If we talk about VolteNord, will he be happier?

Problem is that he's doing Russia's bidding, and many BRICS countries are okay with that. Plus, Bibi is also part of the Russian mob. So there's a lot of countries on side. 🇪🇺 is under attack, including from Hungary, Belarus, who knows what other countries. India? Qatar? KSA? SA?

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.
#NoKings

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below:
1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation …
3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people.
4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …
5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice …
6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices …
7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit …
13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people.
20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

Wow, incroyable!

I used to have that same debate, then my phone died and I had a forced detox. It was nice, good for the brain.

I'm now back to 90s me, pre social media. But I'm catching up with the 2000s... :(

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Julie S. Lalonde @julieslalonde.bsky.social · 26d

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.

"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

I remember putting green grapes back when I was 10. I didn't really think that my little fruit choice would make a world of difference, but then a few years later... it did, and the apartheid regime fell.
(...and then the Afrikaners fled to 🇨🇦🇺🇸, and now we're dealing with that 🤦)

The Canadian boycott is standing up to gangster fascism. Now we need to take the boycott global. I met with elected representatives from across the Americas in Mexico City and delivered this message: we must work across borders to resist the threats of Donald Trump.

I'm old enough that I remember when this was called "building design" and just taken for granted 🤷. Windows, cross-ventilation, yadda yadda.

Then R2000 and heat exchangers and all of a sudden it's about living in a sealed tomb with tiny fixed windows and "sick building syndrome".

Few things are as profitable as extirpating an entire species.

That said, if there's confirmed 2880 km travel, that changes my perception of the "range" of cougars, and the populations. There may be be just a north American population, with denser pockets in NS and BC.

Ottawa 🐆 might be traveler?
