Lol

I'm reminded of the Nuremberg hangman who intentionally bungled the execution of a bunch of Nazis to ensure they died slowly and painfully.

Time Magazine quoting a @thebeaverton.com article about the US shooting a "patriot missile" at Parliament Hill like it's something Pete Hoekstra actually said might be my favourite moment of the week. Congrats, @ianmmacintyre.bsky.social, you very serious reporter! www.cbc.ca/news/world/b...

Remember:

Yermak is not the story. Corrruption is not the story. The story is the concerted effort by 'parties unknown' (i.e the United States) to undermine Zelenskyy as President and Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at a VERY crucial time when Ukraine's survival is at stake.

Great thread here that's worth reading

The entire purpose of building research on a citational structure is that the inevitable flaws are traceable and stable enough in their location that the overall field structure can take those mistakes/debates into account as part of the field discourse.

“Rather than reinvesting those profits in the Canadian economy, the four companies paid out $79.7 billion in dividends and share buybacks, nearly ¾ of which went to foreign shareholders, including 62% to American shareholders.” www.theenergymix.com/u-s-owned-oi...

Yes please

This is the result of the CIA using children to kill people and yet a whole lot of people don’t want to recognize *American* culture, and in particular the culture of the War on Terror, at work here.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

but what if the magic beans were 🇨🇦 Canadian 🇨🇦

Say what you will about the Conservatives, but at least they would have stabbed you in the front.

Carney to reporters: there won’t be a pipeline without a private investor. Carney to the chamber of commerce: here are all the ways we’re bending over backwards to attract a private investor:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The details of the Northern Gateway debate may have faded from our memories. (They certainly did from mine, I realized, while working on this article!) So here's a little refresher on what the country went through the last time an MOU was signed on a pipeline from Alberta's oilsands to BC's coast:

Is everyone ready for their third/fourth/fifth "once in a lifetime" economic crisis?

I'm as disappointed with Carney as anyone, but y'all should actually read the wording of this release. Alberta must submit a proposal for a privately funded and constructed pipeline with First Nations ownership and approval.

Never felt more patriotic than I have while reading this thread 🍁

thats how we got this guy

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

All you need to know about AI being bad is who it's strongest, most vocal supporters are. Literally just the pile of the worst people.

So for my majority Non-Canadian followers: the Notwithstanding Clause is a clause in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms (our bill of rights) that basically lets the government go "nuh-uh" to human rights for a period of 5 years...and after five years, you can just...use it again. No cooldown.

from government by consultant to government by consultants using generative AI. decades of degrading government capacity to actually govern has left it open to further degradation through ai hype and perceptions it enables further cost cutting.

Canada doesn’t have a failing healthcare system. It has 10 provincial and 3 territorial healthcare systems and at least 8 of them are being maliciously dismantled by corrupt premiers.

Steal some working class voters from the soon-to-be leaderless CPC; steal from the Liberals some voters who like to be thought of as progressive. Selling out didn’t win a government. A real left party probably can’t get 170 seats, but they could get 70-80. They could be a threat & feel good about it

The right-wing Carney liberals have a near-majority and will be stable for a few years, but their popularity is about to nosedive. The entire terrain of the left is open to the NDP. They can be bold and win back working class voters.

If they are still asking this, they deserve to lose more by-elections and fire more strategists. If you don’t have firm principles, what is the power even for? My whole adult life they’ve faced this choice and picked “power,” and where has it got them? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

If even the Haisla Nation are opposed, there's zero chance this project ever receives any significant First Nations support.

There's a reason Smith and the UCP are trying to ram through a new pipeline right fuckin' now. What little business case there may be is quickly evaporating.

Solidarity with @teamsters.bsky.social , who sanctioned our strike nationwide and won't be delivering food, picking up trash, or bringing packages across picket lines! ✊🔥 #NoContractNoCoffee

Doug Ford *falsely claiming* he has the power to audit his enemies when he doesn’t actually have that power is still a news story But it’s kind of a different story than one uncritically accepting the premise that the Premier of Ontario can order the federal government to audit his enemies

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Many men feel the stripper really likes them. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something

“Better than duct tape, more versatile than WD-40 — it’s the notwithstanding clause, the all-purpose tool that wipes away every provincial stain, from labour disputes to human rights.” @steveburgess53.bsky.social advises. #canpoli #abpoli #bcpoli

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

What

Marge from the church breakfast committee is about to go John Brown on this fascist rent-a-cop and meanwhile Eric Swalwell and other Congressional and Senate Dems want "masks off and badges out", the nice middle ground.

In which Zack Budryk perfectly captures the feeling many #ActuallyAutistic people feel in this particular moment of RFK Jr.'s resurgence: We felt like we were turning the corner on autism acceptance. And now we are seeing that door closed off. www.welcometohellworld.com/i-will-not-g...

Finally getting rid of Jenny Byrne only to replace her with Danielle Smith's campaign manager is the most on-brand thing possible for Poilievre.

I work in the building trades in BC. I work on O&G projects, pipelines, LNG plants, and in refineries. It pays my bills, provides for my family, and allows us to live a decent life. Even I don't want another goddamn oil pipeline. 🧵

Using the voters list as a political weapon against a constituent feels like perfectly reasonable grounds for a recall to me.

First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

I have 3 degrees, an MA in War Studies, 14 years uniformed service, attended staff college. I have 25 years experience teaching JK-12. I have been actively shot at in theatre. Teaching elementary is far more stressful and soul destroying than anything I ever experienced in the Canadian Forces.
