"Rise to see, not to be seen"
Latest mainstreet poll of seat count if elections were held today have #ndp at ZERO. Meanwhile the strategists that got them to this state are still there, their review blames everything but themselves, a slow motion leadership contest, and mostly centrist MPs: wake the F up. #cdnpoli

so 9 Toronto cops being arrested for leaking other cops details to hit squads. No talk about how long they have been criminals, how long other officers ignored it, and only when it threatens themselves they remember their cops. #cdnpoli

#epstein files show how a criminal organization made of psychopaths & liars is maintained: mutually assured destruction by shared abhorrent acts. Drug cartels, biker gangs, or the secret societies of politicians & elite. All the same. And they only released the most mild stuff. #uspoli #trump

#cdnpoli #onpoli #cbc #housingcrisis politicians are lying about the housing crisis to shovel $ to developers, evidence shows it's a policy problem not supply : www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...
The numbers don’t lie: The housing crisis is not caused by a supply shortage - CCPA
Financialization, not demographics, caused the cost of housing to explode

unfortunately having had to deal with psychopath executives, i'm predicting that soon being in the #epstein files will give bragging rights in their circles, recognition of being an international player of such stature to be worthy of honey-pot blackmail. #uspoli #cdnpoli #trump

Did you know Roger’s, Bell, & Telus cash cow is home internet? Their network’s capacity is maintained at 1/25th of the plans they sell you. They cant deliver what you paid for, and that’s fine because there is nothing on the Internet that could consume this capacity. It’s just a giant scam. #cdnpoli

watching #cbcpnp (yes, i'm that old), and in all the discussions regarding 1st ministers & PM meetings, not a single mention of #climatechange. Just lots of talk of becoming an oil & gas energy superpower. Wondering what planet their grandkids will be living on #cdnpoli

If you can afford it, it’s easy to avoid evil #techbros & protect yourself. #Proton (Swiss based) offers absolutely private mail, cloud storage, vpn, AI, wallet etc. #Linux Mint is easy to install on PC or Mac laptops (even very old ones). Brave is an excellent private browser. #cdnpoli #uspoli

While Canadians want #elbowsup @evansolomon.bsky.social is opening the front door & welcoming in domination via US technology. The USA will take our sovereignty with a tech stack rather than tarifs or bullets #Cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/bloodint...
What Trump really wants with AI
Trump's AI agenda is often described as a push for deregulation; an effort to cut red tape so AI companies can innovate. In truth, it's a big government project with designs toward domination.

FFS #cbc do better. In the coverage of new Chinese EVs, they featured #Ford & repeated the 49 THOUSAND cheap Chinese cars with emphasis. Over 1.9M new cars sold each year. Thats 2.6% of the market. This is Fox ´News' level editorial control, or really hack journalism.

many years ago my evaluation of VR found insurmountable tech & physiology problems. #Meta just threw the towel in on #VR, wasting $77B. Everyone defended their budgets even when they knew it's wrong. The private sector is not better than the public, it's worse & less accountable. #cdnpoli

Jesus Christ. @mark-carney.bsky.social said eloquently out loud what other world leaders are reported to whisper in private. Maybe he is not the inside man of corporate America. #cdnpoli

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

@timwalzparody.bsky.social is a nice man but also not up to the existential challenge to democracy playing out in #Minnesota . He should be organizing a general strike, not pearl clutching. open.substack.com/pub/chrished...
The Last Election
The presidential election in 2024 may be the last free vote taken in the United States. Dictatorships only hold elections with predetermined outcomes or do not hold them at all. Trump is no exception.

fun fact, unlike Canada, In Norway the state owns, develops and profits from natural resources like oil. For the benefit of their citizens. You can watch the value of their sovereign wealth fund grow in real time www.nbim.no/en/
The fund | Norges Bank Investment Management
The purpose of the fund is to safeguard and build financial wealth for current and future generations based on revenue from Norway's oil and gas resources.
