I read a lot, talk a lot, and procrastinate A LOT. I am too laidback, but when poked, I will detonate. I like that my beliefs are fluid, but not my values. And, although I value my Canadian identity, I do feel a sense of responsibility to the world itself.
This petition should have received received a lot more signatures by now (44,135 so far).
That the website is so dysfunctional is undoubtedly contributing largely to this.

Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
- Members of Parliament (MPs) have been accused of making important public statements that are false and without evidence;
- Misinformation is a growing threat to the proper functioning of, as well as faith in, our democratic process;
- A mechanism is needed to verify MPs’ public statements to maintain trust in our governing body;
- Artificial Intelligence is amplifying misinformation;
- Current events in the United States demonstrate the dangers of not addressing this problem; and
- The Institute for Constitutional and Democratic Research (ICDR) of Wales, UK, proposed a white paper entitled “A Model for Political Honesty,” created because “the Welsh Government will bring forward legislation before 2026 for the disqualification of Members and candidates found guilty of deliberate deception through an independent judicial process and will invite the committee to make proposals to that effect.”
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to propose a bill to address the issue of perceived and actual misinformation being presented by MPs to the public, provided that such a bill could be informed by details outlined in the white paper proposed by the ICDR.
Open for signature - July 30, 2025, at 9:58 a.m. (EDT)
Closed for signature - November 27, 2025, at 9:58 a.m. (EDT)
Member of Parliament

Too many men watch it happen.
Too many women vote and pay taxes for this man to have a platform to nationally abuse them.

I will be so disappointed if people don't realize by the next election that #TimHouston is crashing #NovaScotia with his bad management and arrogance.
Rather than admit failure, he blames his failure on others - made obvious by his taking over more and more offices.

“Work is becoming less of a guarantee against poverty,”
24% of Nova Scotia food bank users are employed.
10.3% increase in food bank usage. High food & housing costs, low wages, the lack of government policy to address these issues, makes life very difficult for too many in our province.

Tim Houston has all but called the province, Houston's Nova Scotia - like IDU chair, Stephen Harper, called the country Harper's Canada when he was PM.
He's "taken the bit in his teeth" to take full control, ignoring the fact that he is there to represent the people's wants and needs - not his own.

“We not only hold Treaty Rights, but also Aboriginal Rights, Jurisdictions and Title, as we never ceded or surrendered our lands, waters and resources,” said Membertou First Nation Chief Terrance Paul. “Making decisions without us is unconstitutional and wrong”.

I have reached this point also.
I cruise Netflix, Prime, Crave (etc), but, in light of everything that is happening in the US, I feel repulsed by the subject matter/perspective/attitude depicted in many of their US culture shows, so I end up using Gem or BBC or Viki - or, more and more often, none.

I am noticing I feel negative about watching American TV, especially. Sitcoms. They just aren't relevant. I cannot help feeling some dislike for American cultural life. We are saturated. We are different. I'd like to cancel many shows.

A Canadian at her best: positive, realistic, inclusive and "dedicated to the pursuit of creating something better".
In 2019, the last time Alberta was awash in separatist nonsense, CBC Calgary commissioned me to write this essay. I re-read it today - and it seems to me as true as ever. And I thought this weekend might be a good time to share it with you, my new Bluesky friends. #Alberta #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

Danielle Smith doesn't understand that Alberta separatism legally undermines the ongoing occupation of Canada.
Smith's separatism inadvertently exposes the flaw of the Doctrine of Discovery.
