democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

Thank you @undertow.bsky.social! I'm excited to burrow myself into these on the Canadian long weekend.
My weird fiction exposure so far has been Vandermeer, Mieville, and mostly older works and I'm trying to read more widely and discover new authors because: what a gorgeous genre.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?
How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.
"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Esp from a former (albeit elitist) climate champion. Hard right turn from his Tragedy of the Horizons speech to let's market ourselves as greener oil vs non-democratic oil countries under guise of global peace and cont to reap massive royalties, while the taxpayer funds stranded future assets
Mark Carney continues to use the phrase “decarbonized oil” to try to greenwash a new oil pipeline for Alberta. It’s so shameless and I would argue it even shows contempt for the public to be so dishonest.

The public will pay for very expensive pipelines that are not necessary (see: cheap low carbon alternatives) and saddles us with stranded assets. Investors don't wanna pay for that shit, they have already figured out it's not a good return UNLESS the taxpayer holds the bag. Don't be fooled Canada!
No public funds for pipelines
Pass it on
Pass it on
Vipond says he’s worried that, if funded by tax dollars, a pipeline won’t payback its initial investments.
“At a time where building a pipeline is a risky endeavour, that risk should be taken on by private capital,”
