My bet is the bunkers will be tombs. You cant survive for long if the planet is on fire.

If we could only pull them out of their delusions!

This article says it like it is. It spurs me to work even harder to counter the disinformation Enbridge spreads.

Enbridge investors to get billions as gas giant expands into small-town Ontario

Enbridge executives know Ontario ratepayers are a cash cow for its gas business, and in recent calls with investors they said they plan to milk it for all its worth.

The fight about the BC ostrich farm is not really about the ostriches. It’s about far more important things than that. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Bruce Arthur: The B.C. ostrich affair is not about the birds

This isn’t really about the ostriches, but rather it's about basic biosecurity in the age of viruses, and whether a government can make and enforce laws and policy.

Now you know why!
A number of vehicles assigned to Ontario cabinet ministers have racked up a combined $3,300 in automated speed camera fines.
The data comes as the Ford government looks to eliminate the use of speed enforcement cams. #cdnpoli

Democracy is suffering from first past the post because The Libs and the Cons have essentially rigged our democracy so that they can have 100% of the power with as little as 35% of the support. And they bully smaller parties. People are turning off.

So their outrage is pretty funny.

If you think the GPC has had a rough few years, you're not alone. We've faced devastating results this year and current leadership wants to bury its head in the sand. Vote for me for VC Anglo and let's fix this.

That could be nipped in the bud, of course.

The NDP could realize that electoral reform is existential for them and for getting their ideas to reality. They need to make ANY support contingent on electoral record.

Done.

It’s very clear that the Poilievre strategy is to keep his base, absorb the PPC voters and pray for a split between the Liberals and NDP as a path to power. That’s why he’s not trying to draw moderates. He’s got nothing to lose now and he’s all in on division.

Good work. There are “changes” but it does not say what changes. If they told us, we could see for ourselves if they are “faster” and just as good.

This is where you lost me.of course they are focussing on lawbreakers. Typically lawbreakers are hidden among law abiding. The question is: what do the rest of us give up to find them?

3/4:
- Focus on law breakers;
- Restore order at the border;
- Block or remove fraudulent refugees;
- Allow Canadians to send mail, use the internet and do lawful cash transactions; the bill should focus on preventing and apprehending UNLAWFUL transactions.

Clip from our most recent episode of The Basic Income Show where we talked about Ireland's basic income experiment results and how artists increased their incomes from doing art thanks to their income base and how it benefited the economy and reduced welfare spending. Essentially it was win-win-win.

Ireland's basic income experiment resulted in higher incomes and the economy benefited $1.39 per $1

This is what Canada’s Conservative leadership has bought into. Pay attention. They still need your vote to complete the task. (Unless they get Trump to invade)

Don't be suckered in by Poilievre's campaign to launch a campaign over Canadian Christians suffering "persecution." He is running the same playbook as the AfD in Germany, Trump in the States and Farage in the UK.
