Retired & living my best life by the North Atlantic in blustery NL. Recovering legal beagle and former public servant, who’s still interested in public and civic life, and all things complex and political.

I certainly hope so! There’s been some nefarious activity by US corps to Crown Lands B.C. for unmonitored access to points on both sides of the Inside Passage. Also, an agency of the American government has bought ~5-8% of a couple of 🇨🇦rare earth cos. Feds should review it; no sign that’ll happen.
Income inequality is a major problem worldwide, as far as I’m concerned. The arrogance and greed of Western countries, the oligarchs and the 10% is the definition of hubris. They think they can isolate and insulate themselves from consequences IRL but there will be a reckoning…🔮

Always the Neo-con line. Best way to fight back is to repost the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives’ “Alternate Federal Budget”. All the naysayers assume that everything new is an add-on. We could 🪓 current corp subsidies & credits, given windfall profits in a number of sectors (eg. 🦖⛽️ sector)
There’s no doubt about that! But if digging out of the pit focuses only on fossil fuel projects for B.C., AB, Sask, I don’t think we’re on the right track for “nation-building”. That’s just digging a tunnel sideways to create an even deeper pit filled with bitumen and a shit ton of filthy water.
Karma is coming to get him…. And she’s a 🐝-itch! 🤣🤣🤣👻
Ugh!! That guy is such a poser! The biggest problem the entire CPC has is there’s not an original thought or clue amongst them. Just cut and paste Canada into American MAGAts’ propaganda and press send. 🙄
Yah, but really how much can 5 old wyt guys do? 💀

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not.

I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

More of this, please. Now do Black Lives Matter!
True, but there are certain classes that need to contribute a hella lot more. Our tax system has been flattened so much that the wealthy (the top 10%) are simply not contributing fairly or at all. That started with Mulroney. So Carney’s right that we didn’t get here quickly; there’s no 💰 🌲
Riiight?? What a weak whiny wuss. The corporate Dems need to be sidelined completely. They are so lacking in credibility and really are enablers of the Trump regime!

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Agreed. Sadly, I’m not sure that many of the more recent generations do much reading outside of school. Non-fiction books also have a role. I’m also reading “Shake Hands with the Devil” by Lt. Commander Romeo Dallaire, about the Rwandan genocide & the inability of UN Peacekeepers to prevent it.
One of my favourites of all time! Also I love the original Dune book. Definitely relevant to our current existential climate situation.
Finally a government official who understands what the National Guard of a State is meant to do!! #newsom

Agreed m. I’m rereading Brave New World now. Some themes that underlie its plot were lost on me when I was a teen reading them in high school. But now? Very relevant. I got my book at a local second hand bookstore so it was cheap. And I still prefer the feel of a book in the hand vs. E-reader.
