There’s no Alberta oil. It’s Canada’s oil.
There’s no Saskatchewan potash. It’s Canada’s potash.

Imagine if Eby had said this about either of their provinces. Danielle would be apoplectic.

Saltcrop by @yumewrites.bsky.social is now out!

It's a near future tale of two sisters who must travel across a dying earth to find their missing sibling who left to seek a cure for ecological collapse ⛵🌾❤️

It's a strange and beautiful journey about family, resilience, hope and mystery

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

Over on Reddit someone is asking for science fiction for their precocious young reader and the people there are suggesting books that were old when that kid's grandparents were the same age as the kid, for fuck's sake if you didn't know any SF books from this millennium maybe sit this question out

I *cannot* fucking stress this enough:

The threat of AI is *NOT* making movies for us, but the hundreds of jobs it will be able to easily eliminate from crew positions. VFX. Drone pilots. Color timing. Sound mixing. Clerical staff.

If we don't move to protect jobs NOW, they WILL go away forever.

Trump threatened our nation and suddenly Danielle Smith went into over drive pushing the break up of our nation.
How convenient.
National media are giving full court press to the fringe characters working to destroy our country.
Time to call it out.

Is anyone surprised? More bogus talking points from President TACO.
The digital services tax has been set to kick in for some time.
American dairy have an open border up to the point of flooding us. That's when tariffs kick in. They have never even attempted to sell their share into Canada.

Poilievre's authoritarian attitude was Canada is broken,only he alone could fix it, as we all know
Canada is far from being broken that with good management along with
the ability to adapt can be made better. When a leader has to resort chauvinistic ideology you sure he’ll lose a lot a voters.
PP's numbers are absolutely tanking
