Got it, thanks.
Sorry James, what does this mean?
BREAKING: Belgium will recognise the State of Palestine at the UNGA later this month, FM Maxime Prevot announced, adding the country will also impose 12 “firm sanctions” on Israel aje.io/jw30im
Russia’s withdrawal from Europe's anti-torture convention proves once again that it is a land of lawlessness, where human life means nothing. Western businesses have no place in a brutal dictatorship where torture is state policy. They must refuse to participate in Russia’s crimes—and get out now.
NEW: Mercenary spyware is coming to the US. ICE just quietly unsuspended their contract with spyware maker #Paragon. Remember them? Caught earlier this year being used to hack Italian journalists. This is bad, let's talk about how we got here 1/ jackpoulson.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

#Cdnpoli #Abpoli #Skpoli "A teacher’s work environment is also a student’s learning environment." I remember reading this letter to the editor in the #Saskatoon Star Phoenix last year. IMO #Conservative governments don't give a shit about the well being of students or their families.
Let's just say the title is apropos. Though, NO, I don't feel fine.
It does seem like yesterday. I was living in Canmore when I saw the news. I remember watching the anguish on his beautiful freckly face as he spoke from his stretcher, and that of his poor parents. What a day that was. The photo is from one of our many trips from Saskatchewan to Ontario. #TerryFox

May I add that the guy is obviously a bonehead.
Bonne is incorrect as 'appetit' is a masculine noun and bon is the masculine form of the adjective 'good'. It should be 'bon appetit'.
Do as I say, not as I do or liar/snake oil salesman? You decided after taking a look into Trump's model management.Here's the Wiki and a peek from Mother Jones - another good source to support if you want the real news: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_M... www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

I voted for Charlie for NDP leader and until now he wasn't put a foot wrong. Teaming up with meidas, who for as popular as they are in the US and reportedly, for as much money as they're making, freelance journalist's on this site are reporting that meidas uses their content and doesn't pay.

Because you are posting about COVID I'm taking the opportunity to post this for your followers. COVID is airborne, we must clean the indoor air. A DIY quieter, repairable air cleaner. Parts list and instructions within the article.

#Cdnpoli I have blocked @victoryrenfrew.bluesky.social. Imagine encouraging meidas.com to sue freelance journalists for expecting to be paid for their work? By snitching, does 'victory' believe they'll be invited to sit at the rich kids table? IMO this resistance account is a fraud.
Cheers Gerrit.

Ah this farm is in Hirtenhof, beautiful place. It's about two hours south of Essen where some of my husband's family live.
Today I'm talking to Dr. Robert Fuller, author of "Naming the Antichrist: The History of An American Obsession." The 1995 book outlines how the concept of "Antichrist" has been used throughout history to demonize and dehumanize political opponents. Questions for him? bookshop.org/p/books/nami...
You're a Lütke apologist? Tobi Lütke et al are driven by power and greed. They advocated a Canadian 'DOGE'. Lütke and co. weren't at the convoy waving the flags, they helped fund the convoy to prey on those who are brainwashed in order to benefit themselves. I'm done with this conversation.
I shot this video at a history of polio museum in Joburg, South Africa This is how dreadful things were before mass vaccination made this disease disappear If quacks like RFK Jr had their way, we could see the return of polio!!
His American daddy sponsor will no doubt be profiting through this deal. There's no other way to hear Charlie?
Drifted? Your comment implies that he has no agency. We are not in agreement.
Explain your comment.
#Cdnpoli I've blocked meidas.ca. I don't want to support an American online site profiting off of Canadians and Canadian news. We already have far too many American owned Canadian news outlets. I would've gladly supported Charlie starting his own Canadian made/Canadian owned site.
Meidas is an American platform who has Shopify as a sponsor. Shopify is owned by Canadian tech bros who support Pierre Poilievre and MAGA world. I'm disappointed in Charlie's choice to align himself with Meiselas and crew.
If you’re just learning more about ICE Air, here are the basics: -Commercial charters do domestic shuffle and intl removal flights. Mostly Global X but also Avelo, Eastern Air Express, and Omni. -Private jet charters do removals to Africa, inc. third-country -Coast Guard does domestic shuffles 1/
You cited "Gazan" or Ukrainian journos. Remember the risks these journalists are taking to report what is happening in their countries. Many of these people are professionals who we rely upon for information, of course they should be compensated, many online sites use their information to make $$.
This UCP government treats public educators like absolute shit, every chance they get. “Hey - help us ban books by creating a digital library of every book in your classroom. And do that on your own time, without pay. By the way, don’t even thing about striking. We’ll lock your asses out.” #ableg
Your question was reasonable and I chose to answer it with facts about why I feel the way I feel about Charlie Angus aligning himself with Meidas. The Marilyn impersonator appears to be a Meidas stan who took umbrage with my sharing my opinion about her/his/their favourite American online site.
Are you a groupie? You think I didn't know that they're lawyers? I posted about what I've read with a link to several freelancers who have accused them of stealing work product without attribution nor compensation. Also, I stated that those who own Meidas are not journalists.
#Cdnpoli Heroiam Slava 💙💛
The reason you don't see more whistleblowers from inside the #CorruptCare system is because people are making good on Marshall Smith and TBAs threats and criminally harassing and physically stalking people (i.e. Carrie Tait) whom they deem standing in their way of grifting and corruption. #ableg
Q- Why do Guatemalans migrate to the USA in the first place? A- Because 75 years of USA foreign policies in support of American profiteering wrecked their economy and democracy. No one wants to leave their homeland but they do when it's been destroyed. Thanks USA. theowp.org/reports/the-...

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians. There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.
Foucault points out that routine large-scale criminal incarceration was a relatively late development as it is very expensive and only affordable at a certain level of material resource. And this is how the US has chosen to flaunt its wealth.
Click on this post and then read the post below it. I've read other posts over the past six months that have accused Meiselas of stealing the work of freelance journalists. Meiselas himself is not a journalist.
Reading list for good Canadian kids... And big kids!

I wrote this for Crikey about how media coverage of Dezi Freeman as far back as 2018 fed his paranoia and sovereign citizen talking points. After last week's shootings, it's not great to see media today downplay the role of Nazis into the alarmingly attended March for Australia rallies yesterday.

I think we all know who the ‘stupid babies’ are. Members of an immature government who can’t take feedback, have to have their own way, can’t be trusted with money, and won’t take responsibility for anything they do.
Why does Charlie feel the need to use the American Meidas network? Ben Meiselas of Meidas uses freelance journalists work and doesn't compensate them. I voted for Charlie Angus as leader of the NDP, that Charlie wouldn't have put up with one organisation stealing someone's work w/o compensation.

In my April interview with Belgian newspaper @standaard.be I said: “Xi Jinping will be thrilled at this gift,” as the US pushed key partners away with unhinged trade policy. Afraid the rapprochement meeting between India, China (+ Russia) confirms the thesis. www.standaard.be/bundle/ds/av...
My spouse and I never felt the urge to take the kids. It helps that we both have an aversion to crowds and standing in line. It also always bothered us for all their talk of being an American company, none of their merchandise is made in the USA and #Disney employees have crap wages and no benefits.
This sums up how I feel about Pierre Poilievre. #cdnpoli

NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
G. W. Bush’s 2000 campaign manager, Joe Allbaugh, recommended his old friend Brown for FEMA head. Brown was ending a rocky tenure at an international horse association. Sept 2, 2005, George W. Bush to FEMA Director Michael D. Brown re: Katrina management, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job".
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement. One epidemiologist compared Jim O’Neill’s appointment to “making Elon Musk head of the FAA.”
