The circumstances around Tumbler Ridge are becoming clearer. This was committed by a person who should have never been around guns, but who was clearly raised around a plethora of poorly secured weapons.

My country has just endured the worst school shooting in it's history. This is not something that happens often here. Our hearts go out to the families affected by this tragedy in Tumbler Ridge.

If you think the UK has not become an Americanized satellite state of the US, just look at how deeply enmeshed it's leadership and politicians are with Epstein and US corruption.

The UK has become Little America.

Gen Z use AI to aid thought.
Millennials use AI to aid work.
Gen X use AI cautiously as a tool.

Boomers are most likely to be AI skeptics.

Danielle Smith is undermining the independence of the judiciary in her province. She openly believes in parliamentary supremacy. Her argument is that we should be more like the US.

Our Canadian values are getting in her way, apparently.

This was obviously a right-wing coup orchestrated by Machado, in collaboration with the US. This would also explain the ease of Maduro's capture.

Conservatives will only ever be loyal to their own self-interest.

I am getting sick of performative anti-AI bullshit. If you don't like AI, then simply don't use it. Stop involving the rest of us in your insecurities. It's not going away just because you call it stupid and useless at every opportunity.

The Trump administration is sharing blatant falsehoods at a record pace. Embarrassingly fake and childish images. Lying about Carney.

Their support is collapsing, and lying is their only survival skill.

So Trump has caved on Greenland. The battle is over. Once more, the bully lost.

See? Standing up to Trump works. Bluster and bullying come from a place of cowardice. Standing up for yourself is always the right choice.

Congratulations to Jenner Yeremiy for gathering 6,500 signatures to remove UCP Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides from the Alberta legislature.

They needed 16,000, but the message of dissent is clear.

You don’t have to approve of substance use to support harm reduction. You just have to care whether people live or die.

Harm reduction is risk management, not endorsement.

Canada will be sending troops to help defend Greenland against the United States. So is the rest of NATO (except, of course, the US). Bullying does not work.

Trump is not strong. He is a lonely, isolated grifter.

Le PQ veut un référendum. Les libéraux… ben, c’est des libéraux 🤷‍♂️. La CAQ pis les conservateurs sont plus occupés à être racistes pis à taper sur les médecins qu’à gouverner.

Peut-être qu’il est temps pour QS.

Snowy rural property with recently plowed driveway and deep snow. Dense trees in the background heavily dusted with snow, like something out of a Christmas scene or a snow globe. Three door garage in the center with thick snow on the roof.

Innocent until proven guilty is a legal rule that limits state punishment. It isn’t a claim about reality. Society, institutions, and individuals are allowed to assess credibility, risk, and patterns independently of court verdicts.

AI does not have agency. Anything created with AI is not somehow artificial; it is manmade. A human being had to imagine the outcome before any AI involvement. AI was just the tool, like a pen or paintbrush.

Trump is a person that Pollievre and many in the Conservative Party openly support. They think behaviour like this is reasonable. This is bad for Canada and Canadians.

We must stand in solidarity with Greenland.

I don't understand the constant negativity coming out of the Conservative Party. Who wants to be miserable all the time? Or always hear toxic bullshit? Do they think they're campaigning in the US?

It's un-Canadian and unhelpful.

The US is not in control of Venezuela right now, and is not in a position to attempt to run it. The country is still operating under the Maduro government, with the Vice President as de facto leader.

The Liberals, NDP, and Bloc Québécois are all condemning the US invasion, even as they criticize Maduro.

Conservatives are taking the opportunity to suck Trump's dick.
