Gross. And dangerous for our society. Time to ban Xitter.
If we are serious about preserving Canada’s democracy and sovereignty, Canadian institutions need to stop tolerating the intolerant! 👇 Amongst other things, that means blocking X, Rebel and others making $$ from purposefully purveying disinformation and division.
Karl Popper’s sage advice for democracies - don’t tolerate the intolerant!
“If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.”

FYI - Tesla shareholders include BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans, to the tune of ~$213.45M (as of March 31, 2025).
Not sure how BCI voted at this AGM, but their ongoing investment - with OUR pension $$ - in this noxious firm = complicity. Other big pension funds have already divested! 👇

We call on BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans to drop their ~$81.54M stake in Tesla. Far worse than Tesla’s litany of labour + safety issues, its CEO and 13% owner is a raging fascist threatening the US, Canada, and others. Pensions will be worthless if brownshirt billionaires kill democracy. 1/x

Even worse -- it's a pyramid scheme. Once you get these certifications, you can aspire to "Join a community of Education Champions." Seems like in-house promotion is an essential part of AI EdTech paradigm. Also seems like a cult.

You mean Victoria could become an actual grown up city and serve the needs of it's people?
The very predictable and oft-heard answer — that people who can afford to fly are so rich that they don’t need transit — is outdated and irrelevant. Transit is good for everyone: it lowers traffic and reduces greenhouse gases, irrespective of who is using it.
Stop the presses!
Next week, the Victoria Regional Transit Commission will consider the option of creating a one-seat (direct) ride from downtown Victoria to YYJ and on to Swartz Bay. This would be achieved by altering the 72 line and re-routing it to YYJ.
Thoughts? Would you take the bus to YYJ?
