they're too busy building a life raft on New Zealand for when all this goes to hell to give us a heads up.

what did that theatre achieve? what did she do to stop the corporate capture of democratic institutions that lead to the rise of Trump? Given the power she had and did not use, how is she not sharing in the fault? She used insider knowledge to enrich herself, how is that public service?

Guardian news papers cartoon on the Mamdani win, he has picked up the beacon of hope and promise from the downbeat Statue of Liberty

The #NYC mayoral result is a repudiation of wealth inequality & the system that sustains it: unregulated corporate capitalism & its capture of our democratic institutions. Sadly the #LPC ecosystem will entrench to protect privilege & power. Will the #NDP learn? #cdnpoli

remember this when @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social pumps $ into carbon capture. it's a scam to make it look like they are doing something while shoveling funds into the oil industry. Corporate capitalism has captured democracies around the world #cdnpoli

so the #LPC has dropped the pretence and become the Progressive Conservatives. The Conservatives are unserious western separatist populists. And the lane is wide open for the #NDP to become the progressive way forward which the younger generation wants. @avilewis.ca #cdnpoli

unfortunately they will now unleash what they did to Bernie. The existing ecosystem whose privileges stem from the current DNC will fight to the end, it's not about us.

yup. to add insult to injury they shovel this debunked shit to us and don't care. Anyone can google it and see it's a failure. the political class treats us with contempt because 1st past the post means no choice.

#deficits are not paid by tax $. The Gov tells the BofC to create X$. Not inflationary if creating assets. Taxes & interest rates are tools to influence market behaviours. Govt #budget is not the same as a household. The conservative's response is mostly lies. #cdnpoli #budget2024

And carbon capture is not scalable. It’s theatre which spends further funds on the oil and gas industry

Friends who worked on the Hill said he gave his wife a black eye and she disappeared from view for awhile, so no I don’t think he’s a nice person.

I worked at a conservation authority one summer. Essentially the front line against land owners destroying shore line ecosystems, I’m not surprised the conservatives would go after it.

the USA has been destabilizing governments they don't like all over the world for decades and decades. oh course they will do it to NYC.

if you visit the parts of Berlin that were not destroyed, behind each apartment building was a small factory/business space, courtyard green space, and small shops facing the street. An actual 15 minute city. Until we bombed the shit out of it.

The NDP seat loss can be summed up as the electorate didn't believe they could be a credible alternative to the Conservatives. That perception has many facets and they will remain irrelevant until they transform. I'm a party member and will support Avi Lewis for leadership.

even a broken clock tells the time right twice a day. Mulroney is still a SOB.

Lumo is a private AI you get as part of Proton (mail, cloud drive, vpn, password vault). It's Swiss, completely private. No data mining you. It's the best service i could find.

wait to you hear about his boat piloting skills

and before someone claims business will drive the growth, 95% of companies trialing AI at MIT labs failed to find positive ROI. The regional data center model was always going to fail. Latency too high and service provider taking on power & space costs upfront.

always look beyond the AI data center boosting headlines : ChatGPT has 800M monthly users!!! (only 5% pay). it's a pyramid scheme. they'll keep pumping this until it's too big (and embarrassing to politicians) to fail and get bailed out #AI #cdnpoli

Vance dumps his heathen wife for National Socialist Barbie?

Why they never implemented electoral reform. Political class and pundits bemoan the coarseness of discourse and apathy, yet all they offer is least worst options.

only with inspired leadership and effective communication can we bring out the better angels in people to think and act on longer term issues. Look at the new Green Party leader in the UK, went from marginal to leading the Govt in the polls in months. it is possible.

rich coming from the guy who bailed out Wall street.

yet in Sudan the slaughter of innocents continues, in one area there was so much blood on the sand that it was visible from space. But that's okay because Oman controls the gold mine in Sudan and is arming the culprits. And Oman is a US ally. It's what Jesus would do.

it's about positioning in a social class, not colour. Modi, the PM of India's political party is a fan of Hitler. Wrap your head around that.

on top of the ring of fire is Ontario's old growth forest, our version of the amazon. so that's at risk and increases climate change. and the claim of 70k jobs is BS. All new mines are highly automated. Google "5G mining" .

no need to reinvent the wheel. CanadaPosts's Identity+ app is self sovereign identity and could form the foundation. They already tick a lot of the boxes. Once established the foundation could be used for other things like mobile voting, payments, community organizing etc.

i agree with you but it takes leadership and very good communications to get people to move beyond their lizard brain. It's easier to do the opposite, why the Cons continually push the fear button

Trump just bought Argentina. people fearing job loss will vote anyway to reduce risk, that means Cons. human condition is to react to the immediate threat, not the hypothetical. Pay your mortgage vs impact to sovereignty.

Canada Post should launch a payment app as an extension of a digital sovereign Identity+. Look at Pix in Brazil. 96% of adults use it. Undercut the banks and Techbros everyone hates and distrusts. The uptake and dominance of Pix was fast.
