She/her/teetotaler. Nasty Canadian. Co-founder of anti-fascism. No one is free until we are all free. Eat the rich. Abortions for all. Trans rights are human rights. If you think you know me, no you don’t.

"But what if I need to go 300 miles? You can't do that on the bike!" Again, then use a car or truck. That's fine! We sometimes need to fly to Los Angeles or Europe, but that doesn't mean we use a 747 to get to the grocery store.

If The Truth Is A Threat To Israel, Then Israel Should Not Exist The prime minister is claiming the truth causes “harm to Israel’s diplomatic and security interests” because Israel is a state that can only exist on a foundation of endless lies. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/if-the-tru...

Nova Scotia Power committing straight-up fraud again. Claims to have read the meter on a cleared lot where the burned house was demolished and removed.
From the Facebook page STOP THE NSPOWER INSANITY
Kathleen Kelly Brogan-Hains
I got a bill and letter asking me why I have not payed any $ on my account. It says my meter was read funny thing is the building burnt down may 26 and the story aired - all over Canada because  our service dog was rescued from the fire. Was a miracle how he even survived

This fire was May 26 yet they said they read my meter n keep sending me bills. I called NSP

I’ve got to get fire Marshall send me a letter

The lot is only dirt, Cbrm knocked the burnt structure down after fire Marshall’s investigated two days later all that remained so how they read our meter June 18 and September no one knows how they’ve accomplished this

Great CBC article on how first-past-the-post has distorted Quebec's democracy. The PQ, QS, and PCQ all committed to electoral reform during the election campaign. Now is the time to make that happen. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A record-low vote share for Quebec's incoming PQ government has reignited a long-simmering debate over how the province elects its leaders.

What Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd was a public extrajudicial execution. Keep that in mind when you say we haven't had a public execution since 1936. We have, actually. Many times. They're called police murders.

De-policing your thoughts includes recognizing when you're policing the potential guilt and suitable punishment of people with whom you have no relationship. Society has enabled us to judge people who share no community or communion with us. We are still unpacking how unhealthy it is for us all.

Is there anyone that follows me from Halifax, NS that could do me a huge help and take a look at a book in the Halifax Public Library? There's an obscure autobiography that might have something relevant to a story I'm working on.

I feel like that story got mixed up with the Manitoba story maybe? They said they saw a man possibly with a knife in the area but no one was chased. But in Brandon a young girl was chased home from school by a man with a knife (who was arrested)

It’s bc the cops are lazy and useless in CBRM. Start to dig into how many cops they have (based on how many citizens live there), what their budget is, how many are on paid leave, etc. It’s actually wild. But they’ll say they’re understaffed.

There’s a person at the ER who hasn’t stopped talking on the phone for at least an hour. Says she has some kind of lung infection. Maybe shut the fuck up for five minutes.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Today in Sipekne’katik; Walk in solidarity for Destiny, Systemic racism within our Healthcare system, demand justice. Starting at 2pm at the band office, t-shirts to be handed out for FREE. Get your laminate posters. join the walk FROM the band office, through the ballfield, and into the Arbour.
Justice for Destiny poster. 
A beautiful 22 yr old Mi’kmaq woman is on the poster. Destiny was a 22-year young Indigenous Woman
Destiny sought medical treatment in 2023. Her pleas for medical help were DENIED by several Nova Scotia Health doctors, resulting in her preventable death
Destiny was delayed life saving treatment for 8.5 hours, as she lay dying, alone because her family was REFUSED access to her
Hospital staff labelled her a "drug addict" although no drugs were in her system. SYSTAMTIC RACISM played a crucial role in her death
Destiny's family diligently advocated for Nova Scotia Health to help her several times. Each desperate plea was IGNORED
Remembering Destiny and honoring her life is why we are marching today
We refuse to let her become "just another statistic" with no accountability. Our goal now is to change the way Lnu people are treated, promoting self advocacy, ensuring hospital guidelines and policies are not Just to protect staff, and most importantly spreading awareness of Cryptococcal fungal meningitis
Destiny's death was 100% preventable
Indigenous females are 2.5 times & Indigenous males are twice as likely to die from AVOIDABLE CAUSES, then non-Indigenous people.
I in 5 Indigenous People face discriminatory or racist behaviour from someone in the health care system.
DESTINY TONEY WAS DENIED LIFE
SAVING MEDICAL TREATMENT #JUSTICE FOR DESTINY

It’s not all men. But the problem is that you can’t know which men are good men and which are bad men until it’s too late. So it has to be ASSUMED all men.
