Ah yes attacking the far right for not being sufficiently lustful for unnecessary war.

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask

Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes

But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

This is so fucking vile.

Joly: We’re going to save Canada by turning it into a military economy that pumps the world full of more weapons and surveillance tech than it knows what to do with. Yay! Jobs! Death! Yay!

“For the first time in decades, we will be re-creating a military industry in our country,” she said. “Canada has one of the most important capacities in terms of shipbuilding within NATO so I want our shipyards to be able to export and sell to the world.”
Opinion: Canada must move from defence procurement to defence production
Ms. Joly said Canada should be building satellites and water bombers and developing artificial-intelligence products that can be sold globally. Canada can also partner with other countries as it did with Sweden to build surveillance planes.
“We can really create good manufacturing jobs in the [defence] sector. We can create good tech jobs in that sector and we can have great researchers doing dual-use research,” Ms. Joly said.

Too little too late for NATO to pull a 180 on neoliberalism. The last few years of throwing money at problems with no industrial production reveals the clown show is already screeching to a halt

He campaigned on integrating coast guard into NATO mostly because of arctic opening up to resource extraction. He isn't thinking of changing course, this is who Canada is

Re:headlight brightness, Angle is a big thing, and can be adjusted easily afaik. I was not aware until I kept getting flashed at and decided to research. Turns out a lot of cars default to having them angled too high. A few turns of a socket wrench and no more angering truckers!

were there not standards or laws about how bright and what angle? or were those just norms and suggestions like everything else? what in the fuck is going on lol

Yeah he's been in many battles over the years and keeps going. It's a lot easier for someone like him to just become another reactionary grifter.

Sorry to everyone that I got this wrong. The whole dog abuse thing just kinda set me off, I guess. I am not immune to emotions or propaganda and I accept that I fell a victim to it this time. Thank you all for helping me see that.

Until a few years ago, it was a criminal offence in Canada to scare the Queen of England

The Carney government's new hate crime proposals have a similar aim—to protect the ruling classes from discomfort and political dissent

My latest for @breachmedia.ca

New hate crime law is a cover for suppressing Palestine protests ⋆ The Breach

The proposed 'Combatting Hate Act' is built on the idea that protests inspire hateful violence, and gives police the tools to crack down on expression

Now it's a day later and the APTN and CBC Indigenous news sites still have no story about, or even mention in another story of Israel abducting, in international waters, a First Nations person who has Canadian citizenship.

Just fyi, it is too late for Donald to stop the transition. All he's doing is wasting as much time and resources as humanly possible on something that's already died.

With the Trump Admin bashing renewables and boosting fossil fuels, most folks would assume that the smart money is going into oil and gas stocks. The investment returns tell a very different story, with green funds doubling the performance of fossil funds.

This morning I got an email from someone who was going to hire me for a case pro bono, changing their mind because they realized I was Jewish. They believe that I was going to intentionally harm them because Israel shows Jews can't be trusted,
