What would Robespierre suggest in terms of dealing with this situation?

1794—Robespierre
"The foundations of a popular government in a revolution are virtue and terror; terror without virtue is disastrous; and virtue without terror is powerless. The Government of the Revolution is the despotism of liberty over tyranny." Where are we now?

That might well be the final play. The rich tax us to help buy the oil fields we already kind of own (I include Indigenous peoples too) then close them. This “crisis” was a perfectly orchestrated one that has repatriated the oil barons’ hands to the rudders of power.

The pipelines would have been great in P Trudeau’s day but we know better now. The oil piece is an Alberta appeasement and sadly counter productive. If it was nation building we could have nationalized oil and earmarked significant $ to public expenditures. But the oil interests never wanted that

The most disappointing thing about the Liberal strategy is that it leverages hopefulness in a cynical way. The greatest aim is to achieve power. Pollievre leverages frustration at empty, hopeful, yet unfulfilled promises. In the end, they serve the extraction industry. while failing on environment

Betrayed by a bat!

Thank you BlueJays for an incredible season. Everyone gave their all and it could have gone either way.

I’ve literally had palpitations. What a great series. Hard being a Jays fan though

Let’s go BLUEJAYS!!!

How DID PP amass millions on an MPs salary? All this “golly gee shucks, I’m for the little guy” rings hollow and cynical when it comes from a guy whose pockets are lined with filthy lucre from Texas Oil billionaires. Shame on Alberta for giving him quarter on the public dime.

Hey remind me, has Pierre Poilievre finally completed his standard security check yet and managed to get the normal, standard security clearance that everyone else even close to his position has?

No?

STILL REFUSES TO?

Hmm.

Wonder what the REAL reason for that is?

This is truly a WORLD SERIES Halloween evening. GO BLUEJAYS! #MLB #Toronto #Baseball

Thanks for sharing your passion for etymology. Words are the breadcrumbs of history

So the penguin is named after the nuns who were named after the Great Auk.

Where would Celts have seen penguins??? Are you saying early celts sailed to the Southern coast of Chile or Antarctica?

Filing this one under “totally normal product defects” 😬

Trey Yesavage reminds me to never turn our backs on our US friends. He’s a fine young man. A lot of “leaders” out there should endeavour to match his work ethic, skill and humility. An exemplary and talented athlete and all around great human. #baseball #MLB #TorontoBlueJays #WorldSeries

It is a GREAT time to be a #BlueJays fan! #MLB #Baseball #Canada

Can’t believe the #Dodgers park security made the shirtless painted Bluejays fans rerobe in a town that invented the skin flick #baseball #bluejays #MLB

@bluejays.com The BlueJays are loved here on BlueSky

Apparently, my powers of prophecy have been struck OUT!

I’m calling #Varsho for the Grand SLAM! #mlb #bluejays #baseball

Black Americans have been dealing with the trampling of their rights from the get go. It finally knocked on the door of J. Q. Public. Let that sink in for a hot second. They have so much collective wisdom on how to endure these hostilities. Perhaps this will promote lasting B/W solidarity.

Rufus Wainwright sends a clear message from all Canadians to the USA in his altered lyrics of Oh Canada. “Only us command!” #politics #Canada #USA #MLB #Baseball @rufus-wainwright.bsky.social

Even a one-eyed person in the land of the blind is a visionary. In the immortal words of Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men: “The truth? You can’t handle the TRUTH!” Thanks for prying eyes open.

It is shocking how our federal government in Canada AND the official opposition are lap dogs of the oil lobby. #MarkCarney #LiberalPartyOfCanada #PierrePollievre #ConservativePartyOfCanada #DanielleSmith #UCP

I must be getting old when I find myself harbouring prohibition sentiments. I feel that our governments have completely doubled down on green lighting, abetting and supplying us with the assets of vice and that is insidious and wrong. Cue the Mayflower!

As a Canadian it is really embarrassing when you travel to Europe or Asia and you experience the scale and breadth of mass transit options. We are feudal serfs of the oil lobby in Canada

Shouldn’t these two have packed it in when Kansas City was put out?

Preposterous public underwriting of welfare cheques to an industry that has been bilking us for record profits while dodging its commitments to maintaining environmental compliance
