If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
My fav is the poor abused refrigerator. Did Miriam have to chain it shut so he would not rage eat himself into a coma as the foreclosure became reality or are the dents older? Are they from him punching the fridge in frustration at the @LangleyRCMP & @CalgaryPolice not doing his bidding. The state of the rest of the unit’s walls seem to say that he still has anger managment issues and is physically violent. Fortunately no was injured at @SFU and @UBC Will Royal Roads be as lucky?
🚨 RED TENT, SOUND THE ALARM. 🚨
One nurse. Nearly $94,000 in disciplinary costs. A legal battle six years in the making.
And now? IT'S COURT WEEK. From a kangaroo court to a very dangerous precedent should she lose.
This is Canada's Tickle v. Giggle moment.

We could easily afford search-and-rescue dogs in our own national parks if we stopped funding pointless foreign aid projects to support national parks on the other side of the planet.
What am I missing 🤦♀️⁉️
Ottawa just sent $16 MILLION to a national park in GUINEA.
Part of that money pays for training in “feminist climate justice.”🤦♀️
Meanwhile, in Banff, Canada’s national park search-and-rescue dog program is being shut down after 55 years. 🐕
These dogs find lost kids, injured hikers and avalanche victims. Banff gets 4+ million visitors a year, and avalanche season is right around the corner.
Parks Canada says rescue coverage will continue by “other means.”
So here’s the question: why is there money for a foreign park but not for the dogs protecting ours?
Should Canada’s parks come first?

Thank you Amy for everything you have done and for never losing your grace and dignity. Thank you for being a Canadian woman I can point to as an example of strength and courage to my young family members. Someone to respect. I know they love me but I would rather they emulate you as they go away to university or start their professional lives than me.
Dear @LDoerkson,
Your government needs to seriously consider disbanding the BC Human Rights Tribunal. It has made many egregious errors in recent year, but this one takes it beyond the pale. The Tribunal is now playing with people’s lives.
The BC Human Rights Tribunal just ordered LifeLabs to treat the sex marker on a government ID card as optional and to prioritize self-identified gender over the data that lab reference ranges actually use. That decision is not just an insult to common sense. It creates a foreseeable risk that lab results will be misinterpreted and patients will be harmed.
While LifeLabs still has time to seek judicial review, your government should not sit back and wait. It should get involved and reverse this dangerous life-threatening decision.
Lab reference ranges for hemoglobin, creatinine and eGFR, high-sensitivity troponin, certain liver enzymes, PSA and others differ by biological sex because of physiology that cross-sex hormones only partially change. When a laboratory is forced to suppress or override accurate sex data, the risk is false-normal or false-abnormal results. The Tribunal itself acknowledged that sex information “may be medically relevant,” but then dismissed the point. They said that because LifeLabs already processes some “X” marker patients.
This is not a safety analysis. It is an ideological one. The BCHRT is engaging in ideological fantasy at the expense of medical certainty. This demonstrates a pattern for them. The BCHRT repeatedly compels people to lie about sex in the name of inclusion. If a patient is injured because a critical result was interpreted against the wrong range, the laboratory, the province’s laboratory system, and ultimately the public health system face the consequences. A judicial review is probably the cleanest, fastest way to force the Tribunal to confront that evidence under the proper legal test.
The BC Conservative Party needs to make this a political issue for the public to understand. It should urge LifeLabs to file for judicial review within 60-days. It is their duty. We are dealing with a patient safety and regulatory issue, not culture war.
The Tribunal’s finding that there was ‘no evidence’ of medical necessity is open to challenge and must be challenged. This is not a fringe complaint.
LifeLabs is a large corporation that can absorb a fine. What it should not absorb is a precedent that requires medical laboratories to suppress biologically accurate data. The 60-day clock is running. The case for judicial review is straightforward: patient safety is a bona fide justification. We need to say that clearly, publicly, and soon.
And the BC Human Rights Tribunal should be given notice that it is about to be disbanded.
Earth is in the Late Cenozoic Ice Age — the global temperature of 15°C is still far colder than the long-term historical baseline of 24°C.
Yet this week the United Nations launches COP31 in Türkiye, a lavish two-week gathering that puts the climate agenda back on the world stage. But this is only temporary. The world no longer cares. This global warming agenda has been running for 40 years and brought little more than fear, of economic collapse and industrial chaos.
However, the physical reality remains: Earth is technically in an ice age, defined by permanent ice at both poles year-round. Humans evolved and still live within the Quaternary Glaciation, which began 2.58 million years ago. And 10% of the world's land area remains covered by glacial ice.
By comparison, the combined footprint of every town and city on Earth accounts for only 1 to 3% of total land area. Glacial ice covers 15 million square kilometers (5.8 million square miles) — roughly a third of its extent during the peak of the Last Glacial Maximum (26,000 to 19,000 years ago), when ice sheets reached their most recent maximum.
The Antarctic is the largest and thickest ice structure on Earth by far, reaching up to 4.8 kilometres in depth (3 miles) and holding 90% of the world's ice volume. It accounts for around 85% of total global glacial ice and remains the planet's single largest source of fresh water. Spanning roughly 14 million square kilometers (5.4 million square miles), Antarctica covers about 9.3% of Earth's total land surface.
Overall, land covers only 29% of Earth's surface, while oceans cover 71% to an average depth of 3.7 kilometers (2.3 miles). Forests cover roughly 31% of land and the deserts 33%. Critically, the oceans hold roughly 86% of the active global carbon reservoir and 91% of retained heat energy; by contrast, the atmosphere holds a mere 1 to 2%.
For four decades, public policy has been driven by forecasts of soaring temperatures and runaway crisis. Yet these predictions are still only scenarios. In the real world, outside the newsroom narrative, planetary dynamics continue.
The Late Cenozoic Ice Age has endured for 34 million years, initiating the original glaciation of Antarctica. The primary drivers were tectonic shifts across interconnected continents. These crustal plate movements redirected ocean currents and fundamentally altered global thermal distribution.
Orbital anomalies — the Milankovitch cycles of eccentricity, tilt, and precession — combined with the thermal isolation of Antarctica as Australia and South America drifted northward, locked in these cool planetary conditions.
Modern human civilization and every major agricultural breakthrough developed entirely within the current Holocene interglacial, which began just 11,700 years ago.
I actually thought he had his cameras set up to watch his neighbours’ kids. His old strata made him take down, turn off or change the angle of his cameras when it became obvious what he was doing. Although the cameras disappeared from the balcony, he had just moved then inside but they still looked out. Some of the old meowers & kiwis noted the positions & view angles of the cameras when he would live stream.
Where do you go next? Being evicted after only 5 months? Truly the state of you and yours is pathetic.
Couldn't afford $1950 per month for that 2 bedroom? Was it the fake service dog? The ad said no pets. Or was it the multiple times per month the cops and ambulance came?
Duchess Bake Shop in Edmonton Alberta recently came under fire from the activist mob for a Harry Potter themed gingerbread house.
They removed the cake and issued a public apology to appease them instead of facing cancel culture.
My issue isn’t a business doing what it feels it needs to do to stay afloat. It’s their business. My issue is the comment section on their Instagram being full of radical activists saying they “did the right thing”.
