David Eby to become next B.C. premier after NDP ousts leadership rival Anjali Appadurai | CBC News The B.C. NDPΒ executive has voted toΒ disqualifyΒ Anjali Appadurai from its leadership race, effectively crowning David Eby as the next premier of British Columbia.

What establishment Dems tried to do to Mamdani, the BC NDP successfully did to Anjali Appadurai.
She was poised to win the leadership race by actually getting people to join the party. The old guard didn't like that, so they crushed the next generation to maintain their grip on power.

Also, congrats to Coloradans on taxing the rich and feeding kids.

I hope people take the opportunity before their right to vote is gone. This is one of the last checks and balances that seem to be left at least somewhat uncorrupted.

As kids in Alberta we used to always have knee deep snow and blistering cold or blizzard on Halloween. But I'd kind of rather have that than pouring rain.

πŸ€” CHIMPS CAN WEIGH EVIDENCE AND UPDATE THEIR BELIEFS LIKE HUMANS DO πŸ€”

We consider "belief revision"β€”thinking about thinkingβ€”a hallmark of human rationality. But as Cody Cottier reports for Scientific American, new research on our primate cousins suggests we are not alone.

Government operations are the backbone of investing in Canada.

This is a neoliberal agenda nobody asked for.

It's like absolutely no facts and nothing we say or do makes any difference. The UCP are lying bullies.

It's my adhd/insatiable thirst for justice, and my desire to uncomplicate my life. My two wolves.
Can't keep up with making meals for my kids 3x a day, also keeps agreeing to chair more organizations.

This affects our family, it was the only way we've been able to manage our childcare for me to be able to work. We're going to have to go back to the drawing board again i guess.

Homelessness on the Rise in Finland - Y-SÀÀtiâ Asunnottomien ihmisten mÀÀrÀ on kÀÀntynyt kasvuun. Nyt asunnottomien mÀÀrÀ kasvoi HelsingissÀ, vaikka asunnottomia asutettiin vuoden aikana vaikuttava mÀÀrÀ.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s β€œHousing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way.

We used to use tidal, but we can't use them with our Alexa speakers in canada. So we had to switch. If they are ever supported in canada we would likely switch back. Using anything Amazon isn't great either obviously but thats what we have.

The solutions proposed for New Zealand's (and virtually every other country's) problems are always like:
"We need to make people work for more years"
"We have to cut back on services, I'm sorry, there is just no other way"
"We have to cut benefits for young people"

never:
"We need to tax the rich"

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.
