“One expects Canada to be a model of free speech and liberal democracy and it's not as bad as the U.S., but it's not as good as I would hope”

too many Cndns are satisfied when we've cleared that bar...that extremely low bar...as the bar gets lower and lower...
Canada transforms into a police state the moment it encounters serious opposition to its crimes against humanity:

"... the event was organized as a forum to analyze and document 'Canada’s complicity in the genocide and dispossession of Palestinians, including over the last two years in Gaza'".

The "Mountbatten" speaks to the assassination of his uncle; famously executed by the Provos as a kiddie diddler. The boat he was on when sent to hell was his prime hunting ground.
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor losing all of his titles over just the possibility of the Epstein files coming out tells me all I need to know about just how bad the contents are, and why the Republicans are so desperate to never let it out.
The thing that’s so fucked up about the Epstein files is that if they’re bad bad for Trump, it’s gonna come out, and every Republican who knew what they were doing protecting him is gonna get flayed for it. And if they weren’t bad for him at all, they’d be out already.

Update: the woman on the Tumwater (WA) school board who voted to protect trans kids is now ahead by *25 points*.
I'd totally missed this:

In Tumwater, WA, a HS student complained about a trans basketball player. Then, the local school board passed a resolution to ban trans girls from girl sports.

Now, the mother of that student is running against the sole school board member to vote against the resolution.

Per George Monbiot:

"An analysis by Oxford University’s Smith School shows that a heavy reliance on CCS massively increases the costs of cutting emissions. By contrast to other technologies such as solar, wind and batteries, its costs have not fallen at all in 40 years."

I am confident that virtually everyone in this administration is within three hops of a member of a terrorist organization, probably several times over.
This three-hops theory is especially insane. Even if you assume each person is connected to only 100 other people, there are 1m people within three hops of every suspected drug trafficker—and remember that even *known* drug traffickers aren’t legitimate targets. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

Universal Human Rights recognises systemic discrimination: Māori incarceration rates, housing crises, and child poverty.

These aren't bugs—they're features of unjust systems that require structural change, not just procedural fairness.

Civil liberties organisations often focus on procedural fairness and government restraint. Vital work—but incomplete.
