In case you're wondering, yes there are still "wait and see" Carney apologists in comments. Nothing is going to wake them up until after it's too late.

The rent on the Halifax townhouse I’m sharing for the summer has increased 53% in 3 years. It’s changed (renter) hands twice in that time, so that increase was legal. But… 53 percent in 3 years? People. That’s a scam. That’s a scam to drain money from ordinary people and enrich the wealthy.

Don't get me wrong, I have my own complaints about Trudeau, but maybe we should consider why Russia and the U.S. have been working so hard to sway opinion about his leadership 🤷

Planning a Covid safe book launch took months and THOUSANDS of my own dollars ensuring testing, outdoor space, far UV lights, and a litany of other precautions. Meanwhile u dumbfucks are out raw dogging the air and spewing ur disease laden breath all over ur elderly neighbors. We are not the same

This is a very old tactic. I might be an old white cishet male, but the first time antivaxxers targeted me at work for my blogging was April 2005. I realize that I probably have suffered little from such attacks because of my privilege. sciencebasedmedicine.org/is-defending...

what really annoys me is that we don't have to wait until the wheels fall off [your preferred vehicle] before we actually improve the situation. (this applies broadly to everything right now.)

I missed this earlier today. In an update this afternoon, Halifax Water acknowledged that “it should have notified customers about the interruption of fluoridation at both J. Douglas Kline (Pockwock Lake) and Lake Major water supply plants over the past several years.”

Good definition for a term thrown around often: "Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege." — Tommy Douglas

Welcome to Walking Eagle News: Bluesky Edition: Journalism so deeply and profoundly Indigenous, our full-back tattoo of Sitting Bull has a full-back tattoo of Chief Joseph. (Wolf howls in distance)

I was arguing with someone who had bullshit "facts," but then I thought, hey, why bother? So I blocked them. This Bluesky thing doesn't have to be like Twitter, and it isn't. That's a good thing.

So, corporations deduct from taxable income, all of their annual operating costs - their premises, their heat & power - every expense related to their existence. Why can't humans?

I wanted to see if Siri was any better in iOS 18.2, so I summoned it and asked “Surely it won’t rain today.” “No it won’t,” Siri replied. “And don’t call me Shirley.” That’s when I realized I left my iPhone in Airplane mode.

I encourage people to send even a short email to the Premier's office. I know that it probably won't result in any immediate action, but the greater numbers of emails sent to the office demonstrates that he doesn't have strong support for his public statement.

If you're writing about declining health, drop in cognition, rapid rise in disability, etc, and you don't even consider the hypothesis that it could be due to a virus that is known to do those things and continues to infect nearly everyone repeatedly, your article will be absurd.
