Progressive. Never Conservative. Science, climate change, wealth inequality. Woke. Proud Canadian born in Yellowknife now happily vaxxed in Toronto. Need more nice. Like science esp. astronomy, news, reading everything but mostly SFF, horror, mystery.
Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.
Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.
The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trumpβs hands.
"Children are being killed in American and Israeli attacks on Egypt and Iran. Between past and present, the same policy of killing persists by the same killer."

Six planets will be visible low on the western horizon, about 30-60 mins after sunset. You can see Jupiter, Saturn, Venus & Mercury with the naked eye, but you'll need binoculars/telescope to see Neptune and Uranus! @kpixtv.bsky.social

Iβll believe petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre has sincerely turned over a new leaf when he condemns his KuKluxKonvoy, πgun cult, anti-vaxx, anti-immigrant and anti-abortion supporters and admits that thatβs what the vast majority of π¨π¦Canadians have already done.

This is still worth saying for the record.
No one who is opposed to the US bombing of Iran is actually SUPPORTIVE of the repressive regime currently in Iran.
This is not a case of choosing one evil over another. Rather, it's choosing a universal principle, that unprovoked murder is always wrong.

Targeting schools and murdering children?
Par for the course for Israel.
Bombing cities to change the channel on Epstein? Such are the crimes of Trump.
But Carney?
He failed the world by giving these monsters the thumbs up.
He has repudiated Canada's stance at Davos.

PM Carney has forgotten the story of the crocodile.
The appeaser supports feeding others to the crocodile in the hope that the crocodile will eat them last.
We are watching horrific violence in the Middle East.
Canada cannot stand with the crocodiles.

It is absolutely the case that Iran interfered in 2020 election--by pretending to be Proud Boys, & threatening voters of color.
It is absolutely the case that Iran hacked Trump (starting w/Roger Stone) in 2024.
It is ALSO the case that in 2016, 2020, & 2024, Russia provided Trump far more support
Sadiq Khan spitting facts, unlike the PM: "The vast majority of those who are thinking of voting Green are not extreme. Many share our values and hopes for the country but are disappointed with the government. Calling them extreme will only turn more people away."
