So Christian nationalists are trying to force the Bible into all classrooms, control women’s bodies, claw back legal equality for LGBTQ, and once stormed the U.S. capital, ignoring the constitution in trying to overthrow the elected government…but y’all are worried about Zohran and Sharia Law?

Oh really? Maybe your government could try not tariffing us, threatening our sovereignty, and get that orange, racist, wanna-be-dictator out.
Until then, it doesn’t matter how good it tastes…. we don’t want your whiskey.

You know how playgrounds often have sub-playgrounds for smaller kids and for bigger kids? What if they also had outdoor playgrounds for teens and adults, with bigger climbing structures and spinning contraptions and everything

7/ And this is, fundamentally, a far-right movement. These are the conspiracies & bad science of the Freedom Convoy. While UOF claims CFIA isn’t testing properly to gain public sympathy, UOF’s Katie Pasitney states that PCR testing is fake.

I guess when the time comes for me to adopt a new cat, it will NOT be from the Okanagan Humane Society. They made their stance clear on Facebook, and I prefer when agencies I adopt from believe in science.
6/ When a company does the “right” thing, they are love-bombed. UOF supporters shower the company with praise & favourable reviews.

I’m usually more well-spoken than this, but I’m fed up with this kind of bullshit. And more fed up with the RCMP response. It’s been getting worse and worse for a few years now with the same group….obviously the “restorative justice system” isn’t working.

Global News laid off 26 journalists in B.C. and Alberta today.
In B.C. the layoffs include virtually all of the online team, along with many others.
The business is increasingly cruel, and the hollowing out of newsrooms providing fair and reliable information continues to suck.
