Taxes will always get you in the end. I guess that's why these types seem to campaign against them.

I would never figure actual real treason charges would be realized,just that they'd be all competing to make the most spectacular accusations against their compatriots.So many white nationalist groups in the US seem to implode due to affairs and cheating,so maybe a little of that too?Here for DRAMA!

I am really excited for the RCMP extravaganza- let's see the treason accusations and money laundering. How about a little foreign interference and campaign finance shenanigans. "Big tent" means a lot of very strange and uncomfortable bedfellows and I want to see all the mess and under bus throwing.

You know it's a complete sh*t show in AB if Kenney starts looking reasonable. Maybe Ralph Klein was just misunderstood! (sarcasm!) When Harper was being portrayed as a moderate voice earlier this year I knew the Overton window was actually just a big giant hole blasted in a wall & covered in plastic

Oh man, such an excellent video. The Odds (as Dawn Patrol) were the house band at the Commodore for my high school grad dance. Honestly way too cool for the people in my grad clss- we didn't deserve them. What a great band.

A few streets in Glenbrook seem to manage a close facsimile of this and appear to actively encourage folk not from there. Well lit, busy and filled with kids and a fair number of adults not attached to kids all milling around having an excellent time. Some residents keeping an eye on through traffic

For context- John Adair, who is a co-owner of Sooke Brewing Co. (so really can't be "terminated") posted a photo of himself wearing a residential school denying tshirt on Truth And Reconciliation Day. He was proud of it and literally said it with his whole chest. He meant to harm.

I hope all who were targeted by this creep are ok and that they are receiving support for such an enormous violation of their space and privacy.

Amazed that no one from the event contacted police. Particularly as there was such a much publicized case in BC recently where someone was charged for doing the exact same thing. It really should be an automatic that if someone is removed from an event for creepy behaviour, police should be notified

I eventually figured out the issue and crossed the street while his owner tucked him into a doorway and gave him a hug while he gave forlorn looks over her shoulder at us. I know they're supposed to be fierce and athletic war/guard dogs, but...he was definitely not that.

I managed to inadvertently terrorize a young mastiff for half a block by walking on the same side of the street and pushing my sleeping child in a stroller. Owner was trying to hustle him along as he frantically yet slowly glumped along giving worried looks over his shoulder.

Same. Just really great to hear the judge state it so matter of factly- confirmation that they faced such enormous injustice and also that they had to wait so long for acknowledgement that their rights were violated.

Discoverability for new SFF books seems way down these days, especially outside of bestsellers and certain subgenres. I'm noticing this as both a reader and a writer. Great stuff is in danger of sinking without a trace. Please post about new/recent books you love or are excited for!!! I'll start:

Right? Overcooked at the edges, still hard in the middle. Maybe ones made from fresh instead of dried pasta are better though.

Inserts judgmental comment here about animal abuse, but actually it's my dog commenting, because he is feeling deprived as I have only ever shared fries with him once (only 1 time ever ever) and this is, in his mind, real actual animal abuse.

Heavy metal/prog rock and cheap weed opens the portal to wizards on vans. But first you have to locate where the veil is thinnest- usually a basement rec room lined with shag carpet and posters of ladies in fur bikinis riding green tigers- and prime it with nag champa.

Well done to you both! I hope turns out to be an easily resolvable and not expensive issue. My nightmare is following a bewildered and/or annoyed dog around with a ladle/container early in the morning in the pouring rain trying to somehow catch pee samples for the vet.

Someone in our building was selling their place, so we sneaked a peak at their listing (as one does) and the windows showed 3 different types of weather and at least 2 seasons based on the trees and sky outside. Also their place is actually the Tardis- way bigger on the inside than floor plan shows.

Endorsed by the US Department of Homeland Security!! (not kidding)

Major concerns about what appears to be their proposal to involve Hour Zero Emergency Preparedness Systems in New West schools, as it is not only a for profit organization but also US based. Not really clear what information this company collects/manages and who they share that information with.

Screencap of NWP's mention of Hour Zero school assessment system stating "Support strengthened safety protocols and emergency preparedness with clear communication and student protection plans for every school as guided by the Hour Zero Schools Assessment."

The two children in front of the school are also random stock photos. However, at least there aren't any obviously AI generated photos like some of their other previously posted images.

Very surprising they haven't. I've seen hiring adverts for EBC in a few places, so they are def trying to organize as quickly as possible. I am wondering if they are keeping quiet in the chance it comes across as "political" if they are seen to criticize, as well reduce trust in elections process.

OpenAI’s chatbot fed the shooter’s violent fantasies and planning up to the massacre.

Right? BC has a long history of this. It's honestly like the SoCreds and the BC Heritage Party joining forces. It's really all the same kind of people, just rebranded. Scratch the veneer and you can see the religious loonies, money grubbers and sundry other opportunistic weirdos underneath.

Did no one point out that maybe using fire analogy is a questionable choice when huge tracts of the province are literally on fire due to climate change? Particularly when choices made by his government may have contributed to said conflagrations? It's Veep writers' room levels here.

When a party is strictly all about being against the other guy but shows zero ability to form a cohesive (or coherent) group, nor its leaders any leadership ability. Good stuff.

Saskatchewan! The nicest people I know are from Sk. Did you ever run into the reference to hoodies/hooded jumpers as "bunny hugs"? I have no idea if tiger tail is tasty to adults, but boy, it sure was delicious to me as a kid.
