There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say that there isn't. Why don't you come on back to the war? That's right, get in it

Analog, local, (inter)personal, and meaning-driven. "Off-grid" in terms of control but not forgoing the benefits of connection.

Unfortunately, people vote to keep the Cons out of power. I understand that, but it seems that we now have two Con parties. I'm tired of kowtowing to Alberta, which both parties are now doing.

Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy.
Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference.

This is not progress. It is a full-blown retreat.
A real feminist foreign policy demands concrete action on gender equality and a clear defence of the human rights of all people. Instead, Carney, just like Harper before him, has walked away from the world’s most vulnerable.

What I find so deeply frustrating about these columns about our supposed inability to build things is the complaints about "bureaucracy" frequently turn out to be "Waah, they won't let us poison this river with selenium!" or "Waah, I don't want to have to share revenue with the local First Nation!"

The older I get the more I realize John Carpenter was right about so much in They Live.
Like yes of course elites and working class are like aliens to each other, They Live extrapolates this into a literal alien invasion, but the pilfering of the world for wealth is real.
