His reply was a doozy.

I've posted this #theology question once or twice before, but...
Does anyone have a good article or essay criticizing the reduction of Christianity to self-help from a liberal, progressive, or liberationist perspective?

I’m not really surprised that Canada as a whole and I have different opinions of the PM
Mark Carney’s favourability holds steady at +12 net, while Pierre Poilievre’s has fallen to -7, his lowest in over a year.

So is anyone claiming the deal to reopen the US government is good? If so, why?

I can’t find it, but I feel like we need the “we don’t know anything” breaking news graphic that shows up here in the immediate aftermath of disasters and shootings for thinly-sourced anonymous reports of potential shutdown deals, as well.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

I have to admit I get a little confused when I see stuff about WWI near Remembrance Day that suggests Canadian soldiers in WWI gave their lives defending democracy.
I..... am unsure about the historical claim that WWI was about defending / attacking democracy.

Not an Anglican, but I took a "What kind of Anglican are you?" quiz.
I am amused.
I am also completely comfortable with the category it put me in.
