I've heard of people buying Canadian flags from Amazon and other places. The best place to get your flag is from the legion (NEVER AMAZON). That way your money is going to help real Canadian veterans.

The way to get away with political scandals as a politician isn't to carefully cover-up 1 scandal, it's to do 5000 scandals in public every day.

Just a few days after receiving his Nobel prize, the writer Albert Camus wrote this beautiful letter to his old teacher (h/t www.themarginalian.org/2014/11/19/a...)

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

From a blue bird to a blue butterfly — we're now on Bluesky!

Ten weeks after a cyber attack, Calgary Public Libraries are now back to full force.
DAILY . . . TWENTY THOUSAND people visit the various Calgary public libraries.

This is why we call her our potato cat. And yes, I am sometimes insanely jealous of her life.

This is a must view video.
The rise of death threats and hate harassment over the last 4 years has been shocking.
The targeting of school board officials, politicians, municipal leaders is an open threat to democracy because it targets people who dare step up to serve.

Happy new year in 2025. In 2025 I ask that you practice kindness even the smallest act may mean a great deal. Most often it will cost you nothing but a few minutes of your time and is a part of healing our own spirits and souls.

If people would just have even the barest idea of what guided the main religions of the world then perhaps these religious wars, and hatred could finally stop & It's not religions that are the problem it's evil men who twist them to suit their own purposes & use them as weapons that are the problem

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion
