 When fascism comes to strangle the will of the alberta voter, it will be funded by petro oligarchs.

Hitler attacked sexual education and queer people before he started slaughtering everyone else. Here we are again. 
 @e47f4030 
Same argument as the catholic pedo cult needing tax incentives to bring their special morality to children.  Sick society. 
 Berries and other foods don’t grow during record droughts and relocations rarely work.  There’s not enough COs to haze bears, so municipalities with bears should consider having local bear hazers (technicians) instead of COs shooting so many bears and not having time for other duties.  Remote industrial sites already hire “bear scare” companies, not a new concept.

 The patients with a fancy cellular mobile phone could be told an estimated wait time and then be texted/called 30 min before their turn to come back to the ER…but that’s impossible rocket science

The bankers are the front line workers of the oligarchy, but this one was stupid enough to expose himself at a domestic terrorist event…so I expect the BVCU board members will be making some executive shuffles anytime now.

Me too.  Cancelled my RBC account after decades (my mom opened the account for me as a kid) when they decided to charge me for the privilege of giving them my savings for them to leverage into excess bank profits.  I’m no gimp for greedy bankers. 
 The CEO of Bow Valley Credit Union supports right wing terrorism.

 Oooof.  CBC trips over reality again to try to smear Trudeau.  FYI CBC, the provinces are ultimately responsible and haven’t built social housing either.

 The Ukrainians didn’t want fascism to attack them, but it did.
The Palestinians didn’t want fascism to attack them, but it did.
The Uighur’s didn’t want fascism to attack them, but it did.
The democratic countries didn’t want fascism to attack them, but social media gave them the opportunity, so the fascist oligarchs took it.

Unfortunately you don’t get to choose when fascism attacks, you only get to succumb to victimhood or fight.

 The Christian west supports Israel’s illegal occupation and murders of Palestinians…and so does Orthodox Christian Putin.  So now we can mass murder each other over religion as well as territory.  

If we don’t want war we need stop electing religious people, for their war is endless (until the rapture).

The building owners are culpable for refusing to mitigate bird deaths.  That’s illegal under the migratory bird act.

The governments are culpable for not enforcing the migratory bird act.

North Americans are as gluttonous for right wing propaganda as the Chinese are for CCP propaganda. Apparently got shorted on the critical thought brain cells. 
 Many don’t seem to know it was the  the Russians that started the industrial scale mass murder of Jews on their first conquest of the “Bloodlands” of Eastern Europe during WW1.  The Russians are no savours for Jewish people or Ukrainians or Poles…Stalin and Hitler actually colluded on their murder sprees until Hitler broke the deal and invaded Russian territory.

 Excellent interview on CBC radio about how the media got off track about Yaroslav Hunka, but I haven’t seen this full story about the “blood lands” in Eastern Europe explained in CBC print yet…

Sea level rise is going to make this years catastrophic storms and wildfires “look like amateurs” for effect on humanity 
 @f23fb846 
It’s natural and incredibly energy dense, but we can’t use it for combustion or any other use that creates GHGs, including exploiting new gas fields. The key is “sustainability” rather than “natural”.  Rattlesnake venom is natural…doesn’t make it good for you. 
 @f23fb846 
The irony is that we need fossil fuels and it’s climate and biodiversity harm to build and install renewables 
 Hydro destroys the most valuable wildlife habitat, releases greenhouse gasses, is highly susceptible to terrorism and isn’t resilient to climate change. 

Establishing distributed energy production, like solar rooftops, has none of those drawbacks.

Yet Canada calls hydro “green” for our national GHG calculations…ignoring the fugitive methane releases and other glaring negatives…just like Petro.

There’s been a clear slide to the right since the 70s that I watched happen…now there’s Nazis about.  Agree there’s a clear political opening, and hope someone that youth can rally behind will be a better choice for leader than another grandfather from their grandfathers time.  Bernie is great, but got blacklisted by corporate politics, so someone with education debt is much better.
