We could make fun of this in so many ways, but telling people, "We are poor because transgender people are taking all the money," should be uncomfortably familiar to people familiar with 20th century history.

I've been looking into starting a garden, which led me to check out gardening groups on Facebook, and that led into homesteading/prepping groups. The things some people believe are wild. I really don't think we're going to make any headway on a bunch of issues until we tackle misinformation.

The left's abandonment -including unions - of workers who have become sick and disabled in the context of Long COVID, and of this as an overall issue, is causing alarm internationally, with the Labour party rightly singled out for criticism here:

I’m a little down on Canada as the colonial settler state it is, but it’s the best we’ve got and I hope it could be better. Even I’m not immune to a bit of feeling good after a Canadian hockey victory. I hope all the American players looking for a victory for Trump go home in shame.

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

Had a lady get really nervous around me and my 5-year-old because we’re masked and she’s going on a trip. She was worried we were sick. I assured her we just mask regularly and she said, sort of out loud, “I should be masking but I didn’t think of it.” It’s remarkable to me how most people…

Fwiw, unless Americans are in the streets by the hundreds of thousands daily, this will not end. And the whole world will pay.

I have sanitized everything in my house that a sick child has or may have touched or puked on. They include towels, blankets, Lego, a dollhouse, library books, the bathtub, stairs, light switches, toilets, chairs, and so much more.

Block anyone posting about the LGB or LGBQ+ community. This is an active effort to erase trans people. There is no Pride without trans people. Specifically trans people of colour. Dropping the T is bootlicking. It's throwing them under the bus and waiting happily to be next.

That our biggest newspaper chain is foreign owned was probably never a good idea. But as we face an erratic US president it becomes more urgent to ask: If Postmedia needed to choose between what’s good for its American owners and what’s good for Canada, what would they choose? How would we know?

So like here's the thing. When we all got here early on there was a sort of understanding that everyone was deeply traumatized by social media and had to relearn how to people properly. Try to have grace while not encouraging bullshit.

Albertans should read closely. The first steps have been taken here, too. Why do you think the Smith government is removing checks and balances, limiting voting rights, and seeking their own tax agency and police force? www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Even if Trump were in jail, the leaders of this country would still be disabling entire generations of children with a brain-damaging virus and lying about it every single day while legions of "scientists" looked the other way. It kinda puts things into perspective.

Please read this important story about how the small town of Valleyview has been torn apart in the name of a moral panic over 2SLGBTQIA+ kids & books. It ties into larger political forces in Alberta including David Parker's TBA, UCP insiders, & influence from the USA. www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

The urge of capitalist societies will be to swing towards fascism as this intensities, and we must stop it. We’re not currently doing so great.
