It seems pretty clear that when people refer to “crime” what they are really speaking about is visible social disorder. Unhoused people sleeping visibly reads as “crime” more than actual crime stats that are less visible.

I think the reality in 2025 is people will only ever engage with the specific content in the post. Links are irrelevant. Previous posts are irrelevant.
Increases in paywalls probably affected some of this. People don't want to go to another site or load an article. Not a great situation.

While removing the town of Slave Lake from the Slave Lake riding does sound dumb, rural ridings are always going to be huge. Saying it is way bigger than the Netherlands is evocative, but meaningless. How many people live there?

I’m in Alberta Canada at a community event with non-political people and I hear parents talk about cancelling Disney Plus over this.
I think this one is really breaking through.

Before World War 1 the area was part of the Ottoman Empire. After the war, and until the creation of Israel it was under British Control as per a League of Nations mandate.

My pet theory: everyone driving the bus right now is from areas like business and finance. They are fundamentally IR Realists. Even if they wouldn't say they are part of that ideological tradition, they are.
Also some everything is gender stuff too around military being strong and masculine.

Has a Canadian political party ever gone from majority to zero in one cycle? PCs still had two. Socreds in BC kept 7 in '91. I cannot think of any.
That is incredible.

Agreed. Our constitution in Canada is literally nearly impossible to amend. U.S. is bad but ours in worse in terms of being able to change it.

Oh ya. Nordics are not great for trans people. Spain is much better.

Even with the backsliding here in Alberta, Canada is likely the best country in the world to be a trans person, or LGBTQ in general.
“Great nation on earth”? Questionable. But “greatest” on some important things, certainly.

I wish I could like this 100 times. I have found myself watching groups of people walking to churches or mosques near me and feeling intense longing for that.
On the left we seem to have thought the internet could replace it but it’s not the same and I hope we can fix this.

Yes. Neighborhood haves leagues which are community groups partially funded by the city. Many have halls and they run events and stuff like that.

Edmonton fits in the “I don’t want to die” area.

Still lots of people here in Edmonton fighting to claw back the gains we have made. The battle is never done.
I’m on the board of my community league. A league right next to U of A. A homeowner told me recently the neighbourhood can change when they are dead. Not until then.

There are obviously some red lines like LGBTQ rights, but I would vote for whoever says ‘let’s build all the trains.’

Will, we disagree on a ton. But fuck me, I’m not going to jettison any trans allies in this fight.
You have a platform and are using it to help people like me in the USA. Thank you.

These people will never recover from entering a space where they found out they weren’t the progressive champions they imagined themselves to be. They will forever live in 2017 Twitter.

Attention. They need attention. Carney is sucking up all the oxygen and so the only way they know how to get any attention is to be ridiculous.

The only bright spot of this hellscape is that Canadians, and other people too, are now willing to be honest with Americans about how over we are of their shit.
The Americans seem totally surprised by this.
