ANALYSIS | UBCM convention shows drift from 'compassion fatigue' to concern over crime and disorder | CBC News At the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, addiction, homelessness and crime have become the dominant issues. Mayors from across the province say years of provincial strategies haven’t eased pres...

Yes. Claims of “compassion fatigue“ are in bad faith as true compassion demands JUSTICE. these elected leaders have never acted compassionately

and “compassion fatigue“ is not a thing unless people decide that some people aren’t people

because compassion is humanity

I would love it so much if councillors made all the same arguments they make about bike and bus spending with all transportation spending. It's so fucking obvious you don't care about "informed decisions" or "fiscal responsibility" or "long-term viability" if you don't give cars the same scrutiny.

When it comes to homelessness, what we call ‘compassion fatigue’ is something else entirely “Compassion fatigue” wrongly explains public hostility toward homelessness, masking a failure to recognize shared vulnerability, responsibility and justice in a shared world.

An important read for true believers in democracy and justice.

RPS responds to Sask. privacy commissioner in wake of snooping cases Regina Police Service issued a response to recommendations from the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner Friday.

I've been saying this since I ran in the 2019 federal election:

Policing must be a regulated profession and people must be licensed to practice policing.

This will ensure that police malfeasance is uniformly disciplined and that the most serious malfeasors cannot "retire" to transfer elsewhere.

B.C. seeks to challenge landmark court ruling over mineral rights and DRIPA | CBC News British Columbia has applied to the Supreme Court of Canada to hear an appeal against a landmark court ruling that found the province's mineral claims regime was "inconsistent" with the United Nations...

UNDRIP was always intended by colonizer-occupiers to be nothing more than nice words and a photo op.

Eby has finally said the quiet part out loud, proving the hypocrisy.

Will the SCC find that Constitutional s. 35 Aboriginal and treaty rights bar the provinces from reversing UNDRIP implementation?

Anyway, I appreciate that you checked my profile and didn't block me.

Search Google for "Breen Ouellette".

You'll find ample evidence that I am a real Indigenous person, failed Canadian politician, and former lawyer of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

I'm constantly following and unfollowing, trying to bring it down to a manageable level, never getting there.

There's an unusually high number of people on the spectrum in my nation.

Is it a byproduct of generational trauma? I can't say for sure, but it is a common trait among my people.

Or back in 1492 when the (white) Pope decreed that GOD decided that white MEN were the superior sovereign landowners of Turtle Island (North America) and later in 1823 the (also white men of the) US Supreme Court said the long-dead Pope was definitely correct and named it the Doctrine of Discovery?

how TF can you say Trump is destroying our country?

at what point was this a good country? when white ppl were EATING BLACK PEOPLE? when they killed entire groups of indigenous ppl? when they killed 1 million Iraqis? when they bombed Hiroshima? when they bombed Libya back to the FUCKING STONE AGE?

His "Little Me" was created in the Littlization Station:

I took my son to Little Canada in Toronto last year.

He was SOOO excited about "Little Vancouver" with the Main Street-Science World SkyTrain station, and many other landmarks of Olympic Village, Chinatown, and the DTES.

I just received the placement photos for my order of his "Little Me"...

"and Lee Pace" 😆😂🤣🤣💀

Halt and Catch Fire is utterly fantastic, though!

Trump is inviting an Ottawa trucker convoy-style occupation of Blue Cities.

Stay woke for that.

You may especially consider pausing before doing this to a woman — even a public woman — because most women have some firsthand experience with sexual predation. They probably don’t need you to make them aware of it or manage their performance of outrage about it.

Thank you for this reminder. Very important.

Arrest IC@ when these masked terrorists are breaking state laws including murder!!

Happy Black History Month, yall!!

The Open Mind | Copaganda and Feartopia | Season 2025 Civil Rights Corps executive director Alec Karakatsanis discusses his book "Copaganda."

"So one thing that local news does is it reports certain crimes and certain incidents, typically incidents involving poor people, people of color, immigrants and strangers. And it ignores the harms that are caused by people who have power and wealth in our society." -Alec Karakatsanis

The top US ICE cop...

...the one that zealously enforces a racist policy...

...turns out to be a racist.

SURPRISE! /sarcasm

U.N. Says It’s in Danger of Financial Collapse Because of Unpaid Dues

Trump will let the UN fold, then turn the New York HQ into a hotel.

I always applaud an inclusive answer. 😆👍

How often do people get arrested for the "crime" of "interrupting a church service"?

My Dear Departed Dad did that once, when a priest said something he didn't agree with. I was a teenager and I witnessed it.

No cops were called.

One man down, 3,999,999,999 to go? 😞

Much like PM Mackenzie King, he learned the hard was that pro-appeasement is, at best, licking the boot that intends to step upon one's neck.

Still, it astounds me how few Americans demand the USA to ratify the ICC.

They're not very self aware, at best.

And at worst, they are too self aware. 😬

I guess the common thread is that only men control their own bodies in a patriarchy.

Kids are slaves to families.
Women are slaves to men's desires.

Patriarchy such a fucking disease.
