Viktor Orbán to try to regain seat in Hungarian parliament by running in Alberta’s Battle River—Crowfoot by-election.
Not even 6 in the morning, and Hungarians are already lining up to vote! Hopefully get rid of Orban and Russians once, and for all! #cdnpoli
It's not just that though. We are more aware of injustices now but it feels like this ability to constantly vent small releases of pressure online results in our never reaching the boiling point needed for real action.
Is the fact that social media gives us an outlet for our outrage, and validation that others feel the same, the reason that there is ultimately very little impactful action happening IRL?
What would happen if we didn't have all these online spaces to vent and argue and virtue signal?
Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

The first astronaut in history to speak French while en route to the moon — Canada’s very own Jeremy Hansen 🇨🇦
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
But of course!
Something something I am Jack's complete lack of surprise
I expect nothing less (more?) from the UCP
There's also a second survey about "bad federal laws": unitedconservativecaucus.ca/surveys/bad-...
Turns out if you answered 'yes' to that mass text the UCP sent out in Alberta, you got a link to a survey that asks such questions as whether you support using public money for private schools.

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.
Search warrants for a sitting councillor and former mayor (judges hand those out like napkins) dozens of agents for 3 days at MHCare. Probably just a coincidence, or gathering evidence to serve Smith’s chief of staff? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
So despite saying that reforming how federal judges are selected represents such a major shift from that status quo that she needs a mandate via referendum…
Smith is going ahead with pursuing it regardless.
Referendum-less.

Danielle Smith isn’t going to survive this unfolding scandal. AB has major search warrants ongoing, rumours someone flipped with dozens of agents from the RCMP Federal Policing Northwest Region…you know the cops who investigate national security, terrorism, democratic institutions and shit.
It works for me (also Canada), though I have to say "Simon says" first 🥴
Is it happening again?
Canadians living abroad looking to increase voter turnout ahead of byelections—nearly 5 million Canadians live outside the country and roughly 3.5 million of them are eligible to vote. #Canada

I ordered a new office chair to replace the cheap one I've had for probably 15 years...went with a nice gaming chair from a Canadian-based company (Cybeart). Just set it up this morning and OMG what a difference a good chair makes!
I don't recall signing a contract to be in this episode of Black Mirror
A tweet from @itsqail reading "Canadians when it gets slightly warm outside," with an embedded photo of a chocolate Labrador Retriever with eyes closed and chin raised, basking contentedly in warm golden sunlight outdoors.
Next week is gonna be lit, y'all
Every time we go I wonder why they don't put arrows on the floors like IKEA. But, I suppose we are all there for the same thing and thus all contributing to the congestion so I need just take a breath and be patient 😆.
I envy the level of obliviousness that such a good portion of Costco shoppers are able to maintain...to be able to walk through life just assuming everyone and everything will make way for and/or wait for you...it seems like pure bliss
