Why Danielle Smith’s Populist Referendums Are Dangerous to Democracy | The Tyee Our political system relies on pluralism, compromise and debate. All are endangered in Alberta.

From @jaredwesley.ca
"Smith’s use of referendums is motivated not by an altruistic commitment to direct democracy. Rather, it is strategic and highly politicized — designed to hold her party’s divergent factions together by dividing them from the rest of the province."

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

How a White Nationalist Club Thought It Found Safe Haven in a Montreal Gym | The Tyee The owners say they were unaware Frontenac Active Club met at their facility.

Seriously, everyone needs to stop with the "the last acceptable prejudice," or "if this were any OTHER minority, it wouldn't be acceptable"

because as we keep seeing, EVERY DAMN DAY, it is ALWAYS multiple minorities being targeted

bigotry only comes in variety packs

Gorgeous! I love the details

Global News’ Ben Mulroney Shared a Video of Airstrikes. The Footage is Actually from a Video Game. The host of Global News’ West Block gets lost in a misinformation-driven fog of war as American and Israeli forces strike Iran

NEW FROM ME:

While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran

I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game

玉險 Office of the Prime Minister Cabinet du Premier Ministre Statement by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East "The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all necessary precautions. Canada's position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world's worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons. Canada and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including at the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations' reimposition of sanctions in September. Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups. Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime's repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders. Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people. Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security. The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region."

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.”

Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer.

Nope.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

The Liberals’ decision to repeal the Underused Housing Tax makes no sense. This measure was meant to curb foreign speculation in Canada's housing market and raise nearly $700M for public priorities. Scrapping it means giving up an important tool for addressing the housing crisis.

"Canada’s oil industry might not be great at building pipelines, but it has become expert at creating scapegoats for its failures and PR nightmares for even modest proposals to pay for its own pollution."

Bill C-12 is being criticized for proposin new timeline for refugee applications that would be in effect starting in 2020—more than five years prior to the bill even being passed—and the power to cancel large numbers of immigration documents.
