In the Disinformation Age three things need to be in place for something to be acceptable as useful information:
1) source credibility.
2) source validity.
3) source texture clarity.

What the world needs now is more silliness. Enough of this being serious, make 2026 the year of fart jokes and funny walks.

The irony of living in Alberta is when gas is cheap at the pump people think things are great. Then the province runs out of money and cuts services, and we end up with 8 day ER waits.
When gas prices go up, and the coffers refill, the services stay gone. All thanks to O&G boom and bust.

I wonder if Alberta Separatists realize the crest on our flag (which they keep flying all over the place) has the St. George's Cross on it, which is our indication that we are firmly part of the Commonwealth.

The 'Forever Canadian' petition, led by former Deputy Premier Hon Thomas A. Lukaszuk, ECA, B.Ed, ICD.D, became the single most successful citizen initiative in Canadian history, collecting over 456,000 signatures—far exceeding the threshold. It should have slammed the door shut on separation talk.

Every cat on my farm chose to get in a fight, spray urine on walls, drop turds everywhere but the litter boxes, and come down with projectile diarrhea. 🤢

Me, 2025: feeds of politics, justice, change, news, economics, debate, climate change. Angry, scared, anxious, exhausted, informed.

Ask me in 12 months how it goes. Assuming I am not stuck in an asymmetric war against the USA.

The economic problems of today, and by extension the social and political problems, can be traced back to 5000 ultra-rich people, 2500 corporations, 1200 institutional investors, and 150 banking institutions.
There are 7.5 billion of us. Under 10,000 of them.

In general, people on socials are like Job's friends. You come to lent and vent. They come to explain all the ways everything is your fault, and how you did everything wrong, and that you are the maker of your own misery.
Don't be Job's friends.
