Canadians used to carry defensive firearms in bear country. Our government took that away... and now people are dying.

A black bear mauled a couple to death at their remote cabin at McTavish Lake. Another killed a uranium exploration worker at Norbye Lake. In Nipigon, Ontario a bear came right into a couple's home and attacked them inside.

Attacks are up across Canada, black bears and grizzlies both, while park and backcountry traffic has fallen since Covid. So spare me the sermons about human encroachment.

Read Trish Wood's article. She explains what these animals do when they attack...

"Bears do go for the face and jaw - even with each other because the wounds can be so disabling. A jawless brown bear can’t do much damage to an aggressive challenger. They approach human invaders with the same tactical moves as they do other bears. Head, face, neck."

A predator with the instinct to take your jaw first - and Ottawa says your answer is a can of pepper spray at arm's length.

Empty cans of bear spray at a fatal attack. That is what forced disarmament looks like on dangerous ground.

My grandfather never went into the bush without his Model 94 Winchester in .30-30. My father kept his .308 carbine close. I carried a Smith & Wesson .357... legal only because my badge was in my pocket.

Our masters in Ottawa decided ordinary Canadians can't be trusted with the defensive tools every generation before us carried.

Canadians who could have defended themselves are dying because they have been disarmed.

Excellent, in depth article by @WoodReporting. Well worth your time...

@77_steeze @feelsdesperate True but suburbans always lose arguments for their lack of over-socialization. Although one feels like the internet has democratized the “hermeneutics of suspicion”, causing no end of panic for the old intelligentsia.

@77_steeze @tommasodi_di Hunky Dory cd was in the mini-van, played weeks (months?) on end dropping kids off at school. It’s either scattershot efforts at greatness that don’t add up, or a synthesized though highly eclectic whole. Enough listens (great hooks, wild ideas) placed it in the latter for me.

ALARMING: Teen drenched in glyphosate develops “massive alien” tumor — one of the worst cases of Hodgkin lymphoma doctors had ever seen

17-year-old Arden Allison was completely soaked in Roundup while spraying weeds on cell towers. No protective gear. Months later: rapid weight loss, swelling where the chemical hit, then Stage 1 Hodgkin lymphoma that exploded to Stage 4 in just 3 weeks.

Doctors called it one of the worst cases they’d ever seen and said he probably wouldn’t make it. Seven years of brutal chemo, resistance, and a stem-cell transplant followed.

He’s cancer-free today — and demanding we get this poison out of our food supply.

[Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️ @StephenPunwasi]

Fun fact: in 🇨🇦 + 🇺🇸, ~80% of grain-based foods have glyphosate.

It’s largely considered safe due to a study in 2000 that found it caused no DNA damage, reproductive harm or cancer.

It was recently retracted. Turns out it was ghostwritten by Monsanto.

An all-time banger of a poem by the great Seamus Heaney. Stop scrolling; take your time with it.

[Richard Morris @ahistoryinart]

'Walls and Fields, Halifax,' (1928) was painted from Stanley Spencer's brother-in-law George Carline's house in Warley, a village on the outskirts of Halifax in Yorkshire. Despite the work's accuracy, Spencer wrote that he had no wish to fully replicate what was in front of him.

Artist Jessica Cook was spotted in Brooklyn presenting her latest artwork. The event sold out.

Covid revealed two very different understandings of the words “we” and “us”; of the notion of society and the collective. For one group the understanding is rooted in custom, memory etc. while for the other it has an arbitrary nature, to be determined by authority and/or “consensus”.

[Jonathan Sturel @JonathanSturel]

Certains veulent absolument oublier l'épisode covid.

Soit parce qu'ils s'y trouvaient du côté des fous et préféreraient que cela soit effacé de la mémoire des gens, soit parce qu'ils ont subi cette folie et veulent tourner la page pour n'y plus penser et refermer ce traumatisme.

Chacun a ses raisons de ne plus vouloir entendre parler de l'épisode covid qui a été, je le maintiens, l'un des épisodes de folie collective les plus manifestes de l'histoire récente.

Je continue de penser qu'il y a un avant et un après covid. Le monde, les gens, les choses, plus rien n'est pareil depuis ces événements. On dirait que plus personne n'ose bouger une oreille exactement comme si chacun était tétanisé par l'expérience autoritaire de la folie covidique. Des gens qui ont vu des gendarmes équipés comme dans une guerre faire évacuer des terrasses de café ou des plages se sont mis en tête, inconsciemment d'ailleurs, qu'un système capable de déployer de telles mesures contre des menaces aussi dérisoires en déploiera forcément des plus violentes encore contre quiconque osera sortir un peu du cadre sur ces sujets plus sérieux.

Et même au-delà de ces réflexes limbiques de conditionnement et de tétanie post-traumatiques, il y a aussi que l'expérience autoritaire du covid, par la stupidité de ses méthodes, par l'incongruité véritablement kafkaïenne de ses décisions, par l'hystérie brutale des comportements politiques en règle générale, par l'absurdité, la crétinerie, par l'invraisemblable démesure de tout ce qui a été mis en place, a fait passer la société dans un autre modèle où tout est réévalué, modifié, où tous les repères et notamment tout ce que nous prenions pour solide et acquis s'est écroulé sous nos yeux en quelques semaines seulement.

Chacun sait depuis le covid que nous sommes entourés de gens normaux capables de devenir dingues du jour au lendemain. Que les flics obéiront à n'importe quel ordre y compris le plus surréaliste et bête qui soit.

Ne trouvez-vous pas que depuis cette séquence absolument tout est devenu dingue ? les gens sont plus cinglés qu'avant, les idées défendues de plus en plus absurdes, les revendications de plus en plus lunaires. J'ai l'impression d'être entouré de maboules en roue libre, au quotidien.

Encore aujourd'hui il m'arrive de repenser à la folie collective covidique en peinant toujours à réaliser que ces choses ont vraiment eu lieu. Que nous avons vraiment vu ça, vécu ça. Je ne me remets pas d'avoir vu Jean Castex nous dire que l'on pouvait boire son café assis mais pas debout dans les bars, à cause du virus.

Tant de mal a été fait dont nous n'avons pas fini de payer le prix. Quel désastre, quand on y pense.

@ZaidJilani You are correct but this is a before and not an after. But since they don’t want to appear “managerial” & seem to need blue-collar authenticity, here we are.

[Welpanshauung @gazpromqueen]

@Nature_Boy03 @AD_smalls @AlexThomp Economists and oncologists don’t trade in authenticity, which politics—especially of the populist type—has become about… Whereas “bitter rich guy” worked for Trump in a way it does not for DSA types.

@duncanreyburn You’d change your tune if only she could nail that under-the-leg move.

[Glenn Diesen @Glenn_Diesen]

Not that long ago, everyone had to repeat the mantra that Russia destroying its own pipeline was part of the “Russian playbook.” Anyone who disagreed by suggesting we use common sense was denounced as carrying water for Putin. Our societies would be less radical and gung-ho about war if we could have honest and open debates about the Russiagate hoax, NATO expansionism, and the costs of not allowing dissent.
