Yeah they're still better than our provincial alternatives... But damn. And jeez, Eby sounds more like Christy Clark every damn day. Letting (or outright making) public services suffocate left and right.

Wab Kinew, save us?
I'm only a little joking.

I'm also not sure he's still carrying the values he had a decade ago. Some people who start with good values end up sacrificing them along the way to trying to get the power to make real change. And then the change falls off their priority list

Where the fuck did an actually progressive party go? Shambles and/or stuck in the same corporate grift bullshit that the libs fell prey to ages ago. Fuuuuuuu

You're not wrong and historically a lot of social bullshit waves hit Canada 3-8 years after hitting the USA. So.

I keep hoping it will suck less than what the trajectory looks like but the liberals are shit, the Cons are shitter (barely tbh), and the fed ndp is shambles and prov ndp.. Isn't.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

I wish tbh. They broke up a few years back.

This. I've described Legacy as a music video for that soundtrack. It helps in my case especially as I bought the soundtrack before seeing the movie, so I was already in love with the soundtrack and it made me enjoy the visuals so much. The story is just ok. Even so, I still watch it regularly.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

I guess I need to write my (so far useless) MP again. Ugh.

Say what you will about past Liberal and Conservative governments, they were ideologically driven. Carney just snuck in last minute and is like “Actually I’m ransacking the public coffers to fund the military, AI, energy companies and pay CEO friends obscene salaries. Thanks!”

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying
Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money
Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic
Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

This is horrific. White nationalist racist trying to claim that lynching is a commandment, yet another perversion of sacred texts for the disgusting white supremacist patriarchal capitalist imperialist colonial (aka kyriarchal) agenda.

Mary Ann Shadd broke ground with her anti-slavery newspaper, The Provincial Freeman.
She was the first Black woman publisher in North America and the first female publisher in Canada.
She later recruited Black soldiers for the Union Army during the American Civil War.

I can hear it in her voice. Thanks mom. 💖 (My mom loves Gene Wilder and loves Madeline Kahn and Terri Garr even more, so this movie is a fave of hers)

It's so awkward to teach kids about respectful terminology and then have to clarify that the law still says "Indian", and like... It should be awkward. That law is an active shame on Canada. But no politician seems to have the will to do the work and make a nation-to-nation restorative framework.

AI data centres are gobbling up environmental resources.

Billionaires are flying around on private jets.

Endless amounts of money & resources spent on wars around the globe.

But inhalers are the real threat to the climate?

They really will blame disabled people for everything
Screenshot of a post from local 12 WKRC TV which reads “inhalers contribute significantly to global warming study finds” and then a photo of two blue inhalers
