‘They All Tried to Break Me’: Gisèle Pelicot Shares Her Story

“They called me an accomplice, they said I was a woman who had consented…I can assure you that I didn't flinch, not once until the very end I held on. It takes guts. You have to be strong.” @lulugnavarro.bsky.social interviews Gisèle Pelicot - a woman of incredible courage, who refused to be shamed.

But we spent $400 million on a parking lot for a hospital built in a shit location that will be staffed… by nobody I guess #ottawa

Halifax is at least being more explicit about the requirement to own a personal vehicle to live in the city. The lack of politicians anywhere who are calling this out baffles me. It’s a fucking mystery why folks can’t see what this for what it is: buy a car, or fuck off somewhere else or suffer…

"Unfortunate event" is an understatement.

We can make the most of this if we leverage tech like tokenization as a means to open up a broader market - incl 🇨🇦 retail investors.

Iltis! Kind of cold for it currently.

Fraudulently labelled American chicken is flooding into Canada, farmers charge - The Logic Premium American chicken meat has been getting into Canada duty free because it’s falsely labelled as low-grade. Border officials are trying to stop that.

American chicken exporters seem to be getting good-quality meat across the border by fraudulently labelling it as lower-quality "spent fowl," and Canadian chicken farmers are having a cow.

Which is why we need to demand *accountability* from every premier in this country. Every federal cent that gets transferred to the provinces for health care should HAVE to be used on health care (it currently isn't), instead of being funnelled into whatever pet projects premiers use it on instead.

Fucking cowards

I am devastated by today’s horrific shootings in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. My prayers and deepest condolences are with the families and friends who have lost loved ones to these horrific acts of violence.   I join Canadians in grieving with those whose lives have been changed irreversibly today, and in gratitude for the courage and selflessness of the first responders who risked their lives to protect their fellow citizens. Our ability to come together in crisis is the best of our country — our empathy, our unity, and our compassion for each other.   I have connected with Premier Eby to express my condolences, and with the Minister of Public Safety, Gary Anandasangaree, who is coordinating the federal response.    Our officials are in close contact with their counterparts to ensure the community is fully supported as best we can. The Government of Canada stands with all British Columbians as they confront this horrible tragedy.

I realised an "all" to see the trend (or if there is one) would be useful, but just a "total summary" without context isn't too useful either, totals can be spiked by outliers.

So... I concocted this monster. It needs a legend, but what do you think? Useful?
