Canada needs to do a better job of taking care of its citizens.
Leaving it to market forces only benefits the wealthy and the government has an obligation to all of its citizens, not just the rich ones who buy access to corrupt politicians #inequality #austerity

April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow…

Thought provoking article.
Athens in the Sicilian Expedition and Europe in World War I mistook capability and speed for strategy and acted without true judgment about ends or reality.
Because we can execute precisely, we assume we are acting strategically.

About 33 % of global seaborne fertilizer and nearly 50 % of urea and sulphur exports move through the Strait of Hormuz. A sustained disruption could threaten food production for roughly half the world’s population dependent on synthetic fertilizers.

To be fair, PP dismal failings at the polls and lacklustre weak performance is likely due to Carney so he is right about that, at least.
Ironic that right wing fascists are quoting a speech from Churchill about fighting Nazis.
Its easy to quote historical figures when you are dumb and don’t know history.

It is worth noting that of the 8 major Crusades undertaken by Latin Christian forces in the region known today as the Middle East, only the First Crusade achieved a lasting military success, while the remaining 7 expeditions failed to secure or maintain their objectives.

All of these people are fully vaccinated.
All of their families and their children are fully vaccinated.
They foster distrust in healthcare to weaken independent expert authority, control narratives, reduce accountability, and divide the public. #medialiteracy #CriticalThinking
No, we should have enough family doctors so this headline about rationing health care never appears again.

The grassy expanse of a park with filled with small white flowers.
Another view of the park where at a distance the spring beauties appear to be almost solid white.
Happy Easter to all who celebrate it. Here's one my favorite rites of spring: the carpeting of Donner Park in Columbus, #Indiana with spring beauties.

Like sprawling suburban real estate developments with streets named Wildflower Lane and White Birch Way, modern capitalists paradoxically name their products after the things that they destroy.
After the ”development”, there are no more wildflowers or white birch.
bye bye tide pools….

Fitting fake image for fake history. Real story:
When immigrant miners arrived during what was to be called the "1858 Fraser River Gold Rush", they entered ʔElhdaqox and Stó:lō lands, disrupting resources, imposing colonial control, and displacing pre-existing indigenous communities.

A faux tilt shift from the Abbey in Montserrat showing the rack track into the outskirts. The famous mountain peaks are blurred in the background.
Inspired by some others this morning.
A faux tilt-shift using Affinity Photo. The shooting angle of the original photo is very important to get the effect just right. Not as good as the actual tilt shift lens but I love the effect ❤️ #ECK
Any update on frozen concentrated orange juice futures?
Yes but institutions will purchase thousands of copies and this will ensure it gets on the "NYTimes bestseller" list.
They don't care if anyone reads it, it's a way to funnel money to corrupt politicians.
Like that academy award winning documentary on Melania /s
Faith? As in Catholic faith? umm... no. His policies are literally antithetical to Catholicism and he should be excommunicated.
And "book releases" are a way for corporations to funnel money to politicians without all those pesky ethical rules and outdated concepts of "accountability".
❤️ At first glance I thought that this was an urban painting by Maurice Cullen! @photoblair.bsky.social
Mussolini’s punctual trains were cosmetic: new stations and glossy timetables hid inefficiency. The real winners? Contractors, industrialists, and party cronies who pocketed state funds, while ordinary Italians paid with taxes: efficiency for the elite, theatre for the rest.
History rhymes. 👍
TY! love the modesty and reserve of the two fingers to the face!
I heard a speech from Lewis at Carleton University decades ago that changed the way I think about our obligations to each other. Great speaker! He was an inspiration. RIP
They want you focused on Trump and Epstein so that when he is inevitably gone the Republican Party and the oligarchs can redeem themselves.
We know that raping and murdering children is okay with Conservatives and most Americans. They pretend and wont admit it, but they elected this guy twice.
