Seeing news that flu season is starting early in North America, and vaccines aren't available yet. Cool. I'm just gonna stay locked up in my condo. Anecdotally last week on my flight from TO to Van, half the plane was coughing up a lung. Its a miracle I'm not sick already

The do your own research crowd are never equipped to understand what is a "good" source vs a "bad" source, they just believe everything is equal in terms of sourcing information. They also aren't educated enough to understand what is discussed and published in reliable "good" sources of information

If you haven't watched it, go and watch Promising Young Woman. Just watch it. Know that the way the bros protect the men in this movie is pretty spot on. Every woman you know has dealt with sexual harassment or assault and every perpetrator has been protected by another man at some point.

I live in a building with a load of seniors who have a load of money. They find ways to spend their money by doing completely unnecessary renovations on our building. They decided a few months ago to re-do the pool area. New pool, new deck, new hot tub. The works.

Would these same people think that Canada was going in the right direction if it was Poilievre enacting the exact same right wing policies as Carney? Somehow I doubt it. I honestly thought more Canadians were smarter than this. I had no idea this country had so many sheep.

I know the BC Conservatives will be much worse because I’ve watched and listened carefully to who they are, and because I’m VERY familiar with what’s been happening in Alberta and Ontario (the BC Conservatives are at least as bad). Voting for “Change” can be worse. Flesh eating disease is “change.”

A British Columbia election is coming. I’m able to separate my anger at BC Premier David Eby for calling an early election, and in general for the bad decisions that have greatly frustrated me, from my absolute certainty that the far right extremist BC Conservative Party would be much, MUCH worse.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

Watched this interesting talk about forests and how we should all be thinking about forests. We should be more concerned about all trees. We need to be better stewards of our environment. We need to hold govt and corps to account for the destruction they cause. www.ted.com/talks/suzann...

"A forest is much more than what you see," says ecologist Suzanne Simard. Her 30 years of research in Canadian forests have led to an astounding discovery -- trees talk, often and over vast distances....

A good day to remind you that if Mark Carney wants investment in important things (i.e. the knowledge economy), he could just do it. But instead he's cutting those things in favour of massive military spending while soliciting foreign ownership over Canada's future.

The protest began at Nathan Phillips Square then moved towards the AGO, were the perimeter was cordoned off for several blocks.
