The public safety ministry sent out a false response to a freedom of information request by the NDP. It covered up 130 pages of correspondence about Dale McFee's request for Minister Ellis to intervene in police commission appointments, including multiple signed letters by the minister himself.

An underrated part of the discussion of how to fund Vancouver's Celebration of Light is that a generation ago, big businesses spent tons of money on local culture because it was an efficient form of advertising.
And today, when everything can be targeted through online algorithms, they don't.

Complete with defunding if we don't comply and/or the removal of local boards. This is...bad.

There can be something badly wrong with a person without it being a mental illness or disability. In fact, it almost never is.
Bigotry is a symptom of precisely zero mental illnesses.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.
In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

Nothing quite like having to catch the attention of a security guard on an enclose office just to ask if you can be let in to the *public* washroom.

I've noticed a lot of users are interested in joining some iteration of "resistance" to oppose fascists. Allow me to outline some first steps:
1. Cite your sources. And when someone asks you to, or when someone sources your claim for you, say thanks.
Fascists survive on mis- and dis-information.
