Bulldozing over regulations that protect health / the environment and bypassing community consultation, that is not "nation building".

Super shitty that the Conservatives have a long-running pattern of ousting leaders who lose, but they're bending over backwards to keep Poilievre, the most overtly right-wing and hateful bigot they've had at the helm in a long while. This really doesn't bode well for Canada, folks.

🚨 #Bill5 will grant the govt sweeping powers to override municipal bylaws & environmental protections.
This is an anti-democratic POWER GRAB.

In the rush to have a worthwhile discussion if Gen AI is reclaimable for leftists, people miss one of its biggest dangers to art—homogenization. It cranks out status quo narratives, reinforcing hegemonic ideals as it flattens expression. The danger isn’t JUST workforce automation—it’s normalization.

If you want your city to solve the homeless problem, but you don't support any of the budgets or programs to provide shelter and support for the homeless, what you're actually advocating is genocide.
Keep that in mind when you speak out.

My brother was unable to go downtown to get his bus pass at the one place that issued them cheaper (for disability reasons). It was not a safe place to be if you were not white-passing enough. He lost job opportunities because of it.
I've gotten into a TikTok tussle with mischief-convict Chris Barber. He and his Convoy goons are gaslighting that the "protest" was peaceful. In this CBC article, you'll find the OPC Report that documents the abuse during the occupation of Ottawa. It's a good read.

Today is election day. If you have not voted yet, go out and vote, no matter who you support.
In our first election in 1867, only about 11% of adults could vote due to property, gender and race restrictions.
Now nearly every adult can vote.
So go out and do it!

a reminder that "death of the author" is not a balm to assuage your guilt for engaging w/ media made by hateful people
it's a media theory that ignores author intent, preferring reader interpretation
so sure "miku" wrote it, but you still gave a bigot your money and they're using it to harm folks
