We are dealing with the dumbest, meanest, craziest weirdos in the world, and the only thing they understand is domination. Any Canadian who doesn’t blame the Trump administration for all of this is firmly in quisling territory

Cette photo mérite absolument tous les prix. Elle a même sa place au Louvre.

Elle relate précisément l’inertie de l’individu face à l’effondrement.

Regardez la composition. Un chef-d’œuvre involontaire.

Au premier plan, le sable doré, les tongs abandonnées, la glacière. Le décor ordinaire du bonheur estival. Deux personnages assis, de dos, comme dans un tableau de Caspar David Friedrich. Sauf que Friedrich peignait des hommes contemplant le sublime. Ici, ils contemplent la catastrophe. Et ils ne bougent pas.

Au centre, le parasol. Publicitaire, criard, dérisoire. Un pastis face à l’apocalypse. C’est presque trop parfait : la France qui prend l’apéro pendant que le monde brûle. Aucun scénariste n’aurait osé.

Et puis le ciel. Les deux tiers de l’image. Cette muraille de fumée qui avale la lumière, ce dégradé d’ocre et de noir digne d’un Turner. La nature qui reprend la palette des maîtres pour peindre notre propre fin.

La femme photographie l’incendie avec son téléphone. Mise en abyme totale : nous documentons notre disparition au lieu de l’empêcher.

Cette image dit tout. Le déni, le confort, l’habitude. Nous sommes tous sur cette plage. Nous voyons tous le nuage. Et nous restons assis, parce que l’eau est bonne et qu’on a posé nos congés.

Les historiens de l’art parleront un jour de cette photo comme on parle du Radeau de la Méduse.

Sauf que cette fois, le naufrage, c’est nous qui le regardons depuis la plage.

Canada:
🏥 Universal healthcare
✅ Ranks 6th in healthcare outcomes

United States:
💰For-profit healthcare
❌ Ranks last in healthcare outcomes of high-income nations

Arguing against universal healthcare with Medicare for All is arguing for the deaths of 68k Americans per year.

196,088 verified signatures.
Reduced to 172,088 signatures by a phone check of just 384 people

Whatever you think about coal, that process will affect every future citizen petition in Alberta.

We just added the full story to Alberta Watchdog plus more

Danielle Smith has spun Meta's new plant to make it sound like not only are they bringing their own power, they're adding to the grid.

But on closer examination, it's the exact opposite.

[Mimi Williams (she/her) @MimiProbably]

Just because this sort of thing has happened everywhere else, we should absolutely believe Danielle Smith and the UCP when they say it won't happen here. They'd never lie, right? Right? #ABPoli #SturgeonCounty

[@CanadianProtest @CanadianPro2]

The Power Plant is to be built AFTER the Data Centre starts operations.

She lies so easily, it's terrifying.

[Lucy 🇨🇦 @TheBlueGem3]

The UCP have lost their dam minds. Greedy Assholes. Albertans will suffer blackouts and electricity increases.

[Terry T. 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @terry_truchan]

How much fresh water will be required per year to run it?
Why have environmental studies been waved?

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

The scandals under the UCP continue to mount. It looks like the methodology used to disqualify the Water Not Coal petition was deeply flawed. How can we possibly have trust in Elections Alberta to run the next election? Sadly, that may be the UCP’s goal. https://t.co/TCad1sFR4c

this whole carolina hurricanes cup situation just reaffirms that some people were put on this earth to Lick Boot. like sorry in what world would a real fan defend some random nepo babies getting their names engraved on the cup instead of players and staff who actually contributed

[Jeremy Park @Jwdpark]

If companies keep getting nothing but a slap on the wrist for doing this and get to keep the profits they will just keep doing it. Any fine or settlement just becomes a business cost. We should be dealing with these executives the way China would. They'd stop it very quickly.

[Charles Prepolec 🇨🇦 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 @sherlockeditor]

'Flooding the zone' as a diversion and normalizing tactic is definitely working for Danielle Smith. There's the data breach, but also the corrupt care scandal being forgotten. We're starting to normalize the abnormal grifter behaviour in Alberta. Just like USA did with Trump.

[Kathryn Mathias @KathrynMathias1]

Shouldn't something as controversial as a data centre, be added to this fall's referendum - with the opportunity for Albertans to have a say whether they're alright with this?

[guyfelicella🇨🇦🍁 @guyfelicella]

Wyoming: "Our data center contaminated the water."

Alberta: "Hold my beer."

[@CanadianProtest @CanadianPro2]

So she LIED.

AGAIN.

We done yet Alberta?

[Mimi Williams (she/her) @MimiProbably]

This Meta?

"Officials in Wyoming said a contractor for Mark Zuckerberg’s tech company, Meta, flushed bacteria-contaminated water into public sewers during construction of a controversial new AI datacenter." #ABPoli

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

Let’s be clear: Meta chose Alberta because the UCP ditched the requirement for impact assessments. They got approval without having to address concerns about the project’s impact on our water usage or power prices. Smith serves the billionaire class, not Albertans.

An Argentina fan lost his wallet…

The guy who found it turned the owner's name into a chant to track him down… It worked!

Football fans are the greatest. 👏🇦🇷
