Incredible this is what they come up with. You don't even need a giant imagination for basic stuff like "let's use this windfall to invest in clean energy". Alberta is the only place in the world that has this kind of brain worms.

social housing units built by year in Canada, 1972-2010

- by number of units
- as % of all housing built

I learned a lot in the research for this and I'm proud of the episode we put together. Reactionary cultural framing of childhood and family life can make it hard to talk about trans issues productively w/o unpacking a lot of that first. We try to do that here.

She Spoke Out About Gaza. Now She Can’t Use a Credit Card. After accusing governments and corporations of complicity in Gaza, the U.N. investigator for Palestine territories now finds herself in Washington’s crosshairs.

Francesca Albanese has been a persistent voice of moral clarity in response to the Gaza genocide, and she is being targeted for her courage.

Debanking—which consists of banks, payment platforms, and/or credit cards refusing to give you an account—is not an uncommon experience for critics of Israel.

Trans visibility promises a better world. That’s why it’s under attack | Xtra Magazine Trans Day of Visibility is a call to action reminding us that other things in our world can change for the better too

To see and experience the broad spectrum that transness presents is to see what is possible for ourselves. Witnessing that in practice benefits everyone.

Trans people present the possibility of a better life. And that extends beyond literal transness.

ohno

Nenshi's comments will be most popular with people who will never vote for him. Very sound strategy.

The UCP is going to continue to link Nenshi to Avi Lewis. So now Nenshi’s number one messaging for the ABNDP has to be “we are not like the NDP!” It can’t lose

"Lewis's ideas are UNPOPULAR with YOU so don't listen to them because they might INFECT YOUR BRAINS"

your statement is false and your devotion to the cult of fossil fuels will be your undoing. stay mad, liberal

Correction sur la couverture de la fusillade à Tumbler Ridge La direction de l'information s'excuse de la publication d'une photo présentant à tort une personne comme étant responsable de la fusillade.

Radio-Canada apologizes after it aired a photo circulated by anti-trans hate groups online, falsely claiming it was a photo of the Tumbler Ridge shooter. Damaging and irresponsible, and this apology raises more questions about journalistic process imho.

The Tumbler Ridge shooting is already fuelling anti-trans hate in Canada | Xtra Magazine Bad actors on the right are leaping to connect the shooter’s trans identity to the violence
