I find it strange how Canadian news orgs devote so much attention to vandalized pride flags, really just pieces of cloth, yet become silent on the harm being done to people such as in Alberta with its anti-trans laws. Maybe they ignore it for the same reason good news stories get fewer clicks.

I love sour cream doughnuts, vanilla soft serve, and two-egg-sausage-brown-toast-homefries diner breakfasts. I had two out of three this weekend. It was a good weekend.
Sometimes I get multiple editions of the same book to capture how historical prescriptions were shifted by the intervening lived history.
I used to think there was value in "debating" bad faith actors. The goal wasn't convincing them (futile) but otherwise inaccessible audiences. Now that audiences are groomed with hateful disinfo online, I don't think engaging with shameless liars does good. There's better ways to spend resources.

Like, it all comes back to "why should someone read something no one bothered to write? Or look at something no one bothered to draw?" Except now, on top of that, you want to be PAID for it?? I'm capable of saying "no" politely, but I don't know for how long...
The Canadian government has taken a deregulatory/privatization stance for decades. Its a wealth transfer from poor to affluent to shield the latter from the country's decline in prosperity. Now businesses have come up with people eating machines, but we're still with the hands off approach.
J'y était à plusieurs reprises ce dernier mois pour visiter mon oncle lors de ses dernier jours. Atteint du cancer du cerveau, il avait perdu l'habileté de communiquer en anglais et ne parlais qu'en français. Quelle perte.

We've been in the ripping-the-copper-wiring-out-of-the-walls era of society for awhile now. There's no attempts to make anything better. There's no attempts to make anything people want. It's just syphoning gas out of cars and burying people in gambling debt from rigged betting markets.

The Canadian government only uses human rights as a hammer to wield against foreign entities that are inconsequential or antagonistic to its foreign policy interests. It will never use it against dictatorships and those behind genocides so long as they are military allies of the USA.
