Province rejects golf course proposal for West Mabou Beach Provincial Park - Halifax Examiner
Opposition to the project – including from the Tourism Industry Association of Nova Scotia and environmental groups across the province – had ramped up in recent days.

The strength of our country depends on the strength of our democracy. A fair voting system can bring Canadians back together to solve problems, not score points. 🟢 #ElectoralReform #VoteForIt

CBC once again called the Ksi Lisims LNG project “Indigenous-led” on the National last night, despite the fact that it’s 100% American-owned by a Texas shell company, Western LNG.

Yikes!!!!!

Anyway, here’s a very funny video that breaks this down: youtu.be/Lt6Hmp9ndkI?...

With everything going on these days, it’s easy to miss when local governments get up to some sketchy stuff.

Take Vancouver, where Mayor Ken Sims is planning to eliminate the city’s sustainability and climate department!!!

Yes, really.

My partners at @nationalobserver.com have the scoop:

Gonna share this here because anything helps right now. I’m also working on selling pretty much everything I own so I can start over in a better place with someone I love.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Hannah Arendt perfectly explains how authoritarianism works.
The image contains a passage of text discussing totalitarianism, highlighting the persecution of intellectual activity and the suppression of free initiative under such regimes. Some sections of the text are highlighted in different colors: A portion of the text in yellow-green states that mass leaders persecute intellectual activities not just out of resentment but due to an inability to understand them. A section in dark purple emphasizes that "total domination does not allow for free initiative in any field of life, for any activity that is not entirely predictable." Another yellow-green highlighted section critiques totalitarianism for replacing first-rate talents with less competent individuals who guarantee loyalty. The text visually contrasts regular black-background white text with highlighted sections to emphasize key ideas about the nature of totalitarian leadership and suppression of intellectual and creative expression.

Most notable:
→ erasing trans people from the law
→ attacking trans people's IDs & federal identification (I expect a trans passport ban to come into effect tomorrow afternoon)
→ detransitioning trans women prisoners and sending them to men's prisons

archive.is/Jjdn4
President Trump has addressed all this and more in an expansive executive order he will sign tomorrow afternoon called “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.” Here is what the order sets out: The Executive Order establishes Government-wide the biological reality of two sexes and clearly defines male and female. All radical gender ideology guidance, communication, policies, and forms are removed. Agencies will cease pretending that men can be women and women can be men when enforcing laws that protect against sex discrimination. “Woman” means an “adult human female.” The Executive Order directs that Government identification like passports and personnel records will reflect biological reality and not self-assessed gender identity. The Executive Order ends the practice of housing men in women’s prisons and taxpayer funded “transition” for male prisoners. The Executive Order ends the forced recitation of “preferred pronouns” and protects Americans’ First Amendment and statutory rights to recognize the biological and binary nature of sex. This includes protection in the workplace and in federal funded entities like schools.

I’ve had it with AI-generated slop.

It’s a tool used by those in charge to drain us of any sense of human creativity — and by extension, humanity as a whole.

And when I see people using it — even if it’s just to create a Luigi meme — it worries me in re: what comes next.

Every conservative columnist right now.
The image features a cropped screenshot of an article headline, authored by Alice Thomson, titled "Don’t replace the culture war with class war." Below the headline, a crying man meme is superimposed with text saying: "Bro please don’t worry about why you pay more in taxes than billionaires. Worry about the War on Christmas & The Trans Agenda. Please bro. Stay distracted bro."

"A four-panel Yu-Gi-Oh! meme. In the first panel, Seto Kaiba smugly holds up a card labeled 'Trans people aren’t real.' In the second panel, Yugi responds with confidence, holding a card labeled 'Governments aren’t real.' In the third panel, Kaiba looks shocked as his own card reads 'Government,' while Yugi’s card now reads 'Trans.' In the final panel, Kaiba is shown screaming in defeat as the realization hits him."

A lil tip for the folks with shoe polish on their lips today :)
Excerpt from Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny:" "1. Do not obey in advance." "Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."
