Just yesterday I was going through the former BC Green leaders to see where they have ended up politically (a few in real nasty places). and now today Stuart Parker, one of the worst of their former leaders and now a OneBC guy (because covid and transphobia) just endorsed Andrew Weaver.

Okay let's do a roundup: Adriane Carr was the party's first leader for 1983-1985, after which the position was abolished, and the party had no formal leader till 1993, instead having 3 spokespeople. Carr will return though!

Harris lost moderate voters of color while out performing with non college educated white voters and out performing literally every incumbent except one worldwide, her message when heard out performed downballot. She lost by 200k in 3 states which is the same as one extra flap of a butterfly’s wings

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

This is actual antisemitism - not because it’s criticizing Israel, but because it attributes agency over all migration to Israel, with no evidence. This is just the Great Replacement conspiracy, and it is ultimately far-right. Such conspiracism is going to destroy the left, if it isn’t policed.

An important part of the polling conversation is that annexing canada and bombing iran have roughly similar approvals prior to it happening. Which like obviously we shouldnt freak out, its not imminent. But the idea that public opinion can stop the 20% is pretty wild to me!

American imperialists like Carl here don’t seem to understand this. But we’re a sovereign country, and invading soldiers must die. Even American liberals cannot be trusted to understand this or genuinely oppose them invading us; and they ask us to trust that we wouldn’t even need to fight back?

I’m not really sure what could have been done to stop N. Korea getting the bomb, but then getting it and the US proceeding to stop fucking with them has really taught the world a pretty bad lesson. All that said, Canada needs nukes.
