And Alberta is taking notes. Starting with controlling their teens access to healthcare.
The far-right hates liberalism in part because liberalism empowered women socially, politically, and economically, and so made them less dependent on settling for a mediocre man to provide for them. So they want to destroy liberalism to return women to a state of powerlessness and dependence.
The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

This is horrifying for so many reasons. The one I'm thinking of right now is the billion dollars spent to torture and terrorize and imprison people could easily buy all of us healthcare, child care, parental leave, affordable housing ... all the things the Epstein Class swears we can't afford.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

Just learned that the testicles of sparrows increase in size by over 100 times every spring. I hope everyone has a nice day.

"These items were to be turned in by Delegates immediately following the event, not taken home as souvenirs.”

Good grief.

Having to wait months… or years to resolve disputes with CRA is ridiculous.

It took DAYS for me to reach a human at CRA just to report a death. Then you get a recording threatening to cut you off if you get angry on the call??

Slashing jobs is insanity & Ai is useless.

Stompin' Tom Connors was a Canadian legend.
He wrote over 300 songs and released four dozen albums that focused on Canada's history, culture and places.
He was Canadian to the core.
This is his story.

I love this.
I honestly have very vivid memories of learning to skate as a wee one. Shuffling along with my right hand on the boards while Mom walked on the left side of me. It was that memorable.

I don't remember hearing about bus accidents like this before. And rolling? Never.
It was a school bus in Manitoba a few weeks ago, now this.
My first thought is... slow down.

It’s actually very frightening to fully realize there is a segment of the population who want their children to be
*uneducated*
(home schooled),
*pregnant as teens*
(control their access to healthcare),
and ultimately, under the control of others before they’ve even reached their 20’s.
