Hugely important thread of info on this. Compassion Club was an overwhelmingly reasonable, considered, and just attempt to stop mass death completely ignored by all levels of government. Every single level of government could be saving lives tomorrow and chooses not to, everyday.
Been covering DULF's constitutional challenge for @thetyee.ca this week. Crown prosecutors have tried to poke lots of small holes in what founders Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum were doing. Nyx and Kalicum have largely defended themselves saying they were doing the best they knew how at the time.

Computer, please summarize everything PG Wodehouse ever wrote in ten seconds
rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Tremendous self-own in “The Motown Song” that the signer admits they have no Motown records of their own.

The only industry western Canadian conservatives care about is the bumper sticker industry.
Danielle Smith: "I hope people today feel a lot more confident that Canada works than they did a couple of days ago."
UCP convention crowd: LOUD BOOS
UCP convention crowd: LOUD BOOS
Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

I first saw her at Blanche Macdonald Ateliers at Homer and Robson. She was wearing a red dress. She appeared like an angel. Out of this filthy mess, she is alone. They... cannot... touch... her.
