Retired teacher, proud to be left and "woke", sacrificed via COVID for the economy. Canadian warily peering over our southern border and hoping recent events signal a strong resistance to our own descent into madness. Unsolicited DMs earn a block.

Time for a little self care out of the heavy rain. Big crowd in wet weather, maybe maxed out at around 1500 when two protests merged at #nokingsvancouverbc

Carney's giving them half the population...all the left and center left that he's abandoning. If the NDP is smart, they can clean up next election...

So, the pH is waaay off. The temperature is waaay off. The amount of oxygen is waaay off. And soon the salinity will be waaay off.

But it's ok because it's not like the oceans control the climate of the entire planet or anything.

I agree 💯

We shouldn’t get complacent in Canada. This extremism is global and we’re one bad election away from some very bad things happening here. I keep saying this and will keep saying this because Canadians needs to understand the danger.

The ppl who keep calling for Civil War
& saying we need more guns
& pushing the racist Great Replacement Theory
& who mocked the murder of George Floyd
& the attack on Paul Pelosi
& who are totally ok w/beating Capitol cops for a lie...

...want you to tone down your rhetoric.

And now the CBC needs to get a collective grip. What ever happened to context?

People who oppose defunding the CBC are going to lose the incentive to do so if this kind of stuff becomes the norm.

Off-putting that CBC platformed Charlie Kirk’s widow’s lengthy video message tonight, about continuing his “mission” even more aggressively, without comment on how repugnant much of that mission was. And who are the “they” who killed him she referenced? The even more extreme alt-right “Groypers?”

And in doing so cost me 3 COVID infections resulting in long COVID, taking away my teaching career. Still livid.

Canada is fighting the USA for its very existence.

Canada can win this fight, but we must not win by turning our country into that which we are fighting against.
