It seems like a long shot that Alberta would vote to leave, but who knows what happens once you start down this path. It’s a live-ammo outing now. Utter insanity. 1131189213

Reposted by Tom, eh🇨🇦Tobias Wilson-Bates @phdhurtbrain.bsky.social · 08/04/2025I find “people don’t actually know how things work” has a lot of explanatory power. I don’t mean this in a holier-than-thou way. I’m only vaguely aware of how my microwave or the car radio work. A lot of modern life is assuming the functioning of complex tech and models. 592483351

Tom, eh🇨🇦 @expo45.bsky.social · 07/01/2025As a government, a basically good agenda pursued timidly and ineptly if at all. As a man, arrogant, vindictive, pettily corrupt and mediocre to his core. His own time has actually been pretty kind to him, if only because Trump, the UK cons, and Poilievre are so much worse. 040
