When a Govt tries to quell dissent , including peaceful protest, it has lost it's moral right to govern.

Nothing, and I mean absolutely zero has changed about Tr**p. He’s as much of an extortionist and a racist gas bag as he was in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and now. 60 years of this asshole. Yet, America can’t get f**ked hard enough to realize they’re the patsy in the biggest grift in human history.

From “Opinion: Crisis capitalism comes for Alberta’s classrooms”, by Trevor McFadyen, a reference is made to the UCP's potential use of a Shock Doctrine or manufacture of societal crisis in the context of education.

I think it applies to many more issues in Alberta.

CBC is digging into the future of AI in Canada — and who really controls it.

From OpenAI’s new data centres 🇨🇦 to calls for stronger AI regulation, CBC is connecting the dots on tech, law, and sovereignty.

I would say that Trump is insulting the intelligence of Americans , but sadly it is a proven, informed decision based on being elected , not once, but twice - some exceptions .
