For some reason, I find it overwhelmingly annoying that Frechette is taking full responsibility for the fall of the CAQ. Lady, the only responsibility you bear is thinking that Legault was a leader worth following with ideas worth listening to. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

These traitorous goofs offered up our FRESH WATER????? Full exposé on these idiot Alberta separatists here: archive.is/rhGUj

Excerpt from the Globe article reads: “A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada, while harbouring their own aspirations for the province to secede.
The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province's resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence.
Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta's pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta.”

I was looking in the Penticton subreddit and everyone there, to my surprise, was deciding to vote for the Greens. They wouldn't vote for Boultbee (who ended up resigning anyway) and none of them would vote for the Con candidate. I don't think the Greens have even ANNOUNCED their candidate yet.

I voted for Carney to avoid PP, but he's gone from highly disappointing (enviro, corp welfare, etc) to now, with these labour restrictions, it's all too much. It's crossed a line for me. Rachel is the most prominent media I see calling foul on all this, so I just joined Patreon to support her work.

To the extent that I have any strong opinions about cars, I now believe that it’s impossible for a luxury car to have a petrol engine. I don’t care how much leather is in it, even an inexpensive EV is going to be a better experience.

Nothing makes me dislike Generative AI more than the true believers that think it’s the solution to all problems and uncritically use it as a citation. It is not a primary source.

The forest fire smoke around here has been pretty bad lately, but sometimes it makes for good photos.

A more pulled back, 0.5x view of the blue sky transitioning into clouds that partly obscure the sun. The mountains and smoke are visible, but are less prominent. The lake is reflecting orange-yellow sunlight. The foreground is mostly dirt road and a few trees.

The silhouette of someone standing with their bicycle, looking across a lake at some mountains that are shrouded in clouds and forest fire smoke. The sun is fairly low in the sky, streaming through the gaps in the clouds.

A closer view of the clouds and mountains and forest fire smoke. Similar to the other photographs, but zoomed in. The orange sunlight is reflecting dully off of the lake.

Of course. Who needs a conservative party when Carney is the most successful conservative prime minister in the last 30 years? CPC voters are switching to the Liberals and the Libs that care about the environment and social programs and other humans are drifting to the NDP as they realize the dupe.

Factually, I own the roads as much as any car does, whether they like it or not. The deference chain works by weight+speed class: motor vehicle yields to bicycle yields to pedestrian. I paid just as much for those roads and my impact on them is far, far less, so I am owed more.

I keep forgetting they LibreWolf WILL destroy the image that I try to post. Good thing I put in good alt text. Here’s the real image, though.

A woman who is clearly a contortionist looks at the camera while her legs are bent up behind her. You can see her knees to either side of her head, and her feet are on her shoulders--she's curled herself backwards into a ball. The title of the post, with a link, is: Tips for Cooling Your Home. The account is The Onion.
