In the aftermath of yesterday's horrific shooting, we must resist the spread of misinformation and the narratives that divide and harm us. https://t.co/7F0YXXYE4D National Post: Trans people are less than one tenth of one per cent of mass shooters, vast majority are cis men
This is not a time to let ideology run rampant; this is a time to find strength in unity and answers in provable facts. Calling all leaders to reject mis/disinformation and act from a place of principle. My statement: https://t.co/faYWAPwP5q #bcpoli
Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.)
John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where “welcomed rape” is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid’s Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.
@bchydro Hi, the power just went out a few minutes ago in Riley Park in Vancouver (specifically Fraser & 31st Ave). Is there planned maintenance or ? Any details appreciated.
Simply as human beings we are the same. And the 8 billion people alive today will only survive by acknowledging that we belong to one human family. This is how we create a truly peaceful world—by keeping in mind what we all have in common and being helpful to each other. This can be our #PeaceDayChallenge
