Last Notes npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 “Wang Chuanfu, BYD’s CEO, barely slept for weeks. Three passengers, all in their twenties. His chemistry. His cell. His company’s name on the casing. He had not built it to kill anyone, but it had. He pulled his engineers together with one question: What is the mechanism by which this cell fails, and how do we make that physically impossible” Someone needs to get this article in front of Mark Carney and Doug Ford and then the stupid limits on Chinese cars need to be eliminated so Canada can start building these things immediately. This is the future. China is leading that future and we need to come to terms with it and use our influence to make it, and them, better. https://www.fastcompany.com/91519302/byd-nail-test-why-this-54-billion-innovation-is-terrifying-western-auto-executives?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub #climateEmergency #climatechange #byd #china #canada #canpoli npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 Not a Tech Bro.

Because, he says, there's a fundamental issue at play. "We cannot really trust what the airlines are telling us as passengers."” https://www.cbc.ca/news/gopublic/westjet-passenger-flights-cancelled-9.7143680 #canpoli #cdnpoli npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 A message especially for my Canadian male followers out there today, but it applies to all. If you see a story from a woman calling out the behaviour of a man, believe them. Yes, believe them over the 'bro’, especially when there are multiple corroborating stories. Don’t feign impartiality. Don't ignore. Just believe them, it's not that hard. It's long past time we do this as the default. It will make us all better in the long run. That is all. #BelieveWomen #Tech #Mastodon https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/system/media_attachments/files/116/279/188/637/308/826/original/ca06b217e844f5f5.mp4 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 Mark Carney April 4, 2025: “Promises to increase CBC Funding” Mark Carney March 19, 2026. "the CBC will get $192 million less next year, a seven per cent spending cut.” Also... cut food security, cut climate financiing, cut Space Agency, cut Env Canada…. Always so many broken promises. It's the Liberal way. From @nprofile…ekkv: https://globalnews.ca/news/11737460/mark-carney-spending-plans-cuts/ Old promise, on CPAC: https://www.cpac.ca/leaders-tour/episode/mark-carney-promises-to-increase-cbc-funding--april-4-2025?id=fe4586fb-1e90-4f39-a8de-8a64c8035336 #CanPoli #CdnPoli #CBC #MarkCarney #LiberalParty #NDP #CPC npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 If only Carney had the courage to say something like this on behalf of Canadians... Prime Minister Sanchez of Spain: “Because the question is not whether or not we are in favour of the Ayatollahs. No one is. Certainly not the Spanish people and of course not the Spanish government. The question, rather, is whether or not, we are on the side of international law and therefore, of peace.” instead we get waffling and backtracking. #IranUSAIsraelWar #España #Spain #Canada #CanPoli #CdnPoli https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/system/media_attachments/files/116/172/737/522/546/869/original/16e335f68e6f6d05.mp4 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 I came across this short from Ryan McBeth, he has good information about how misinformation and foreign actors influence social media.

In terms of “sexy shit” that is one of the most subdued family friendly performances in the history of the Super Bowl. And does’t Mr. Bunny make a specific point to say that women can do and dance and dress however they like because they have the power not him or any man. 👍 I wish I understood more. But it was great. And I got the sugar cane reference at least. Big enough reference to drive a truck through. 😂 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 @nprofile…3zg0 @nprofile…v5kx fully hear that. the BS electronics are wholly unnecessary and superfluous to the functioning of the car.

But it sounds like in the main, they handled the situation ok even if they ran cover for a horrendous elected racist in Dallas Brodie. Bravo to the people at UBC for making it clear that the agent-provocateur and hate-speech politician has no place, has no voice for her hateful rhetoric. Residential school denialism *should* be a hate crime. The RCMP should be arresting Brodie, not protecting her hate propaganda tour. Our Universities must be places of truth. Truths can be debated in context, but Brodie, like Charlie Kirk, isn't actually debating. No minds are going to be changed. No resolution found. Dallas Brodie is only there to grab a headline and advance an extremist, regressive, and openly white supremacist agenda by advancing denialist views that dismiss truth and facts and calling it “anti-woke”. #Canada #BC #CharlieKirk #OneBC #BCPoli #DallasBrodie #ResidentialSchools #Denialism #Rightwing #CultureWar https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/onebc-ubc-event-truth-reconciliation-9.7057376 https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/system/media_attachments/files/115/946/208/671/275/050/original/13baec94921f6880.png npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 Dear America, It is time to get into the streets and demand this insane man leave. Impeachment will not work, nor the 25th amendment. Stop thinking you have to go to Civil War (or any further toward that end) in order to force your president to resign. Stop thinking the midterms will save you. You and your friends need to do it by popular, peaceful, overwhelming demonstration. You. Now. Force him to Resign. #TheAmericanFascist https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/system/media_attachments/files/115/940/088/489/085/970/original/e9185cd8ac56097c.mp4 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 when a large financial institution rejects an official PDF document because: "we couldn't see all four corners of your document” It's a PDF you IDIOTS. tell me you're relying on crappy AI/automated verification tools without telling me you're relying on crappy AI/automated verification tools. #AI #lazy #costcutting #moreHumansPlease #banks https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/system/media_attachments/files/115/894/601/736/198/771/original/b0553e68b86a223e.mp4 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 @nprofile…yz28 he’s found the formula and now he’s gonna use it everywhere. #TheAmericanFascist npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 @nprofile…x9tq sorry if it came off accusatory towards you.

Just noticed an Air Canada Jazz flight from Vancouver to Winnipeg (JZA7110). That's about 1900km. I look because turbo-props like the DH8 (aka Q400) are more fuel efficient and have lower CO2 emissions than jets. They also fly lower, generally around 20 - 25,000ft, so lessen the stratospheric pollution vs. 30-40,000ft. https://www.flightradar24.com/JZA7110/3dcc6217 #ClimateAction #CarbonEmissions #Flying #Bombardier #DeHavilland #Dash8 #flying npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 wild 🚆 https://mastodon.social/@onthisday/115849561587566769 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 “Alberta's Danielle Smith says Maduro capture outlines urgency of West Coast pipeline” no.

It's a much more general question. The problem is, man-camps *are* a problem. They *are* rife with sexist, abusive, assholes. I have heard the first hand accounts myself from my own friends. Calling that out isn't "anti-union" (none of the camps I know of in BC are union shops) nor "anti-worker” because it is the workers themselves (men and women) who suffer. The problem is companies that don't give a shit about their workers: Like Red Chris in BC not bothering to even put up electric fences to keep Grizzly Bears out. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/red-chris-mine-violations-1.7064719 The more fundamental policy problem the NDP has is environmental activism versus union activism.
