I always wondered how it would happen, how the US collapse might happen. Now I know, it's deliberate, universities under attack, health departments and research destroyed, civil service gone... All to serve the flavour of the day. The US is putting its own lights out.

As we age we change, we loose friends our circle draws in. Dealing with an elderly relative now that has a very small circle, who will not tend her lamps not connect with others, expecting others to reach out to her... Do not let your lights dim, reach out, say hello, have tea, share and be present.

I remember as a kid wondering what 2025 would look like.
We all speculated flying cars, robots doing work...
Never would I have imagined the world got completely stupid as we are now.
We can see the problems, there are solutions to the problems, but we don't act.
Why? Because greed won't let us.

It's becoming clear that AI images are a real problem, previously people would scream fake at every image... Even when it was clearly photographic proof of a thing. Now, all images are suspect... This is not good. (I'm not arguing against AI but I am concerned about where we're going with it.

The experiment with running a society based on "Rule of Law" has failed. Trump, found guilty, faces no penalty. Men, without trial, sent into permanent exile at the whim of the king. Loyalty to the king is the primary priority, not skill. We have returned to fuedal rule. /2 🧵

We’ve got a lot to build in this country, and we need a lot more builders.
So we’ll cover training costs and make it easier to work anywhere in Canada.
It’s going to be a great time to be in the skilled trades.

The economy is going to tank so bad. If only we had an economist, who has experienced international financial crises before, running to be the next PM of Canada.

Canada should begin to actively move our product regulations to align with the EU standards. Americans want to sell to Canada? Abide by EU standards. We sell only in Metric and international prices are listed in Euros not USD.

The conservatives have given up. The courts, rightly, block them from abusing their authority, from torture, extra judicial extradition, invasion of privacy, civil rights abuses and they don't care anymore. They are now willing to ignore the courts in the name of their cause and "common sense".

From now on the first trip for a Canadian PM should be the UK followed by France and Germany!

I've always thought that fiction books were always wild... that the Evil Bad Guy would have power, and people would follow them, willingly. That they would run countries etc. Now I know how it happens.
Evil is the lack of empathy, it's placing money before people. We're there.

Remember that the conservatives and Pierre Poilievre's rhetoric only work if Canada is 'Broken' if it's all doom and gloom and desperation. Same way that Trump is manufacturing a crisis to justify his tarrifs, Poulievre will say he must 'fix everything'... /2
