I'm planting a #foodforest in the 🇨🇦 #pnw. I cook and eat locally grown and foraged food.
I am interested in places where food, #history, culture, and #gardening intersect.

The Pathways Alliance project would inevitably be a massive boondoggle if it ever gets built. It’s only purpose is to greenwash the oil industry and deceive Canadians into thinking we can be a clean petrostate.
Carney's latest pipedream explained
Prime Minister Mark Carney wants to see the Pathways Alliance project built in exchange for a new oil pipeline to the BC coast — a risky bet on the country’s economic future.

The purpose of a system is what it does, so the purpose of Canada's tax regime is to let the wealthy off the hook at every turn while punishing everyone else.

My friend @harshawalia.bsky.social was arrested and charged, and another protester was brutalized today in Vancouver at a protest targeting Apple for profiting from death and exploitation in its supply chain. The protesters also called out Apple's support of Friends of the IDF.

Look forward to Bari Weiss asking "has identity politics gone too far?" while studiously ignoring the most virulent identity politics driving American government
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

I love the Carney brained folks on here claiming this is great politics from a 4D chess master 🇨🇦 PM.
What about standing up proudly for your values? If this were truly about sneakily disarming separatists with a secret progressive agenda, what a great way to confuse everyone and accomplish nothing!

It's not social media or supposed attacks on masculinity that are causing the (largely made up) " male loneliness epidemic."
It's that some men choose to be people who nobody in their right mind would want to be around.
