Left of centre in Canada, meaning raving lunatic by US standards, and a bit right by civilized country standards.

Canada is not immune from wanna-be Trumps.
Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Amazing how upfront and unfiltered he is about his ongoing authoritarian project. The goal is to make sure the opposition can never win, and he flat-out says it.
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

I admit this article aligns with my desire for a greener future for Canada, but went further by helping me see clearly why I felt Carney's 2025 Budget was only partly on target.

No mention at all of the fact that Trump doesn't have the legal authority to do this, that plans haven't even been reviewed (because the office is closed for the government shutdown), that the size and cost estimates keep changing, etc., etc.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Canadian guy fishing in Canadian waters has his boat pushed by US Coast Guard, starts to drown, and then he's the one detained and "investigated."

And here we all thought 1984 was a work of fiction. From the Ministry of Truth, comes EITs, enteral feeding, and so forth...
At Guantánamo Bay, language is strategy. Torture becomes “enhanced interrogation techniques,” or EITs. Force-feeding hunger-striking detainees is softened into “enteral feeding.” For journalist @michelleshephard.bsky.social, the euphemisms are dizzying. thewalrus.ca/guantanamo-bay/

So long as it doesn't hurt me or anyone else, choosing to be ignorant is an option.
But Trump and DOGE trying to make us ignorant and destroy scientific data, that's completely unacceptable.

If any of you have questions about the citizenship quiz in the video, I'm here to help.
And in case you are wondering, our PM Mark Carney just called an election here in Canada. His main opponent is Pierre Poilievre, who is known by many as PP. PP is mini-Tump.
Guess who I'll be supporting.

While California burns and right-wing zealots focus on DEI distractions, 2024 was the hottest year on record - and over 1.5*C above pre-industrial levels.
This is an existential crisis, and unless governments get serious, we're all screwed.
Meanwhile, Trump is preparing to make it WAY worse.
