It's surprising to me that separatists in Quebec and Alberta don't understand land title Is it willfull blindness or stupidity? #LandBack

Let's walk through this: Alberta separates; Crown land title is extinguished; Indigenous land title remains; Non-indigenous Albertans don't own land or resources; The Alberta territory tries to raise an army and police force to take the the land, but has no money #LandBack

Transfer pricing: Put export tariffs on oil, gas, minerals and electricity Then sell tariff free quotas from each province Quota purchases are not tariffed; commodity prices will drop, dropping effective tariffs This is clearly beyond the competence of our politicians

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

The Beaverton demands same debate invitation as The Rebel, even though we’re not as big a joke

I've had a very different experience becoming more open to new ideas as I age Openness, curiosity and intelligence are required to explore new ideas; these attributes usually diminish as we age

Maybe if we can't track and study hurricanes anymore then they won't happen? www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...

i keep saying this. all of what you're seeing is what our ancestors saw firsthand and survived. we've seen this happen too many times before. indigenous people live this.

"Folks told us #Covid just wasn't the time to talk #ClimateChange & to be sure a lot of climate organizations & the most progress we'd ever seen just died on the vine during that time. Last year it was #Housing & #Inequality. This year it's an openly covetous, belligerent & reckless America" #yyc

It’s time your government got back in the business of building affordable homes.

@cbcpitchbot.bsky.social is anyone else worried about foreign interference using leverage on @pierrepoilievremp.bsky.social through his Venezuelan in-laws?

It's called shunning Ask the mennonites

@althiaraj.bsky.social you need to recognize treaties and indigenous land rights when discussing sovereignty Under any scenario, unceded territory or treaty lands would be dealt with and the knot cannot be untied Only morons would fail to recognize this (e.g. Smith/Trump)

Ira Wells of @thewalrus.ca is correct, we need more national institutions Army corps of engineers could build transmission interties, electrify remote communities (allowing for water treatment facilities) National wildfire service too, all included in our NATO spend

We’re lucky in the US to have so much clean drinking water that we flush our toilets with it. But imagine turn on your tap and not knowing if the water is safe to drink. With Trump gutting all the environmental rules, that will be our future.

Surprise! The Russians, who have repeatedly said they don't want a ceasefire, have once again said they don't want a ceasefire

When I referred to the Russian "empire" I was referring not just to the current Putin regime, but to the existence of a single centralized state from Karjala to Karafuto that is ruled from Moscow.

If China were to get Haishenwai and Outer Manchuria back I'd want Japan to get Sakhalin and the Kurils (sorry, Karafuto and Chishima) so as to maintain the integrity of the "first island chain".

right, like isn't that the point of this whole thing?

Totally wild that in a representative democracy the voters might want to be represented.

Think of a copper mine with a limited ore body with surplus refining capacity If the mine purchases copper ore from another mine, it can continue to refine copper, yet it has a trade deficit with the other mine Goods > money, this is the basis of all trade and all markets

@profgalloway.com @jessicatarlov.bsky.social A fact about #Tariffs missed on #RagingModerates : trade deficits for commodities= positive for any country Within country borders there are limited natural resources Trade (magically) transforms digital representations of money into real commodities

This trade war brought to you by Big Bidet

Canada should retaliate with dollar-for-dollar tariffs that will have maximum impact on the US and minimum impact on Canada. The proceeds from our tariffs should be used to protect our workers. (2/4)

It's a straightforward correlation Reduce low skill immigration through fake colleges and we have more money spread over fewer bullshit jobs Expect more bullshit jobs to be cut, resulting in higher productivity

Perhaps the most shocking event of the past 24 hours.

51% of Canadians believe the government should approach the United States as a threat or as an enemy. Far fewer now see it as a friend or ally. Canadians have a less favourable view of the US than India, a country which murdered Canadian citizens on Canadian soil.

America is now part of the axis of evil. Well done, Trumpers...

Trump just joined Russia in slaughtering young Ukrainian soldiers, and stealing Ukrainian land. We are officially part of the Axis of Evil.

It feels weird to now be part of the Axis of Evil.

I wrote this before the Oval Office performance, but really, there is nothing to add. It's all still true.
