That’s pretty rich, given that the USA has systematic, legislated forced labour.

Drug Fraud has been gunning for the leadership of the CPC for sometime. It’s no coincidence that PP, faced the possibility of defeat in his riding had increased *after* Ontario PC volunteers surged into his riding, “to support him”.

Yes! The argument “don’t provoke them” (MAGA/alt-Right/Fascism-de-jour) is nonsense. They have been at the stage of random murder, disappearances, and ignoring the law for generations, now. (Especially in the Anglo-sphere)
Protests, strikes, voting, civil disobedience, litigation, and sabotage have to be daily, and ubiquitous.
The alternative is looming open civil war, and that will be much worse.

It should have been obvious why nuclear is of limited use in a warming climate: drought, and warming rivers curtail or shut down nuclear power plants.

That was definitely Orwell’s view. Now I’m curious. If I find references, I’ll post to this thread.

Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia” is the only one I know off hand. It’s anecdotal, as it his memoir. It presents the Anarchists very positively, and is very critical of the USSR.

Same. I used to go down the main office of my organization every few months. Now, that’s a firm ‘no’. It makes me sad I really enjoyed visiting my US colleagues.

This will stop when we people, realize we cannot hide from it, and must oppose it. This fascist hooliganism cannot be reasoned with, or lawyered with, or appealed to with humanity & empathy.
Each injury(not just to Canadian visitors) is a performance of the Regime’s demand that we yield to them.

The ‘decarbonized Oil’ rhetoric is the equivalent of a drug dealer boasting that he “no longer gets high, on his own supply”. He is still distributing a dangerous substance.
And cocaine etc doesn’t directly, massively affect the climate like fossil fuels do.

That was my impression(30 years since CAF reserves). In the video I saw one unit was actually marching, four others were almost slouching. Normally, the NCOs would be growling at the sloppiness, and getting the ranks into shape. If he’s lost the NCO corps, Trump’s role as CIC is pretty much done, at least for deployments in the US, itself.

I didn’t expect Canadian Mayors to be the proponents of comprehensive, progressive national goals…but here we are.
They call for national electricity grid, including the north, high-speed rail, and climate resilience.
They reject fossil fuel pipelines as “a handout” and waste of money.

On a more hopeful note, I’m going to an open mic tonight.
Gonna play three covers: “Heroes”, “Take your Mama out”, and “Teenage Kicks”.
The last I’m pitching as nostalgia, and to the lovely folk who have (im)matured along with me.

That is journalistic malpractice. They should limit their reporting to observable facts, and not promote talking points. Of course, the CPC relies on soc-med to get out their disinformation, and that disinformation *campaign* is news worth reporting.

Thanks for this. It’s going to be in my slide deck for my class, today. Most are trying to be kind, but some haven’t figured out that the new status quo can consume them, too.

Well that answers a couple of questions: Yes there are more booby-trapped devices out there, and Israel has access to the battery supply chain.
The only good news is that they apparently haven’t figured out a way to make standard batteries explode.
Anyone know what make/model of batteries were compromised?

Which raises the questions: How many untriggered devices are still out there? How secure are battery supply-chains? How did Israel get access?
