Just had the horrible realization that Ontario’s premier is a Weeble who keeps getting in trouble but somehow never gets knocked down.

It’s infuriating.

Anyhoo, here’s some fairly damning photographic evidence that Doug Ford is, in fact, an entirely manufactured relic that should be retired.

A grid of 6 photos.

On the left side of the grid are photos of a pale, blond plastic toy.

On the right side of the grid are photos of a pale, blond plastic premier.

The highest in 800,000 years. — www.newscientist.com/article/2500...

CO2 levels in Earth's atmosphere jumped by a record amount in 2024

The global average concentration of CO2 surged by 3.5 parts per million to reach 423.9 ppm last year, fuelling worries that the planet’s ability to soak up excess carbon is weakening

Today, Danielle Smith will unveil Alberta’s new vehicle license plate that features a slogan: “Strong & Free”.

Smith will surely argue that it is featured on Alberta’s coat of arms however, we all know that’s it’s a dogwhistle for separatists and, is new plate a priority?

When I was in management, the number 1 credo with my staff was 'control the controllables'. We can not fix things that are out of our control, but rather, how can we improve that which we have control over. I continue to believe in our current government.

Fair Vote Canada 🗳️🍁 @fairvote.ca · 22h

Newfoundland and Labrador’s election shows the problem again. A party can win a majority of seats without majority support.

Proportional representation would make every vote count equally and ensure real majority rule.

Two pie charts compare votes and seats in Newfoundland and Labrador’s election. The left chart shows the popular vote: PCs 44.5%, Liberals 43.7%, NDP 8.4%, Independents 3.9%. The right chart shows seat share: PCs 52.5%, Liberals 37.5%, NDP 5%, Independents 5%. The graphic highlights how first past the post gave the PCs a majority of seats despite not having majority voter support, with a message calling for proportional representation.

100% agree we need to disentangle ourselves as much as possible from the former united states but as integration with them was decades in the making, so too will be disentanglement. I will wait to see the budget and announcements on F35, golden dome... before I consider pulling my support.
