A generation is not a life time for most of us, fortunately.
How does a CBC journalist even write this headline?

I mean it maybe once in a lifetime if you were writing about the Maple Leafs reaching a Stanley Cup Final.

Carney wants to sweep Canada's experimental torture of Inuit people under the rug. Defend that, Liberal stans. #cdnpoli

The federal government is expected to file a motion in Nunavut court next month to have the Inuit experiments case dismissed. The lawyer for the plaintiffs says the government's denial of involvement is "offensive."

‘It doesn't look good on the federal government’: says plaintiffs’ lawyer in Inuit experiments case

There's 'no evidence that the federal government was involved in conducting the research,' in Inuit experiments case, according to a government statement.

All Canadians who do not want to see Alberta and Canada torn apart by a small separatist movement and an enabling government owe @lukaszukab.bsky.social a debt of gratitude (and probably more than that). Separatist rhetoric is economically damaging.

“Some were telling me at the very beginning that we were not going to get any signatures in rural Alberta. Were they ever wrong. Our farmers and Albertans that live in rural Alberta are proud Canadians, and they’re showing it in the numbers”

This should be treated like the crisis that it clearly is.

If any other act of violence killed 3 people in 2 days in Calgary it would be front page news.

perfect example of the bias @drtaragoddard.com writes about.

Instead of discussing "stranger danger" with my kids I go on endlessly about cars

Thanks for all of this it's helpful and appreciated.
I'm especially relieved that UBI can't simply be adjusted for and have all the new money end up in the same old pockets.

Not that so much in life is unaffordable already, but in the time it would take to implement a UBI program and educate many who have few money management skill.
Won't the market find ways to further inflate prices to grab more than their share of people's new money?

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

“What is astonishing to me as a legal scholar is that the alcohol industry has somehow circumvented their legal and moral responsibility to warn consumers.”

No question this bill should be made law. Make alcohol follow the same plain packaging rules as tobacco.

The 113 Street traffic signs need to be re-installed, make it clear it's a 30 km/h Playground Zone.
If the Stop🛑Signs at 109A & 109 Ave won't be re-instated, traffic's going to speed through an active pedestrian zone.

Carney is destroying us. Start following people other than the Carney cult and you will see the truth. Of course PP is a scumbag. Bad people can be likeable. Carney is not working for the average Canadian. Sorry but he's part of the elite and we do not matter. He's a better liar than most.

Friendly reminder that it didn’t all begin on 7 October 2023.

It began with the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the Nakba since 1948, the Six-Day War of 1967, the full blockade of Gaza since 2007, and so much more.

The genocide in Palestine is the culmination of racism and settler colonialism.

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 19d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Rodney Taylor still needs our help!

He’s still locked in an ICE camp.

He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs.

He’s still facing deportation to Liberia.

He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored.

Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

msf.org/msf-denounce...

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza.

All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers.
We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah.

Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time. Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.
