Um, any Roman Empire experts out there who can tell us how long till the USian empire finally finishes falling? Got the dissolute & rapacious upper class, nepotistic & inept "leaders", forever wars, public spectacles & executions. What's next? & any advice for neighbourIng states? #asking4aCanadian

Moving toward National Truth & Reconciliation needs action every day. We're going backward. A flock of white weenies think it's OK to threaten a community while #CarneyLiberals try to erase consultation (Bill C-39), & 41% of the TRC rec's are still dormant www.indigenouswatchdog.org/2026/09/01/t...

I keep thinking I need to be more patient & generous to younger folks. My history is my own-how can youngsters understand? My parents grew up during the Depression & WWII. Their parents survived WWI. I know: I don't *know* any of that in my bones. But HIV/Aids was my time. WTF is up w/TS & Patient0?

Don't ask "Why isn't anyone talking about/covering this?" It's because "anyone" is following another equally important story, is complicit, is implicated, or because the constant firehose of misdirection, obfuscation, & distraction makes it impossible to keep up. Please, find allies, keep fighting.

I try to be reasonable. I try to be fair. I try to be accommodating & understanding. Policy, economy, 47's threats, blah, blah. Jesus fuck'n Christ. Kids I care about & kids I will never meet (aka the future of the human race) face existential threats that we are creating & enabling. How is this ok?

#TheCarneyLiberals have betrayed their mandate. Canadians voted for a government-to protect us-in reaction to the rise of fascism in the US. Instead of building our integrity & autonomy, they slash services, pursue ecological destruction, sell off public assets to US co.s, & turn us into a war bank.

The Carney Liberals are pursuing straight Conservative policies: privatization, attacking labour, rolling back enviro policies, tax cuts for the wealthy, huge military spending, rolling back healthcare, bitumen pipelines… No wonder Jason Kenney’s cheering.

The fact that he views public assets as belonging to the government is the problem. They don't belong to the government. They belong to the public. They belong to us. Not the Liberals, not Parliament, not him. Us. He's a caretaker, not an owner.

Ha! Who knew 45/47 was a fan of director Michael Moore? Or maybe Malevolent Miller has been channeling Stu Smiley. It's almost like the current cross-border relationship, inflammatory lexicon, & plot devices of USian propaganda, duplicity & manipulation is inspired by the 1994 movie CANADIAN BACON.

Tariffs ultimately are paid by consumers in the importing country that imposes them. Instead, jack the price of our energy exports. And yes, undo the multiple concessions Carney made with tech.

Wondering if PM Carney rescinded his "request" for provinces to restock US alcohol if it wasn't contingent on reaching a deal. Hope so. Also wonder if a short suspension might help to eliminate storage fees & make room for more Canuck stock. Whatever the case, interprovincial barriers need to relax.

While politicians, i.e. the #CarneyLiberals, try to appease 45/47 by "asking" the provinces to start selling US booze again, Canadian citizens can refuse to be bullied: buy local, boycott US products, & vacation elsewhere. Other concessions may be harder to dodge, but we can try, eh? #Elbows(back)up
