British authorities said Tuesday they are sending air support to Saudi Arabia to protect the kingdom against missiles and drones launched by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in neighboring Yemen.

I’m having a hard time understanding all the celebration around the Alberta vote. Sure, they rejected separation, but that was never the point of the referendum. The government was seeking permission to institute racist policies… and they got it!

Moreover, it succeeded. I believe that the separation question was simply the most dramatic, and bc of its weight, was declared the reason a referendum was needed. It was the other nine questions that were the critical ones, and Alberta failed in exactly the way it was meant to

To all those "celebrating" the rejection of the separation vote in AB, understand that that was never the goal. This was a campaign supported by foreign interests to destabilize Canada and promote a racist, white nationalist agenda, and create grievance ammunition to further destabilize us.

The referendums aren't making policy. They're manufacturing consent for the policies she was enacting already.

Of course, if we take the Supreme Court's recent decision in Kanyinda seriously, this would probably be unconstitutional. Referenda are a stupid way to make policy decisions, generally.

My most middle aged old man take but on some level it seems obvious every guy coming out as 'poly' in middle age is basically just a dude who is sort of openly saying "or I'm just going to cheat" and they've lucked into a point in American history where that angle doesn't instantly vilify you.

Those with power will eagerly discover your limits in order to exploit them. They will put any and all of their efforts out of reach of what you are willing to do If the goal is to win, then you cannot operate with limits in mind. You must be ready to apply pressure wherever they are softest.

Some people clearly need to hear this: Every big successful peaceful protest movement of modern history had a violent counterpart. Peaceful protest stopped working the moment the ruling class realized ignoring it wouldn't lead to violent uprising.

This is true, but to be fair, the legacy and impact of Alberta already was racism.

Johnny “Euro Hoser” Renton@johnnyrenton.bsky.social · 15h ago

I’m not claiming the rest of Canada is perfect because it isn’t. But unlike Quebec who’s harsh anti-immigrant stance is partly masked due to the French language, Alberta doesn’t have that protection. The legacy and impact of this referendum won’t be that remain won. It’ll be the racism.

"But history shows that standing up to the city’s police force comes with great political risk." Then, we don't live in an actual democracy.

The Local Magazine@thelocal.to · 17h ago

Despite being rocked by one of the biggest scandals in its history, the city’s police force is getting nothing but support from major candidates in the municipal election. @wencyleung.bsky.social on the big issue that's been absent from this campaign. thelocal.to/toronto-poli...

Basically, to summarize, "We may be stupid and hateful, but we're not stupid and hateful _traitors_" which I guess is technically better.

It’s great seeing the Alberta separation numbers matched polling data. The other referendum results aren’t so great. The “let’s amend the Constitution to reflect that Alberta is a special snowflake“ vote mostly won. Smith has a mandate to continue being extremely annoying. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Can PEI have a pointless referendum of undeliverable ideas too?

Nation shocked as Alberta makes good decision

EDMONTON - With 76% of Albertans voting to reject a referendum on leaving Canada, the remainder of Canadians have registered "pleasant shock" at the province's decision to, for once, not shoot itself ...

This separation guy is such a buffoon. These people made hating Trudeau their whole identity, and the fact that it still is, with Trudeau long gone, just reveals how ridiculous they are. Completely incoherent.

lmao what aims? What has been produced? What a joke

Sandy Hendry@sandyhendry.bsky.social · 2d ago

To far-left folks saying looting and burning in France is normal and not being manipulated by extremist puppet masters to the joy of Le Pen/Putin/Trump, I would note that the US is also seeing a form of protest that has historical precedent and is usually much more productive in achieving its aims.

It's a key part of conservative ideology: "I have no obligations to you and I can treat you however I like, but you are required to love me."

BREAKING: Duncan Kinney has pled guilty to mischief in relation to the vandalism of the bust of Roman Shukhevych outside the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex in August 2021.

Democratic candidates are not owed votes and if they want votes they should earn them. There is nothing controversial about this statement and it's a catastrophe for the political health of the country and party that so many people disagree.

What's extremely telling is that there is never once an article like this written from the perspective of the person who cut off their parent.

Fuck Calgary Opera. Sanchez-Ortega: “After the theatre, (political or otherwise) we all have to go home, and look at ourselves in the mirror. It was my honor to play the role of Angelotti, an escaped political prisoner.” Email CalgaryOpera <info@calgaryopera.com>. operawire.com/calgary-oper...

Calgary Opera Replaces Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega in 'Tosca' After Singer Displays Palestinian Flag During Curtain Call - OperaWire

The Calgary Opera has announced that it will be replacing Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega as Angelotti after the bass-baritone took out the Palestinian flag at the curtain call on the Oct. 16 opening night.

operawire.com

Opera is and always has been abidingly political. Angelotti is an escaped political prisoner. Who better to express solidarity with Palestinians, trapped in a death camp, whatever the ‘authorisation’ status of the action. Shame on Calgary Opera. Solidarity with the artist and the Palestinian people.
