I'm now 62. My politics is simple. If you are not actively & immediately protecting the lives of people in general and the liveability of this planet for my grandchildren, you are a failure. Your economic plan is worthless if there's no liveable future. Fuck you all.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and Canada has a lot of work to do. In some ways, we’re actually backsliding right now -- from residential school denial to rights-busting "national building projects." We gotta do a better job of defending and respecting Indigenous rights:

Canadians are very concerned about the contract given to Draganfly Drones. I would love to invite a representative from the company to come on @meidascanada.ca. It would be a great opportunity to explain the deal and answer questions. Contact me. I look forward to getting this right.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

The flu and Covid waves have started in Alberta, but of course flu and Covid vaccinations are not available in Alberta at this time. Public health care will not include free Covid vaccinations for most people in Alberta, but at some point you will be able to buy Covid shots for $100 each. #abhealth

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Has the UCP government of Alberta, paid an influencer? Beginning to look that way. They're trying to deflect but it's their responsibility to answer for. For sure it's going to become interesting. Imagine discovery if the subject sued. That wouldn't go well for UCP. Either way both will be exposed.

I mean, fair.

She also shared that the museum has not been financially stable for some time, stating that on average, the museum spends about $1.3 million per year and generates about $470,000 in revenue. She said the university has explored financing tools like federal museum funding, STAR bonds or a dedicated property or sales tax levy, but none have proved viable.
Mason said that FHSU is partnering with the FHSU Foundation to launch a fundraising campaign. However, she said that to keep the museum open, FHSU would need about $1 million in new revenue every year, which cannot be solved by a one-time gift or a single fundraiser. The building that houses the Sternberg Museum also faces more than $20 million in deferred maintenance.
Mason shared that the university will still need to make additional cuts to reach the $2.4 million legislative budget reduction. Some additional changes the university has made includes pausing the school's golf program, reducing staff and payroll at the Office of the President and stepping down as the state host for the Small Business Development Center.

She also said that she understands the frustration felt in the community, however, the university "cannot absorb repeated, deep legislative reductions and simultaneously preserve everything our community.
