The federal government is making open threats of genocidal violence now from its social media platforms.

This is a literal turner diary or siege level Neo Nazi call to action and is an attempt to foment violence against anyone who is not white, male and Christian.

Have any provinces spoken up in defence of BC regarding Carney's exclusion of BC of the pipeline "negotiations"?

The Canadian government is a total embarrassment. Good on Kneecap.
Kneecap is suing Canadian MP Vince Gasparro for his lies and defamatory comments.

I couldn’t possibly love this any more.

Every time you see that the government is trying to raise our military spending to 5% of GDP, think about the fact that our total elementary and secondary school spending is 3.9% of GDP.

I was still smoking pipe tobacco when I did my MA, and I used smoking pipe for my breaks then. It's a good break because you need to focus on packing the pipe and on smoking—it's not like a cigarette. Anyway, that attention took my mind of my thesis and gave my thinking a break.
But anyway, I'm playing chess as little breaks while working on my dissertation, and it helps!

I think it helps because I have to focus on the game, which means I have to stop thinking about my diss.

I think I've played like 50 games of chess the last couple days. I'm definitely improving. A lot fewer blunders against opponents.

My most frequent reason for losing is time, but that's a social construct so I don't think it should count. 😁
I'm kind of enjoying being bad at things lately. I'm bad at benders and I'm bad at chess. But it's fun to learn something new.

It's nice that these concerts have little supporting before and after shows where the football players wrestle in their tight little outfits. It builds up the mood for the music.

Helo gets weirded out when I use my electric toothbrush because it seems like the noise is coming from my mouth.

I wonder if my cat thinks I'm a Cylon.

By what, doing everything the US does? Canada is not exceptional, and neither is the US. The logic of exception runs through all nationalisms and cannot be maintained.

WHO BENEFITS
We must subject these policies to critical scrutiny:

Who benefits from involuntary drug treatment?

Not the patients. Not the nurses, doctors, or other allied healthcare professionals.

Do you feel safer knowing the gov is changing laws to protect care providers so they can violate patient rights?

As I said the other day, I believe the "pie in the sky" plans for the pipeline are secondary in this collaboration. The primary gesture of this Carney-Smith collaboration is to deploy the idea of this pipeline to strip away regulations on industry and extraction.

I've said it before, but I am always shocked that a Mesa Boogie does not rip itself apart when operating because it is basically the amplifier equivalent of putting an F1 racing car into something the size of a Volkswagen Golf.

Tomorrow would normally be when we would be watching clips of Black Friday customers fighting ppl for a $50, 50-inch TVs. Alas, we have passed this stage of societal devolution

We used to be a nation, damnit!

The contempt and condescension of this government is unbelievable.
David Cochrane asks about the fact that it would’ve been impossible for the coastal First Nations to travel from their communities to meet the feds on the timeline the govt offered.

“It’s called Zoom,” Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson responds.

Jesus CHRIST.

Last night's NDP French language debate exposed a party that doesn't seem serious about rebuilding after the departure of Jagmeet Singh

The party's livestrteam links were faulty, and candidates weren't particularly engaging, mainly because the collective level of French was atrocious🧵

What he seems most capable is gathering the interests of capital, which is unsurprising given that he is a banker. And so far, he has a large following of apologists among voters who refuse to admit they elected a con and a con man.

Carney believes more (has more faith) in such a company than he does in democracy, climate protection, Indigenous sovereignties, labour rights, and rights in general.

The Canadian state is being reorganized as brutal guarantor of corporate sovereignty and not much besides.
