This continues to be just crazy in terms of matching priorities with capacities. How can Canada expect to implement an aggressive new diplomatic strategy in a rapidly changing world while gutting the staff tasked with actually implementing it? www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

During the Cold War, nuclear war felt so horrifying that people worked to avoid it. Today, oligarchs and capitalists feel WWIII is inevitable because it’s what capitalism encourages so they prepare to capitalize on it after it as leaders of capitalist states, so they’re actively manifesting it.

The US is a fascist empire and we are on the wrong side of history still allying with them.

no innocents in jenin, no innocents in gaza, no innocents anywhere in iran, no innocents in southern lebanon. none too in yemen. none in syria. vanishingly few innocents in qatar. a worrying shortage of innocents in greek, maltese, and tunisian territorial waters

BIG: Israel is accelerating strikes on Iran’s arms industry, fearing a U.S.-Iran peace plan could halt the war before key objectives are met. Netanyahu ordered the military to act within 48 hours to target Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. Source: NYT

This is why the taboo against Nazism was so important to maintain, because taking the hard line against it was the only correct stance. Sympathy with fascism is sympathy with the boot on the neck of The Other, full stop.

The extent of Carney's mass surveillance legislation is barely getting attention by the press, and yet this will fundamentally pivot Canada into—I am not exaggerating—a dystopian future.

Feminists have rightly pointed out that women are not believed by doctors when they say something is a problem for decades and yet these "feminists" who are reactionary anti-trans campaigners want to pretend like they're the real champions of women.

Honestly, this is the end result of a system that knows it performs fundamentally antisocial functions, and initiates antisocial policy, therefore driving incentives to diffuse responsibility throughout its bureaucratic architecture, such that no one can ever be found responsible for anything

Taps the sign

The arts are human expression for communication. They are not a top down delivery of meaningless regurgitated content from oligarchs in charge to cut costs and have more control. Especially when it relies on an energy wasting scam that threatens even our climate. bsky.app/profile/jose...

I understand the instinct to not want to flatten people into a caricature, which is a good instinct to have, but the fact of the matter is, we have let bad people do bad shit for far too long, and its time to let the lessons of history finally have their day: The hardliners are right. Get serious.

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

As someone who was working directly on the immigration portal that I imagine this lady applied through, this is entirely foreseeable. I have stories about what a fucking shit show our immigration service is that would enrage and nauseate...Canada’s reputation is not the reality.

Its like that box they ask you to tick to receive this stuff doesnt even matter smdh

Something that I think people won't pick up on immediately with this is, this is why the Democrats tried to run Joe Biden again. Having a demented president is an incredible opportunity for existing political power structures in the US to force policy choices that a lucid individual might challenge

Look, I don't wanna come off as a "SuRpRiSeD??$?" guy here, but: If you are doing anything contrary to the priorities of the Canadian state, publically, you must assume that the RCMP is monitoring you. If you are in a group that does such a thing, you must assume that the RCMP have infiltrated you.

I believe that any healthy country should revise its Constitution at least once a decade. Principles that govern your nation should not rest inside of a dead document

I believe that the plans of American-Canadian integration were proposed during Trump's first term, I believe that Trudeau was on-boarded into an America First plan, either through coercion or cooperation, and I think that Carney is just picking up the torch, and carrying it on sans decorum

You kinda get the feeling that Mark Carney knows what he wants to do, and isn't especially interested in spending time on the oh-so-Canadian performance of soliciting input from stakeholders or the public at large.

Case in point Hockey Canada is the most well resourced NSO in Canada. They have a long history of myriad forms of abuse. Being well resourced has helped them cover things up and settle claims, but there is no evidence that it has resulted in a safer system for children.

This is such a disaster and anyone who pushes this as a solution to anything is a godammned fool.

yes i can

Shot, chaser. Predicted and predictable, because this is what happens when you automate with AI. The cost of Mark Carney’s AI rollout will be measured in ruined lives. Expect similar outcomes at scale across the entire government. 🎁 www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...
