What's your favourite Canada fact? Mine is that the RCMP bombed an oil site in Alberta in 1998 "with the full support of the energy company that owned it" and blamed a farmer for it.

In 2022, a group of SpaceX employees wrote an open letter asking the co to distance itself from Elon Musk's online behavior. They were fired and the NLRB opened an investigation.
Then Musk funded Trump's election win. Now, the Trump NLRB has dismissed the case.

Rep Raskin reports he reviewed the full unredacted Epstein Files & Trump's name appears MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES.
We knew of 38K times—meaning we know of only ~3% of Trump's involvement with a convicted child sexual abuser & sex trafficker.
Anyone still unwilling to impeach & remove is complicit.

Always a great sign for how things are going in your country when 21-year-olds are like “hey, I innovated a system to play bagpipes in tear gas”
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

As Donald Trump threatens us over the Gordie Howe Bridge (which we paid for) we learn that the Canadian government has quietly added to the number of F-35s its purchasing.
Now it is time to buy from allies instead of enemies.

Good to see solar and onshore wind coming in a lot cheaper than offshore here. They are by some distance the cheapest new electricity generation capacity we can build in Britain.
BREAKING: UK govt auction secures 4.9GW new solar at £65/MWh and 1.3GW new onshore wind at £72/MWh, 13% and 21% below the price cap respectively.
All due online by 2029.

I read 2 bits of trivia today, so I'm putting them together.
Over 2100 people in Saskatchewan have been killed by COVID-19, according to government counting. I think that's low, by maybe a lot.

It's overwhelmingly clear now why our so called "leaders" haven't done anything to save the planet or protect human rights. They were too busy destroying the planet for profit, running genocides, and flying on private jets to private islands to prey on children, in every possible deranged way.

I really don't know how people do it. How does the average person expect to survive the next decade? The last 6 years have gone terribly, and there is no expectation of improvement. Most Canadians have been infected by COVID-19 at least once, especially children. Given what we've been able to confirm about the harm it does, it's not unreasonable to expect kids today who survive to adulthood will experience dozens of infections.
