Note: this is GENERATION, not capacity. This is huge news.

I have to say as an avid backpacker & someone who has actually looked at pond water under a microscope, even if I didn't "believe" in Giardia ... I'd still filter my water. 🤣🤣😵‍💫

* my bad it was 6 days. 🤣

It reminds me a lot of the dude that was drinking from ponds because he didn't believe in giardiasis & he was going to prove it by drinking from ponds every day until he got sick & he stopped posting after 8 days. 🤣 That's a true story BTW.

Anyway, for those that are actually aware, they count the time between those kinds sicknesses in years not weeks or months. Seems like useful knowledge. 🤷

It's just wild to me that pretty much every day I read about or hear people that seem completely un aware that we get sick from sharing contaminated air in poorly controlled situations & that we can actually do something about it.

A network of YouTube accounts is promoting U.S. annexation to Albertans, researchers say. It has 40M views Flagged as a "potential covert influence operation" in a new report, those behind the network are tough to trace.

New from @alexboyd.bsky.social:

BREAKING: Canadian Research Lab Just Identified US/MAGA Funded Network of 20 YouTube Accounts, 4,500 Videos, And 40 Million Views Pushing U.S. Annexation on Alberta. The accounts are more pro-annexation than the actual separatists. That, right there, is the tell.

The foreign psyops operation to promote the Donbas-style traitors in Ottawa is at work. This has Brexit style interference all over it. Will the government take steps to shut down the foreign threats to our nation?

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

There is a pretty massive difference between futures vs physical right now. It can't hold for ever.

Doug Ford recounts meeting Mark Carney: "The first thing he said, 'Premier, I'm more conservative than you.' And I said, 'Well, that's ironic, Prime Minister, because everyone accuses me of being a liberal.'"

Wow missed this.

Smith has never seen a wedge issue she doesn't want to champion. Corruption is much easier when people are fighting each other rather than paying attention.

My parents owned a used bookstore & I spent many many hours in there as a kid. They do tons of things to help their communities. My parents would sell used textbooks at cost to University students & so many other things. They had an area in the store where kids could come read for free.

Totally normal collapse of society stuff. 🙃

Corb Lund: Facts dispute industry claims on coal mining Opinion:

"We are being asked to accept permanent environmental damage, long‑term public liability and water risks that can't be engineered away, all to support an industry in structural decline that contributes little in royalties and is largely owned by foreign investors."You tell 'em,@corblund.bsky.social.
