I'm sorry - the feckless Premier who doesn't let the V-word pass her lips when it comes to measles or Covid, but wants to develop one for birds?? The irony is thick.
Screenshot of part of the article that reads "Smith says there should be anew approach because most of the flock at Universal Ostrich Farms survived the outbreak, and there could be something to learn about "whether there's an immunity or some kind of vaccine" thatcouldbe developed." Smith is likely not aware enough to understand the irony.

"Oohay" if you're feeling fabulous 💅
Large freestanding red and white block letters spell the word YAHOO, but when you look at them from the back, they spell "OOHAY" Happy Stampede, folks!

I mean...somehow this part right here is the most enraging part. As long as the men are comfortable, all is right int he fucking world.
Screenshot of article that reads: "Mr. Newton conceded it was unusual, but he felt it was important to get the players' version of events on the record, and this was a format that would allow the men to feel comfortable." So the detective was more worried about the alleged rapists comfort than doing a full investigation.

And yet... That's not actually what I said, but do keep making stuff up. Comprehension isn't your strong suit, clearly. (Unless you're in the habit of calling people that agree with you "crazy" - I suppose anything's possible)
Copy and paste of previous post that says "Reason #1: kids who are being molested will have affirmation that what's happening to them is wrong and may find the courage to report."

This is older, based on EKOS and some work they did on how much disinformation people "bought into" and the correlation is interesting. Not about education, per se, but more about susceptibility and critical thinking skills, IMO.
Graph labeled "Vote Intention By Disinformation" has bars showing vote intention on a national level, as well as the level of disinformation survey respondents had bought into. The surveys were conducted by EKOS BASE: Canadians; September 19-24, 2023, n=1,025, MOE +/- 3.1%, 19 times out of 20. The graph shows answers to the question, "If a federal election were held tomorrow, which party would you vote for?" Answers: National average Liberal Party 23, 42 conservative, 16 NDP, 7 Green party, 3 PPC and the rest are Other. Under the "level of disinformation" section, there are 4 categories: None, Low, Moderate, and High. These are respondents who have answered a series of questions to show their level of trust in disinformation, and then assigns them a rating, and correlates their vote intention. Level of Disinformation rating = None: 36 would vote liberal, 10 would vote conservative, 35 NDP, 8 green, 1 for PPC, and 10 bloq Quebecois. Level of Disinformation rating = LOW: 28 vote liberal, 36 Conservative, 17 NDP Level of Disinformation rating = Moderate: 14 for liberal, 62 for Conservative, and 12 fo NDP Level of Disinformation rating = High: 1 would vote for liberal, 84 for Conservative, 2 for NDP, and PPC makes an appearance again with 11 people who have a HIGH buy in to disinformation planning to vote for them.

Rainy spring morning at The Farm.
A darkened kitchen, lit only with daylight. A small clear dish sits on a yellow-patterned table covering, and holds water and a few stems of yellow and orange mini petunias the dog knocked off the garden arrangement. Beyond the table is a window, lace curtains on either side, through which we see a rainy spring morning with fresh green trees in the distance. An old rotary telephone sits to the left of the window, to the right there's a 1960s vintage white radio with large black dial on a cart.

Some of the signs from @abresistance.bsky.social rally on Saturday.
Rally sign reads, "I do t even know where to start!" Rally sign reads, "Separate this Ms. Smith" and has a drawing of a hand, coloured black, with the middle finger coloured red. Its giving Premiere Smith ths bird. Chalk on sidewalk reads, "NO Referen-DUMB" as a pun on referendums. Because a referendum on leaving Canada is a stupid waste of money. Two signs being held by rally attendees. one says "This is your sign to resign" and the other says "Tolerate this, imagine what's next" - a sober warning that as much as we like laughing at the stupid UCP, they are in fact, dangerous to our health and well-being.

In Pictou County? As of yesterday, a massive search underway. I hope they are found safe.
UPDATE ON MISSING CHILDREN IN PICTOU COUNTY A coordinated search involving multiple agencies is underway in Pictou County for missing siblings Lily and Jack Sullivan. They are believed to have wandered from a home on Gairloch Road earlier today. RCMP, ground search and rescue teams from across the province, the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA), Department of Natural Resources Air Services, and specialized RCMP units including Police Dog Services and drone operators are all involved. A vulnerable missing person alert was issued for Pictou County, and while officials are grateful for public support, they are asking people to avoid the search area to ensure trained teams can operate effectively.

Mine was from "Frank".
Response to text from CPC party asking for support in the next federal election reads, "Absolutely not! He isn't Prime Minister material. Time to clean house and build a proper Conservative party again. Enough of this Harper-infused bullshit. Have a great day."

These charts from gaswizard.ca/price-history/ clearly show how the price of regular has popped right back down to where it was when the announcement was made March 14, after surging for the interim. Premium remains a bit higher. Prices are for Calgary, but you can select from a list of cities.

I didn't watch. Self care. And Rolo helped distract 🙂
A fluffy brown and toffee-coloured dog is pictured over the pointed ear of a stuffed Dracula dog toy. She waits in anticipation, her jaw slightly agape, pearly white bottom teeth peeking out. She knows she gets to dissect the toy to remove its cold, squeaking heart soon. Very soon. The fluffy brown and toffee coloured dog is laying on a multicolor carpet, snoot-deep in her new Dracula toy. A large gingerbread stuffy with a red shirt reading "Bite Me" is next to them, with a stuffed gold-antlered reindeer and half-chewed bone nearby. This pupper clearly received holiday specific toys recently, but while the Dracula was intended for her Halloween birthday, the human had hidden it in a "safe place", which meant she couldn't find it to give when the time came. So it became an "Inaguration Day of the Bloodsucking Oligarchs" stress chew toy instead.

Made a snow angel after the storm on the weekend. It was peaceful, lying under the trees.

May even appeal to a larger demo, as from certain angles, it resembles something else entirely. (Just wait til we get to Mundare! 😯)
Statue of the world's largest perogy, sitting on a fork. From this angle it resembles a hand holding a huge joint.
