Fight the power. Climate. Canada. Alberta. Calgary. Let's GO #Climate #abpoli #cdnpoli

I don't like the budget (I feel it's largely a #BigOil wish list) and I don't want an election (I feel there's literally NOBODY to vote for).
I am a Canadian citizen and lifelong voter. I feel disenfranchised. I feel like my political system is utterly failing me.

Americans should have known the details of which files the president illegally detained after his last "presidency" & which are still missing that the FBI was looking for----before the last election. What a disservice to Americans & a threat to their security. We need to fix that.

Another lovely cover from this run, this time by Frank Cirocco.
I'd like to think there's some Bill Sienkiewicz inspiration in it, but that might very well be a "guy who's only seen boss baby" take. Either way, very 80s, in the best way.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Seriously I don't know what's up. It's been almost half a year (June) since I put out a new documentary-style episode of Sprawlcast. It feels stuck. Have been prioritizing other projects/formats for The Sprawl. And can't seem to get back into the podcast groove. It is a frustration.

Reluctance to consult caucus, opposition parties could spell trouble for Prime Minister Carney
Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said the current Liberal government's approach to consultation will "bite their ass." Although the language is unparliamentary, he's not wrong.
