I did a deep-dive into US ambassador Pete Hoekstra's links to the Alberta separatists' voter ID app Hoekstra repeatedly promoted the app at 2024 Trump rallies Hoekstra helped them organize presentations, is connected with the app's founder and the founder's wealthy step-father was a past donor 👇

The media’s penchant for invoking a nation’s “right to defend itself,” typically followed by the rationalization of mass civilian killing, was reserved almost exclusively for Israel.

I’m afraid that too many people don’t understand just how terrible the Biden pandemic response was—and how it contributed to Trump’s return. I also fear that given how much this administration has dismantled public health, the appetite for looking back and identifying points of failure is low.

Postmodern-ass bird.

Canada is not on track to meet any of its climate targets — not even the long-term goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 — thanks to “the removal or weakening of climate policies” over the last year, according to a February report by the Canadian Climate Institute.

The Trump administration has seized $120M USD owned by the Canadian pension fund earmarked for a wind development — and demanding the pension-backed company invest in fossil fuels instead.

The actual narrative is that the states are using psychological warfare to undermine Canadian sovereignty and this is how he talks about it.

gosh it's almost like telling people its fine to not give a fuck about public health is backfiring spectacularly. who could've possibly predicted this?

If you don't give a shit about Covid and don't give a shit about hantavirus, I get it. If you are still Covid-conscious and are concerned about hantavirus, I get it.

"What is meaning? I don’t know, but I may know what its opposite is: thinking that nothingness is easy to bear." - Mahmoud Darwish

For any new outbreak there is a lot of daylight between "Panic! It's COVID 2.0!" and "Nothing to worry about". 1) There's never a time to panic. 2) Mass panic is very improbable (didn't even happen with COVID -- unless you count hoarding toilet paper) 3) Minimizing infectious disease causes harm.

Pretty fishy headline the week after the traitors leaked the entire province’s voter rolls.

“An Edmonton city councillor says he and his team are helping a woman facing intimate partner violence relocate with her children after her address was leaked in an alleged privacy breach by a separatist group.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Further abandonment of the marginalised folks who were abandoned when we had to start ignoring the pandemic. We collectively allowed this.

David Graeber explains the relationship between Markets and States. (spoiler, Ayn Rand was wrong).

Now that separatists have access to the voters’ list (containing contact information and address of every Albertan), they set up an internal search engine for looking up Albertans. This unprecedented illegal leak, aimed at helping them win the referendum, puts Albertans at risk. #ableg #cdnpoli

It’s the current business model of every tech company, what’s the problem?

Devil is in the details: the projects being financed won’t be solely limited to “national interest” projects; is funded by deficit spending and is going to allow private investors to buy extra shares; and basically just serves to de-risk private sector. This is a glorified and maplewashed PPP, lmao

Remember when the final episode was about how they initiated runaway climate catastrophe via unrestrained capitalism, heralded by keystone species extinction that was handwaved away in the name of "progress" Then it was strongly implied they all died Ha ha ha

A social media ban for children is the kind of thing you do when you don't have the political will or ability (or understanding) to address the underlying problem: these companies are bad actors whose for-profit, data-collection business model incentivizes bad behaviour.

So then, shall we tax oil and gas companies at 78 per cent, like Norway does, but also allow them to deduct their industrial carbon taxes (which would, at $130 per tonne, average 50 cents per barrel)? Do we have a deal, Mr. Energy Exec? Or are you just complaining for the sake of complaining?
