(he/him) An accidental activist. I kept waiting and waiting for someone to do something. Oh no what if everyone's waiting for me?!?

Mostly climate, politics and geeky stuff. I learn by making mistakes and always seem to be learning something new.

Being less bad than the Conservatives is the Liberal's secret sauce and it has served them well. Canadians, not so much.

RCMP are raiding Cougar Camp right now. This is the BC NDP forestry policy at work. Don't believe their empty words, believe their actions. #bcpoli
Photo showing the large cougar artwork made of wood that gives Cougar Camp it's name with RCMP officers, at least one of them masked, conducting arrests of logging protestors. One protestor is shown sheltering under an umbrella at the base of the artwork.

A little too ironic, I really do think.

If the political class was going to act on climate they would have by now. It is up to the rest of us to change that.

100%! This was 2021 here.

We are experiencing the result of fossil fuel interests corrupting not only COP but representative democracies. They have no red lines. None.

I've been dreading what's coming since seeing this Stockwell tweet last December. I doubt Harper parachuted into AIMCo last year out of the goodness of his heart. I think they're going to peel off AB first, maybe using resistance to Northern Gateway as a wedge. BC will follow, SK...
Stockwell day tweet in which he quotes an earlier tweet of his. The quoted tweet shows Trump looking at the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps while standing next to a Canadian flag and with the graphic text Oh Canada! above. The quoted tweet is from December 20th 2024 and reads "Dear Canadians! Be honest! If the rumour is true that Trump would offer natural born Canadians immediate citizenship to the US and a trade of Canadian with US dollars at a one-to-one basis... Would you do it?" The tweet quoting this earlier one reads "Huge congrats to (so far) over ONE MILLION Canadians (and some Americans) who responded in less than 24 hours to the question below. And the culturally marxist media are aghast that so many Canadians are so done with state and corporate wokeism that they would consider the USA." https://x.com/Stockwell_Day/status/1870685396507701706

This fire happened 5 hours ago. There's no mention on the front page of www.cbc.ca/news, but hey this moss can survive 9 months outside the space station and poor Kevin Spacey is living in hotels. Gee, I wonder why? This is normal.

Join us in solidarity with Palestine Action and Defend Our Juries to protest the UK's use of anti-terrorism laws against those peacefully protesting the genocide of Palestinians. 1pm Sat. Nov 22 at the UK Consulate in Vancouver, 1111 Melville St.
A poster with a photo and text. The photo is of a woman being arrested for terrorism by the London Metropolitan police because she has a sign that reads "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action." The text above the photo reads "Her sign made her a terrorist in the U.K." and below the photo "Join us in solidarity with Palestine Action at the UK Consulate Saturday November 22nd 1pm 1111 Melville Street #LiftTheBan https://defendourjuries.net/lift-the-ban/." There is a Palestinian flag to the left of the lower text and the logo for Defend Our Juries on the right.

Exactly. Everything Carney has done since becoming PM indicates his time at the UN was a ploy to con Canadians about his climate credentials. We've seen this before.

Something about corrupt politicians.
June 17 2019 Canada declares a national climate emergency. June 18 2019 Canada approves 4.5BN++ pipeline expansion.

Today Carney is in Prince Rupert to announce resource projects. Canadian resource companies are working with Trump staffers, ex-US military operatives and CSIS to force through projects like the CGL pipeline. How is this in our national interest? thenarwhal.ca/csis-resourc...
On those calls, detailed by The Narwhal in a series of investigative reports, former staffers from the first Trump administration - including foreign service operatives and ex-military hackers - talked about the extensive intelligence gathering operations they conducted on behalf of the pipeline company. They also said TC Energy executives were attempting to persuade CSIS to share information with corporations more freely. Those efforts were ultimately successful.

In the fight for humanity's future it's everyone vs fossil fuels.

12 brave activists from @studenteacop.bsky.social have been held without bail for 98 days for being in a peaceful march to protest Stanbic Bank's financing of the EACOP oil pipeline. They finally have their day in court tomorrow.

We know the players on both teams are from all over, but it doesn't really matter. One of the great things about sport is how the context adds meaning. Today there's a bigger story being told.

Go Jays!

The incompetence is a ploy to cast doubt about what they are really doing. Will Americans take resisting this shit seriously before its too late? Gregory Bovino, in charge of ICE in Chicago, is coming out as an SS agent this halloween. He has his own type of pride. bsky.app/profile/spoc...
A black and white photograph of Gregory Bovino, the person in charge of ICE agents in Chicago. His appearance is very reminiscent of a Nazi SS officer, including his jacket, shirt, pants, belt, shoes, and haircut.
