You obviously know what this person means, which is that they don’t pay their fair share and that the absolute wealth gap and concentration of wealth at the tippy top and thus class domination has gotten out of hand. If you disagree you are a capitalist footstool. Cheers

@ketanjoshi.co @christineburns I was just looking at this one…

I'm running out of spoons very quickly so I greatly reduced my social media time

For me it's not as bad as Twitter where the app made me follow people I would have never followed (or maybe accounts were hijacked?)
I remember when my feed here would be the same top 3-5 posters I followed. It might have improved. Still... I have no idea if I'm missing posts by users I follow 🤔

Sounds like a state-sponsored protection racket

And it was these insiders - and their expertise - that engineered the NDP’s decades of incremental, Liberal-lite politics.
Their kind of politics brought us to the low point where we now must begin again.

What we need to wattch out for, as the Breach is warning, is PPPs, public private partnerships that never really deliver affordability in housing. Let's revert to full public housing as we did in the past

Right-wing “media” grifters crossed the police line onto our side of the street. Instead of protecting us, the police detained two counter-protesters who were trying to block the “journalists” from agitating the crowd. The two counter-protesters were later released without charge.

This new view changes our understanding of the pandemic:
1️⃣The 1st and 2nd waves were actually similar in size.
2️⃣Omicron didn’t cause one wave in 2022. It caused three.
3️⃣The official numbers undercounted infections in younger people, especially young men.

How big is the gap?
Ontario reported 1.4M cases from 2020–2022. After adjustment, we estimate there were ~ 4.3M cases, 3x higher.
The figure below shows the reported epidemic curve (blue) and what we would have seen (red) if all age and sex groups were tested as intensively as women aged 80+

Manifesting a Sébastien CoRhino win in Carleton. The least likely but funniest hypothetical outcome

They're being marginalized like everyone else who is marginalized for being counter-current, under the guise of rules that don't really exist. The coverage for this election is probably the most narrow coverage has ever been for a federal election in the history of Canada.

It’s all a goddamn Potemkin village. Take, for example, noted bigot Keean Bexte. He runs an “outlet” called CounterSignal.
He’s sitting with Rebel people, and pops over to Levant to show him things on his phone regularly. Taking direction.
They have as many “outlets” as they can create websites.

It is cancelled, and it is 100% thanks to Ezra making a scene and getting into fights. I’m in the room.
The Rebel have (I counted) no fewer than a dozen people in this room. There’s no journalistic rationale to send that many people.
