Angus: American farmers who bought into Trump, thinking tariffs would help them—their markets are gone. Canada’s not making noise about it; we’re just moving in. Canadian corn is now being sold in Ireland, Spain, and the UK. Those used to be guaranteed American markets. Not anymore. #cdnpoli

MAGA is actively working on the break up of our country.
Funny that we have to read about these backroom meetings in the far right wing press while our media ignores the obvious.

She’s not wrong.

The image shows an X post by a user named "Thursday" (@ennui365) from 20 hours ago. It depicts a person standing outdoors on a grassy area, holding a sign that reads "CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM IS THE AMERICAN TALIBAN" in bold red letters. The person is wearing a red and white cap, a black jacket, black pants, and white sneakers. The background includes trees, a building, and other people, suggesting a public gathering or protest.

We’re all arrogant assholes? You know a huge chunk of us vote progressive (a solid 44%), care about social justice, believe in science (including vaccines), know climate change is real, believe the earth is round and the only thing we’re a victim of is the fucked up policies of Danielle Smith.

My point Is that births are not the only way a population increases. Regardless who had babies.

Alta Dragonheart @altadragonheart.bsky.social · Sep 15

Carney was quite honest. NDP lost because of Singh’s inconsistency. He needed to go sooner. They will rise again, but need a leader like Alberta’s Notley, or Manitoba’s Kinew. IMHO of course.

Alta Dragonheart @altadragonheart.bsky.social · Sep 15

Not all population growth is from increased births, correct? You are likely partially right, but immigration also accounts for some. One would need to see a graph showing where the increase(s) come from.
