I wonder how this voter is feeling at the gas station. If it's the only way to get these morons to wake up to the problem with their cult, then so be it.

We are now in the early stages of WW3 all nations must stand against Trump and Netanyahu before they kill more innocent people. We will discuss on Monday’s OShow with @joniaskola.bsky.social

We changed BIG when the consequences were a lot LESS than what we’re facing from the #ClimateCrisis. Don’t let anyone tell you we CAN’T change.

This has been true, of course, for decades. But the people making decisions over those decades have been delighted to keep our energy supplies reliant on a turbulent and distressed part of the world. And calling those of us who see the problem cranks.

Looking into a used bookstore at night

The beautiful chaos of a used bookstore is unmatched.

We killed our downtowns to recreate them in malls surrounded by a sea of asphalt parking.

A skier moving downhill through snow while leaning forward with both ski poles planted. The person wears a dark winter coat with light stripes on the sleeves, dark trousers, gloves, and a hat with goggles. Their skis cut through the snow as they angle their body toward the slope, suggesting speed and control. The background is mostly white snow with little visible landscape detail.

The Guy Who Abandoned Ukraine Is Now Begging Ukraine to Save His War Trump spent a year calling Zelensky a grifter, cutting off weapons, and humiliating him on live TV. Now he needs Ukrainian drone experts to clean up his Middle East mess. Welcome to the Upside Down.

Liberals by 15 and the Prairies are in play. Wide leads in Quebec, Ontario, Atlantic and BC. But the numbers have tightened, a lot, in Alberta and Saskatchewan. PM Carney's travels to market Canada is one reason why.

Maud Lewis sits at a small table in a brightly decorated room, smiling warmly while holding a paintbrush and a small object in her hands. She wears a floral apron over a green dress and a headscarf. Around her are painting supplies, including jars, brushes, and a dark container on the table. The walls and nearby surfaces are covered with colorful folk-art paintings of flowers, animals, and simple scenes, filling the small space with bright reds, yellows, greens, and blues. Sunlight from the right side illuminates her face and the cluttered painting area.

If there was a surface, Maud Lewis painted on it.
She turned her small home into a colourful work of art.
While she was born with birth defects, she never let that stop her from capturing the beauty she saw in the world.
This is her story.

Maud Lewis It seems like an unassuming home. Only 15 square metres, and most would call it a shack. But inside, it is a visual wonderland. A feast for the eyes. Visitors feel like they’ve entered a surreal wo…

“Canada we cannot get into this war! It’s a war of malicious motives. Iranian people are not being protected. We can’t believe anything from three regimes that lie. We have to hold onto our values and fight for democracy!”

Note this IMPORTANT paragraph.

“Some urbanists claim [the 15-Minute City] manufactured controversy has ‘died down,’ but the truth is that in many ways, the disinformation achieved its goal.”

That’s NOT ok. With or without the brand, the concept of proximity is critical & common sense. Discuss it.

Have you ever wondered what an itemized bill looks like for an uneventful birth at an American hospital? Well, here's what we experienced and I find it odd that we have money for ballrooms and forever wars, but the people can't have universal healthcare.

So sorry to hear that. In Canada the birth wouldn't have cost anything.
You need a new government.

I do feel like the "Trump works for the carbon lobby and Russia, which is also part of the carbon lobby." continues to be pretty good heuristic for predicting behavior.
