HRM Against Austerity | Stop The Cuts! Tell Halifax Regional Council to stop disastrous cuts. Invest in transit, culture, and our future.

One of many quotable points:

"Owning a car in Canada costs an average of $16,000 a year.

As the cost of living climbs in HRM, frequent and reliable transit gives families a real alternative, putting thousands of dollars back in their pockets"

The media made inflation the defining issue of the 2024 race. Biden brought it down, and it was continuing its downward trend right up until the launch of Trump's "liberation day" tariff war. It has been climbing steadily since. The media? Crickets. #EconSky

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post β€” plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.

They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.

This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us.

Pay attention.

A β€˜Tiny Minority’ of Social Media Accounts Drive Canadian Conspiracy Content | The Tyee Researchers found conspiracy claims spread widely, but only some people believe them.

A new study looking at how conspiracy claims spread on social media found that people who use X, formerly Twitter, are much more likely to both be aware of and believe conspiracy theories.

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.
