Your reminder that after the Federal government gave an official apology for residential schooling, the then PM Harper stated at a G20 conference one of the reasons Canada was so well liked and "stable" is because "we have no history of colonialism"... #LandBack rabble.ca/indigenous/h...

Harper in denial at G20: Canada has 'no history of colonialism'
“We also have no history of colonialism…” Prime Minister Stephen Harper dropped this outrageous assertion into a response to a question at a G20 news conference on Friday in Pittsburgh. That the PM can not only harbour this delusion in his mind but also feel unembarrassed enough to verbalize it is a shocking testament to […]

It was beyond the design and predictive limits of existing risk reduction measures, and no existing early warning system could have provided sufficient lead time or prevented the scale of impacts observed in the worst-affected areas, highlighting the limits of adaptation.

But yall can’t stay away from Chicc Fil A
I have never had a Chick Fil A sandwich or any other food from Chick Fil A.. I swear. This isn't me bragging it's just that I live in the city and all the Chick Fil A's tend to be farther out than I care to go. Chick Fil A is out of the way for me because I don't drive.
When I see them in airports or whatever, I just keep walking because I know what they're about. They're about hating me and most of the people I love.
I see people eating Chick Fil A all the time. They say it's delicious. I see people who claim to be "liberals" eating Chick Fil A and I wonder if maybe I'm being a stick in the mud with my anti-Chick Fil A stance.
But today Uganda announced a bill that would make it
OK to kill gay people. The National Christian Foundation paid a preacher to go to Uganda to help with this bill.
Chick Fil A funds the National Christian Organization.
Ain't no way a gatdamn sandwich can be that feeking delicious.

The people running these companies believe that climate change could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a fringe worry. Publicly, many executives soften their language to sound reasonable, but privately, the fear is real. No other industry poses this level of danger to civilization.

*Kant’s concept of radical evil is perhaps best illustrated by the solipsism of the genocidaire. Beyond mere-self interest, a solipsism motivated by the ontological conviction that ‘only we are real’.

Climeworks' Mammoth facility in Iceland removed 675 tonnes of CO₂ in the first half of 2026, almost 6x as much as in 2025. If they keep it up, that'll be 1350 tonnes a year*. That's a time machine that takes us back 1 whole second in a year! 🙄 *Mammoth has a stated capacity of 36,000 tonnes. 🫠

Disturbing, offensive, but perhaps fitting that Carney is seeking (much like far-right groups!) to rehab Sir John A’s reputation into that of a Great Uniter, rather than someone who engaged in horrific crimes against Indigenous people and Chinese immigrants (in part to build this project!)

Old advertisement seemingly from the conservative party of canada that has a man asking "fellow workingmen, which do you prefer?" He's holding two placards, one called "conservative policy" that sounds good, another called "grit policy" that sounds bad.

Once you see this you can't unsee it. It's literally everywhere you look: buildings, addresses, street signs, towns, cities, provinces, states, even countries. In the colonial imaginary names give power, a form of legitimacy that the theft is complete: "we own it so we can call it whatever we want!"
