swearing, because, even though they were born in BC, they are 50% Nova Scotian.

I try to teach them about the world, fascism, history, and the long arc of justice, with stuff from the past, not the present.

I had to explain to the girls, driving and listening to this song the other day, that apartheid was going on then, but no one was supposed to say anything about it, rock the boat, or "bug people."

6 years later apartheid fell, due to the enormous sacrifices of so many. And the voices of so many.

But we can do something. We can force our governments to divest. It didn't happen easy with apartheid South Africa either, governments were refusing to budge, and then...

I remember when Rattle and Hum came out, I was 16 or so.. Bono saying, "I don't mean to bug ya.."
