All the talk from the G7 about India and Canada working together to use AI for government "efficiency" soubds a lot like outsourcing our education and public services to a call centre. This Liberal government seems hellbent on destroying the public service and public programs. #canpoli […]

Would you be upset if the Conservatives sought to ram through sweeping legislation like this? At minimum, are you not concerned that the same powers will be in place if (when) the Conservatives are in power? www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RAt...

Another step in the #PoolPond today. Bought the 2 pumps. They are high-efficiency, DC variable speed/power up to 15000L/hr (4000gal/hr) and 105W. One will be to take water from the pond to the bog filter, and one will do double duty going to the bog filter or to sprayers/jets inside the pond […]

so.... did Trump leave early so he could get onto a secure/safe space - ie. Air Force One - before Israel did something brash? this is pure speculation on my part. All I have seen is what most others have, that he is leaving because of #IsraelIranWat

Newspapers let the fox in and now they dead... Canada too. Even after FB banned news orgs on their platform here thise news orgs STILL used it. Like some weird media-version if Stockholm Syndrome. #canpoli #journalism #media #canada #truth #posttruth #democracy […]

I am sure Trump had no desire to see Zelensky and risk a repeat of his embarrassing performance while surrounded with people who also think he is a dangerous fool. He's an ambusher... not ambushee. aka. coward The good news is, now the adults on the […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

This is a response I just got over at Bluesky re: my current #MutualAid request. You'd think that a supposedly "liberal" site like that which was formed explicitly to "escape" the right-wing anchor of Xchitter wouldn't share their corrosive and […] [Original post on mastodon.redgarterclub.com]

Trump leaving Canada's G7 meeting early to go do war things is pretty on brand for a fascist, but also for pretty much every USA President. #canpoli #g7 #cdnpoli #israelIranWar #gaza #genocide #usa

Mass media let everybody know stuff quickly, but it concentrated what they know. A few people got to decide. Decentralized social media can also let everybody know stuff quickly, but it lets all of us decide. Like word of mouth but moving much more quickly, and while allowing us to check each […]

Mark Ames en X: "Israel has already murdered more journalists in Gaza than were killed in WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan combined — with the full support of Washington and Brussels. What's another massacre of journalists to the collective West. https://t.co/cB9ftgbudF" / X […]

1/ Canadian Diplomacy according to Mark Carney's facial expressions. #CanPoli #CdnPoli #G7 #Trump #TradeWar A reporter asks Trump: “What is holding up a deal with Canada?” 😏

2 years later, my Freedom of Information Request shows a snapshot of Government ignoring Vancouver Islanders for 20 years. On June 28, 2023 I submitted a Request for Information to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure of British Columbia for documents related to the Island Railway […]

When people talk about the "survival of the fittest" or "the crime of empathy," I want clips like this to be pressed into the sides of those people's self-serving dumbfuck heads until they cave in.

Happy Father's Day SocialBC dads and Dads everywhere on the Fediverse! We have some instance-news! This morning we surpassed our 200GB storage limit on our shared host (masto.host). I suspect the surge in videos from #nokings protests gave us a little push so I […] [Original post on socialbc.ca]

Watched “Sinners” last night. If you don’t mind a little gore and sexual content, it’s got some great acting and the Blues!

One of the happiest periods of my life was taking paternal leave when my son was born and I had our three year-old daughter. If you have the opportunity to do this, do it. If you have the ability to advocate for your workplace to have this, do it. #dads #fathersday #parentalLeave #workerRights […]

Perth's absolutely massive rail expansion! Perth proves that even spread-out cities can have successful rail public transit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywVr1SdDDnY&ab_channel=CityMoose #Rail #PublicTransport #Perth

love that there is both a 🇲🇽 and 🇵🇸 flag leading the way! #nokings https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:f7utvjkqbgwfjonqtpfcf5fu/post/3lrmbm4a7ek2p

I was at the Bastille Day parade in Paris where I think ol Donny got his hard on for a big parades (see next) and, no offence at all to the soldiers doing their jobs, but Don, this parade is not even Macron worthy. #nokings #parade #sad https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/114684200393019112

I am so heartened to see all the protests. There is a little ray of hope now. #NoKings #8647

I love that the Toronto and Ottawa protests are called #NoTyrants. Like, let's table the monarchy issue for the moment and concentrate on the bad behaviour instead.

Crowd at the Vancouver, BC #nokings #notyrants rally at Jack Poole Plaza is growing. Megaphone is being drowned out a bit by an exercise class in the Fairmont courtyard across the street 🤷

It is so nice how the #pandemicpond is maturing now. This is its 5th summer! Can't believe it. The bog filter has made a massive difference for the water clarity and keeping down the algae. The first pic below is from this time last year and you can see […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Azalea 🌺 blooms a full month after all the others. "BEHOLD, I shall never submit to your 'schedule'!" #bloomscrolling #portalberni #yard

Meanwhile…. This week Russia crossed over 100,000 killed and wounded in their war of empire. A generation of Russians and Ukrainians will be lost because one man missed the old days and two other old men decided to not do enough to stop it. #RussiaUkraineWar […]
