The thing that bothers me so much about Carney's joke about greenlighting the Heated Rivalry show is that it furthers the narrative that it's a needle in a haystack. Anyone who reads Canadian books and watches Canadian film knows that we could have dozens more HRs with enough funding.

On the 54th anniversary of Bloody Sunday we are reminded that all oppressed and occupied peoples are brothers and sisters and we are all working in service of the same victory, however dim or bright the hope seems in any moment, from Derry to Gaza to Iran to Minneapolis

Albertans do not own Alberta. It is the land of the Indigenous people. If people wish to join the USA, there are ways to do so. Although, they may want to check how they treat immigrants.

Alberta has been quietly removing books from school libraries, but not listing which ones. Turns out most titles have themes related to 2SLGBTQ+ people

Since the international student flow has gone down to zero schools can’t fund their departments as well and therefore quality goes down for EVERY student.
The moral of the story is that I believe this was fueled by racism

Cutting Health, funding to Indigenous peoples, Food Inspection, environmental monitoring....to boost funding to defence and technocrats is certainly a choice.
Milton Dyck, national president of the Agriculture Union, says cuts to food safety cause more people to get sick from preventable food-borne illnesses.
Food inspection agency to cut more than 1,300 jobs, says union

Once again, TikTok as a whole has not been sold, not even the US part in its entirety, just a part of their US operations. Even the ads and ecommerce features are AFAICT still under Bytedance, so the US operation seems to mostly be user data and custom training for the ‘algorithm’

People are asking why the folks that are constantly yelling about “tyrannical government” are silent now?
That’s easy—they’re all white settlers, many of them male, who actually love government oppression against people they dont like.
They just don’t like the government telling THEM what to do.

People don't get that continually allowing your government to dehumanize people "over there" who maybe don't look like you inevitably leads to them dehumanizing people here who *do* look like you, because they *are* you.
