My keeper for the day: "Fascists don't deliver tax cuts, only misery."
Remember that when some electoral candidate is offering to cut your taxes.
Taxes are a way for all of us to get 'volume discounts' on health care/transportation systems/education/infrastructure.
You want that cut?
Wait until they’re disappeared.

Conservatives always find out too late that fascists don’t deliver tax cuts, only misery.
Are these a branch of the same people who will decide whether to launch a nuclear attack?

"The premier on Alberta Primetime last week said you had withdrawn your request to have your petition question go to a general referendum. What’s your reaction to what she had to say?"

Thomas Lukaszuk: I don’t know what reality the premier lives in. It’s completely a lie.

Canada builds bridges literally and figuratively.

Canadians are tired of the lies, the hate and division.

We are a peaceful nation, but we will stand up to those who try and tear us down. 🍁🇨🇦💪🏻😏

I sent this amulet to Africa. I have a friend who lives in Ghana, and this was a gift for him. It is a stylized 'alien' after smoking weed. It's about 5cm wide.

I accept commissions and can ship worldwide.

After a trial over the last few years, Ireland has launched a permanent scheme giving a basic income of €325 a week for artists.

2,000 will be eligible, and successful recipients will be chosen at random from applicants, who must be "professional artists" (definition tbc).

People talking about terrible teachers and gender bias in STEM fields & I can remember when the anatomy teacher tried to keep a girl from going on a field trip to Chico State to view a cadaver. Her mom raised absolute hell & now that girl has a Ph.d in molecular biology and leads R&D.

Good point. Do you have an idea when that was?
Local high school in 1990s, Jehovah Witness 'Guidance Counsellor' was advising high school girls not to go into post secondary engineering/maths/sciences b/c they were girls & "only likely to get married & raise families".
He didn't last long at job.
