I really don't think most people properly understand how bad climate change will get or how reckless and violent Mark Carney's extractionist agenda is.

Like this is madman villain type shit. We are in for a bleak, bleak future. But it means defeating everything people like Carney stand for.

Extreme Drought definitely captures my summer on PEI. This year my corn was stunted and inedible, peppers struggled, potatoes got shredded by beetles, snap peas barely produced one harvest, and cucumbers were marginal. Tomatoes, berries and beans did well.

I have 8000L of rainwater storage.

Not surprising to now see exceptional drought observed in parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the latest AAFC drought update. Almost all of Atlantic Canada remains in some form of drought, worst in the Maritimes and Avalon Peninsula. The full report: agriculture.canada.ca/en/agricultu...

Like Bari Weiss being stuffed by a billionaire atop CBS to lie to normies, this is billionaires stuffing rightwing ideas into AI systems to lie to normies.

The whole fascist takeover of the US is built atop an information war.

We got our covid and flu shots today! Please book and protect yourself. Also, spread the word as it appears there will little to no promotion. Also, if you see test kits, grab them. Shoppers told us they now only have single use tests for $7 available and Morrison said no new shipments of free kits.

What you’re saying is the federal government is ignoring the temporary restraining order that was issued yesterday?

Wonder who’s going to actually do anything about this considering there’s no real mechanism in place to stop this now that the federal government is ignoring the courts openly

We could be treating Canada Post as not just an essential delivery service, but an essential social infrastructure in our communities.

Instead the government prefers to treat it as a costly burden that must be subject to death by a thousand cuts.

For isolated seniors, Canada Post delivers more than mail | CBC News

As the Canada Post strike hits the one-week mark, there are growing concerns for one group of Canadians who typically rely on the delivery service more than most — seniors.

After that vile performance yesterday Parliament should trigger a non-confidence vote and hold new elections.

Elections, flawed as they and the parties are, represent the one tool we have to oust governments. Normalize demanding them.

the epstein files aren’t dropping & this isn’t a distraction from them.

this is a fascist setting up the field to eliminate every point of friction that might impede an attempt to seize absolute power.

quippy posts about epstein are delaying your realization of, & motivation to fight, that fact.

Now it's a day later and the APTN and CBC Indigenous news sites still have no story about, or even mention in another story of Israel abducting, in international waters, a First Nations person who has Canadian citizenship.

The Mark Carney government not going to comment on proposed US legislation to integrate Canadian and US border forces until Carney gets his official marching orders from DHS

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree’s office declined to comment on Langworthy’s bill calling for greater integration.

“These are legislative proposals which have yet to become law,” responded David Taylor, Anandasangaree’s director of communications. “We’ll wait for Congress to consider them before commenting.”

Any and all ICE agents entering Canada should be arrested under Canada’s Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act.

We have a legal framework designed to address the unconscionable. We ought to use it!
