Western liberals: "Capitalism is not the problem. The problem is crony capitalism. What we need is 'real' and 'fair' capitalism where large corporations don't have so much of the market share." 'Yeah, bruh! Cancer is not the problem. The problem is stage 4 cancer. What we need is stage 2 cancer.'

There’s a TON of evidence that bigger, higher vehicles are far more likely to kill somone they hit, crushing vital organs & pushing victims under. But never forget, their weight, height & sightlines also make it far more likely that they’ll hit someone in the first place. HT @transenv.bsky.social

It very much feels like Canadians have inadvertently elected a coalition government: Liberal ministers, Conservative policies. Unity!

Most Albertans, including healthcare workers, will now have to pay to get a COVID vaccine. Danielle Smith promised Albertans would never have to pay out of pocket for the medical treatment they need. She lied. Such a cruel, dangerous, anti-science, anti-public health decision. Make it make sense.

Alberta should remove as many barriers as possible to seasonal vaccination given the state of health care in the province. Our hospitals are full of viral illness with decreasing vax rates. This decision will kill people. The government doesn’t care.

Carney's "border bill" betrays every promise he made during the election about Canada's relationship with the US. It is a deeply xenophobic bill that entangles us with US fascism. It also sets the stage to turn Canada into a surveillance state.

Obama, Trump and Biden grew US oil/gas exports, concentrating wealth and power in fossil-fuel billionaires' hands. Now here we are: "Petrostates tend to have more autocratic governments, more belligerent foreign policies, and higher levels of corruption—trends that now apply to the United States."
