I think about this quote from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social a lot:
“The idea that some people may freely poison others is one of the most astonishing but least contested aspects of modern life.”

We are being poisoned every day, so why do we keep voting for more pollution? Ask a lobbyist | George Monbiot
The dirty industries that dominate politics deceive us into accepting dangerous pollutants such as ammonia as part of life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

November 15 marked a full three years in my role as Councillor for Ward 2. Every year, around this time, I write about another year gone by, what I’ve learned in this job, what people tell me when they see me at a meeting, stop me in the street, or share their thoughts with me in an email. #HamOnt

Doug Ford's government backs down on their proposal to enable mass evictions of everyone whose lived in their rental unit for more than 12 months.
Everyone involved in permitting this idea to make it into Bill consultation should be tossed out to the curb, like they hoped to do to others.

Canada nation built (and built and built and built) until the 1970s, then began the great dismantling. I'd pin it to Mulroney era when rails were ripped out across country & Chretien/Harris pulling out of housing funding/backstopping. Canada Post stuff is just another dismantling moment.
