There is a deeply troubling and systemic problem in Canadian policing. In Ottawa another officer is suspended for improperly accessing databases that officers on the force have used to stalk women.
This is terrifying.

@OACPOfficial@TorontoPolice Baloney, policing is statistically one of the safest professions. It is only made dangerous by the incompetency and degeneracy of the officers themselves
Copa do Mundo é uma boa ocasião pra lembrar que "israel" exterminou ao menos 437 jogadores de futebol palestinos, mais de 800 atletas e que o presidente da FIFA é alvo de denúncia no Tribunal Penal Internacional como cúmplice de "israel" em crimes de guerra e de lesa-humanidade?
People are homeless because of capitalism.
People are dyinğ from a lack of healthcare because of capitalism.
People are overworked, underpaid and unhappy because of capitalism.
Capitalism was not designed for the betterment of society. It was designed to enrich the ruling class.
Every fucking day …
Ok, I’m very cognisant we lost two cops this week alone.
But this shit needs to stop.
Former Peterborough Police PC Mackenzie Rogers and ‘Gone in Sixty Seconds’ movie extra, has resigned after pleading guilty to possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 involving a stolen Dodge Ram valued at more than $100,000.
Court documents state Rogers was “wilfully blind” (translation - he fucking knew!!!) to the truck being stolen and that fraudulent paperwork was used to register it.
He was also alleged to have accessed police databases regarding the vehicle while working in a property crime unit. (Translation - this is how they know he fucking knew)
Police officers are held to a higher standard.
Public confidence requires transparency, accountability, … blah … blah … blah ...
Your cops!
You know when you’re doing something wrong.
STOP IT!

Elon Musk is set to become a trillionaire within the next few months and a Karl Marx quote comes to mind.
"One day there will be trillionaires, but you will still have nothing."
Amazing powers of prediction.
Doug Ford closed Queen’s Park for 5 months, THEN promised committees would keep working.
So why did I drive in from Niagara Falls to do the work, only for his PCs to fight like hell to cancel summer meetings?
Is there a promise Ford won’t break? #onpoli
Thank you @Wayne_Gates f pi r the respect you hold for being an elected representative. This goes for the other MPPs from the Opposition parties in the committee.
As usual, @fordnation and @SteveClarkPC make these BS statements that they have no intention of following.
Reporting from the historic city of Tyre for @TheNationalNews. We saw clear damage at one of the archaeological sites, where wreckage was scattered among ancient Roman ruins and a column had been broken by an Israeli strike on Sunday. The attack targeted, and completely obliterated, a heritage house just a few metres away.
The area is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which legally protects landmarks or areas legally because of their “outstanding value to humanity.”
The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant profit-generating machine for corporations.
Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders.
That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live.
It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless.
Music is made to be as profitable as possible, which means giving it the broadest possible appeal using formulaic song structure calculated to cause a chemical response in the largest number of human brains.
Movies are designed to draw the largest possible box office revenue at the lowest possible risk to studios and investors, often by just rehashing a movie that’s already proven successful in the past or by slapping together a story about an IP with pre-existing mass appeal.
Food is made to be fast and addictive rather than nourishing.
Healthy human connection has been commodified as social media intertwines with friendships and dating apps insert themselves into the development of romantic relationships.
Human sexuality is being warped and twisted as internet porn normalizes violence and degradation for the maximum number of clicks.
Attention and engagement have been monetized, creating an information ecosystem dominated by conflict and gossip designed to appeal to our baser instincts.
Advertisement is injected into every possible corner of our waking sensory experience, with any available space where the eye might rest or the ear might listen being flooded with psychological manipulation compelling us to consume. They’ll start running commercials in our dreams the instant they have the technology to do so.
You spend eight hours at the office working to generate corporate profits, then you come home and consume products to profit other corporations. You need your beer and snacks to unwind, your streaming services and social media to distract your mind from the stress of it all, your online clothing purchase to try to feel good about yourself, and your prescription drugs to get to sleep at night. People live their entire lives like this.
And that’s those of us who are lucky enough to be living in the global north. In the global south you get wage slavery and exploitation with far more toil, far less relaxation time, and no cheap products made by impoverished workers on other continents with which to comfort yourself.
All of humanity has been roped into this mess. And for what? To make the numbers in some bank accounts increase. To get some green arrows pointing upward on the stock exchange. To enable a few billionaires to buy islands and elections.
All while destroying the biosphere we all depend on for survival.
This, we are told, is the best possible system we could possibly be living under.
I personally do not believe this is true. I personally believe we can have better. Those who benefit from this current arrangement are going to assure us it’s impossible and do everything they can to stop us from changing it, but we do have the means to reclaim the wealth, dignity and happiness that they have stolen from us.
They built this whole machine on our backs. All we need to do is stand up.

Voila, smaller classes
