If this were to happen federally in a coordinated fashion, it could be a progressive sweep of most of the country.

Unthinkable a year ago. QC nearly chose to secede in the 90s. Several retailers I visited in B.C. today are out of nearly all types of Canadian flags.

I've never flown the flag, overt nationalism isn't my jam. Times have changed... #cdnpoli #flagday

True story

HOUSING HOMELESS FOLKS SAVES MONEY IN FINLAND: “a recent study showed the savings in emergency healthcare, social services & the justice system totalled as much as €15,000 a year for every homeless person in properly supported housing.” It works AND it saves money. Doing nothing is expensive.

“Without the U.S, Canada doesn’t really have a country.” — Trump today, while once again threatening tariffs and again saying we should become a state. Think about that statement. Can ANY American possibly not understand how OUTRAGEOUSLY INSULTING that is to your closest friend & ally? Seriously?

That really is quite the headline, from the pretty right-wing Wall Street Journal.

For me, it seems that 99% of global political discourse centers on topics that are completely irrelevant. There are 3, maybe 4, that need all attention. They are either ignored or weaponized by right-wing parties. Climate Change Immigration/Displacement Taxing the Ultra-Wealthy AI Regulations

TARIFF: A tax levied by your country that is paid for by your own citizens on things that people in your country want to buy that other countries make or produce. Not just goods, but energy too. A tax paid for by your OWN CITIZENS. In the U.S., Trump will use tariffs to lower taxes on the rich.

Me, every time I drink a Ramune: I want that fucking marble so bad

We can stop reading the NYT and WaPo any time and support independent journalism instead.

How lovely! Bluesky really still has that new platform smell. Only a hint of troll so far.
