“Postmedia is the nation’s leading supplier of climate change denial and pro-oil industry propaganda, so it’s not surprising that they would dismiss academic research and rail against bike lanes when they provide an inexpensive solution to interrelated emission, pollution and congestion problems.”
Latest bit of Montreal 'bikelash' sidesteps the facts to please bike-lane haters
The findings of a study about bike lanes vs car infrastructure have been twisted by a Montreal publication in a cheap bit of bikelash.

The political right has chosen blatant lying as a political strategy.
"..constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no
longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong...With such a people, you can do whatever you want."

-Hannah Arendt, (Oct, 1906 - Dec, 1975)
German historian and philosopher

“Mark Carney is one of the most respected voices on the economy worldwide and by far the most qualified to steer Canada through the second Trump presidency. Canada already has the best trade deal with the U.S., and Canadians trust the PM to build on that while creating new opportunities abroad.”

This has been the clear authoritarian project by the political right for years. The #GOP, billionaire backers, grievance entrepreneur grifters, demonstrated this in Trump’s first term. (Tweet from January 6 2017).

Republican Game-plan

*Rig Election via vote theft, voter suppression, gerrymandering, hacking, sabotage.

* Discredit media by muddying the waters with #FakeNews

*Attack critics, employ the anger and rage of "Deplorables". Stir them up to go after targets.

*Create scapegoats

*Install radical right wing kleptocrats to head all departments, with eye to dismantling or inverting the offices they'll be sworn to uphold

*Kill or rig oversight bodies

*Dismantle ACA

*Dismantle the Commons: open federal lands to fossil fuel industry interests

*Ignore rules & norms such as conflict of interest rules, releasing financial disclosure, taxes.

*Privatize Social Security, put it in the hands of Wall Street interests

*Kill funding to all groups who oppose agenda

*Stack courts with GOP cronies

*Dismantle and disrupt current intelligence services

An apartment block was built with modular pre-fab apartment units in the downtown of Brandon, Manitoba.

I would drive through the area to
watch the crane lifting the units from a flatbed and the crew guiding them into position. It went up really fast and looks great.

AI can create realistic videos about digital dilemmas in seconds.
Yet Manitoba still has no digital literacy curriculum to guide students and teachers.
Isn’t it time we caught up?

A teen uses an AI app to write an essay. They smile — until the teacher asks, “Can you explain this part?” The student freezes, unable to answer. Text: “Smart tools need smart users.”

Take it from a European: You can.
For a limited time. It will be horror, though.

Every time a protest erupts, the clampdown will be harsher.
Until the regime collapses.

Best time to topple a fascist regime?
Yesterday.
2nd best time?
Now.

trump talking about Mark Carney:

"He's a great man. He's very strong, he's a world class leader. He's a tough negotiator. He's a nice man but he can be very nasty too."

Wonder how PP will spin this.
