B.C. Conservatives celebrate election win by burning down old growth forest

Ted Morton is a both an idiot and a liar. Telling people to vote yes for "leverage" is just admitting you want to blackmail the federal government, so you have no actual leverage. Also, Trudeau didn't make capital flee. The oil price crash of 2014 did. FFS #PnPCBC

BREAKING: Winnipeg mayoral candidate Kevin Klein is an absolute sack of runny shit and so is his rag, The Winnipeg Sun. Fuck them both to hell and back. Twice. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Holy shit.

But taking on the full cost of building the thing, when private proponents didn’t want to touch it even with those other supportive policies, basically means betting on demand (and the supply to meet it) beyond what the industry itself is willing to do. That’s deeply weird.

Protesters at the Irish Open. shitler’s international golf links and hotel Doonbeg, Ireland. Thank you, Doonbeg!

Meanwhile... Environmentalist Kevin Van Tighem is raising the alarm on the sport hunting of Grizzly bears that is operating under the auspices of animal control thanks to changes made by the UCP... #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

BREAKING! "Saddle Lake Cree Nation is asserting its Treaty rights and jurisdiction to provide safe refuge for those seeking and providing gender-affirming care. Any Albertan will be able to access gender-affirming care on Saddle Lake Cree Nation reserved lands and territories"

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

Haha, a more fitting logo for Google.

Google is not acting cowardly. They are not capitulating. Sundar Pichai was sitting in the front row at Donald Trump's inauguration. Google knows that digital imperialism is a joint project of the US government and Silicon Valley. Google benefits enormously, so you give a bit to get a bit.

A singular performer with inimitable talent and charm, Dolly Parton's work touched countless lives throughout her career. From her performances across mediums to her philanthropy, Parton was the epitome of the best of the American spirit. Our thoughts are with her loved ones.

Hi, my name is George, and it’s been 670 days since my last purchase from Amazon.

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu One side wants fascism. The other side wants healthcare as a human right. To even attempt to conflate the two is absurd.

Happy 65th Birthday to Laurence Fishburne

This is what happens when you operate in echo chambers where nobody calls bullshit on each other. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

"Yet with traffic deaths climbing in both cities, the province didn’t build a portal for people to report dangerous intersections or reckless driving. It built one for bike lanes." Via @cailynn.bsky.social: www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

What a bunch a maroons.

With record lines expected on Referendum Day, only the most committed & available will stick around to cast a vote. This is why advance polls and mail-in ballots are so important — even for those of us who prefer same-day voting. To make it easier for everyone. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

OK…who made this???

Happy 4th of July….

Despite some promising momentum in the early going, the Indigenous Gathering Place Society is not part of the official plan for the historic confluence site as it stands. thetyee.ca/Culture/2026...

America is great because of takeout food, eating in your car while talking on the phone. JFC. Idiocracy was too optimistic about the future of the USA.

“America!!! What a country!!!!” With no apologies to Yakoff Smirnov.

He fought it to the Supreme Court. He lost. He’s a rapist for the rest of history.

Of course. Kleptocrats all. This is a bullshit government run by corrupt racists.

I am not shocked in the least. Governments desperate to get these pipelines built have already proven they will spend billions in public dollars to make it happen so why would a private company jump to cover the costs?

A nuclear holocaust ending everything wouldn't be the worst thing.

SCOOP: I obtained the itinerary and other documents relating to Edmonton police Chief Warren Driechel’s February 2026 Israel trip. @mbueckert.bsky.social of @cjpme.org says it’s “much worse than any of us expected.” open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

If you look really closely at the graph, you can see why the premier wants us all to focus on noise bylaws for Stampede.
