"Let's Call the 'GREAT' Gaza Post-War Plan Exactly What It Is: Ethnic Cleansing" The ridiculous and leaked 'Riviera' proposal offers Palestinians just $5,000 to leave & includes projects like the 'Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone,' writes Palestinian lawyer Diana Buttu for Zeteo.
"Mr. Nadler said that when Congress returns later this month, he plans to join a growing number of Democratic lawmakers trying to use congressional authority to block the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel." Remarkable sign of the times.
I'm back and ready to raise hell! While I was away, I read a lot about propaganda. So today, I want to tell you a story of how propaganda and smear campaigns work together to silence pro-Palestine voices -- like that of Mohamad Fakih. Let's talk about it:
The Law Society of Alberta has disbarred both John Carpay and Jay Cameron of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms for hiring a private investigator to surveil Manitoba Court of King's Bench Chief Justice Glenn Joyal. documents.lawsociety.ab.ca/wp-content/u...

Interesting study out of Simon Fraser University that calculates that the costs of climate change to GDP now outweigh the benefits of oil & gas to the Canadian economy. (I can't judge the maths for myself, but it's an interesting proposition).
Radio Canada invited on a dude who is on Twitter calling journalists Hamas sympathizers -- the same lie Israel has used to justify its murder of them? Yikes!
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

I was used to living in the city and only gassing up when the low fuel warning appeared, lol.
I never I let ...,
That's why I let my gas tank get below half when I lived in a rural area. Our nearest gas station was a 15 minute drive away. One of my church points was miles and miles away from a gas station.

We simply do not hold premiers to account in this country. All attention and blame gets directed to the federal government regardless. A big chunk of this is the media's fault, but opposition parties, federally and provincially, also own a share of this problem because they go along with it.
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recently declared routine vaccination for influenza, pneumococcus, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) as the fourth pillar of cardiovascular prevention. Dumm nur dass Deutschland das nicht weiß academic.oup.com/eurheartj/ad...
This would carry more weight if anyone in our government a) “believed in” science; b) understood scientifically determined facts are actually facts until disproved by better science; c) cared about the lives of people in this province; d) were able to see the potential of actual innovation.
Holy crap. SW SK is Zone 4. Used to be Zone 2.

Back to school time! Drop-off + pick-up at our kids' elementary school in #Montreal used to be a dangerous rodeo. This year, we got approval for a rue-école (school-street). Closed to cars—open to people. I explain how we did it in this weekend's Globe: 🧵 www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
It is September, yet Canada’s arctic is on fire, sending smoke over much of North America. Fires have also flared up again in northwest Saskatchewan and southern BC.
CRA delays are so bad even MPs can’t get timely help—our “special line” now takes 5–6 wks. Seniors, cmty orgs & families are stranded. Gov’t has no problem chasing money owed, but if you need help, no answers. It’s got to change. I told the Finance Minister: fix the CRA. cheknews.ca/its-got-to-c...

Just so you know - pilots are taught to fly using "paper maps" first. Many aircraft carry books of maps for this very reason. They always have an aeronautical map of their route. And a compass is built into the planes.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
www.cbc.ca/news/politic... Yes. We Canadians do decry antisemitism in Canada. Will Housefather and his 31 Liberals also decry literal genocide and stealing of the homeland planned for ALL Palestinians in Gaza? Or are they only narcissistic victims? For themselves? @bobrae.bsky.social
The company that makes Jack Daniels whiskey is moaning about the Canadian boycott resulting in a 62% sales drop. It should be 100%. Keep it up, Canada.

How an actual scientist roasts JFK Jr.
The Saskatchewan Party won enough seats to form its majority, claiming the majority of rural ridings. Its majority was reduced from eleven seats to three by a resurgent NDP—which achieved its best electoral performance since 2007 by taking every seat in Regina and all but one in Saskatoon.
The “power of prayer,” as evangelicals understand it, should be ardently and aggressively mocked. God is not a bearded man in the sky who passively allows some tragedies to occur but actively wills the good of straight white Protestant evangelical fundamentalists.
Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?
