This planet has shrugged off glacial & interglacial periods, dinosaurs, asteroid hits, Big Extinctions & Little Extinctions. I'm sure it can shrug off Homo Saps

@RandysVinylTap Grew up on the Guess Who and you. My favourite is still Blue Collar. Seems to me you just let it out. Finally.

Suddenly all this floor crossing traffic is making sense.... HoC will need an upgrade at this rate. Probably be funded through the new Canadian Major Flooring Project Office

我最讨厌的就是那些外国人，来中国“旅游”几天，就觉得自己看懂了中国。点个外卖、刷刷拼多多、吃几顿饭、拍几张高楼大厦的照片，再被路人友好地拉去合个影，就敢大言不惭地说：“这就是真实的中国。”

你们根本没见过中国老百姓凌晨五点挤地铁赶去996工厂的样子，没见过35岁被优化后在招聘群里像狗一样投简历却石沉大海的绝望，没见过父母砸锅卖铁供孩子上培训班却换来一个“内卷”结果的眼泪，更没见过老人重病时一家人跪在医院走廊里为几十万手术费四处借钱、最终放弃治疗的崩溃。

你们不知道我们买房要掏空六个钱包、背三十年房贷，成了房奴还得感恩戴德；你们不知道小区物业勾结黑势力，业主想换个物业都能被威胁、被殴打、被起诉，最后只能忍气吞声；你们更不知道，当普通人遇到不公、想维权的时候，面对的是层层阻挠、被约谈、被喝茶、甚至被“寻衅滋事”。

你们只看到灯红酒绿的表象，只享受了低人权优势下的廉价服务、廉价劳动力、廉价消费，就敢站在道德制高点对中国指手画脚。
我恶心透了你们这种浅薄的“中国通”，然后发到 youtube为了博取流量！

真正的中国，不是你们镜头里那几栋会发光的玻璃幕墙，而是千千万万底层老百姓被压得喘不过气的血汗、被榨干的青春、被无视的尊严，以及一套在关键时刻永远不站在弱者一边的“法制”。

想评价中国？先把眼睛睁开，看看那些你们永远不会去住的小区、永远不会去排队的医院、永远不会去上的工厂流水线，去看看多少房奴依然还着贷款却无法居住的烂尾楼！

@unlearn16tweet @ABDanielleSmith Just a couple of questions. Apparently you don't teach in AB? (Then fuck-off)
So Smith's is an "Anti-Woke Agenda" ? Albertans support that.
How 'bout Parent Voucher System? U don't like it? WHY?
How 'bout "Right To Work" Legislation? U don't like it?
WHY?

@MarkRuffalo Just for the ratio. And you are a fucking hypocrite.

Walked into the storage room at the Western Standard offices and the cutout of Gilbeault scared the shit out of me when I turned the light on.

Have to hang a sheet over it or something.

Any informed parent dreads sending their kid to public school precisely because of her political principles which is the reigning curriculum.

[Barbara Kay @BarbaraRKay]

LMAO. Isn't that too perfect? So now we know what she thinks of public schools. Good enough for the ignorant peasants, but not for Our Precious Little Future Dear Leader...

@Martyupnorth I only see the side of Lethbridge that I deliver predominantly steel products to. Industrial North side, D&D Machine, Haul-All, Southland Trailers, Tradesman Mnfctg etc. No socialists among the blue-collar crowd.

"The science is settled."

They said that about lobotomies. Drilled into the skull, severed the frontal lobe, sent the patient home quieter. Twenty thousand performed in the US alone. The surgeon got a Nobel Prize.

They said it about radium. Sold in toothpaste. In face cream. In water tonics for "vitality." The factories that made it left a radioactive legacy that required federal cleanup eighty years later. The women who painted the watch dials were told to lick the brush to keep a fine point.

They said it about smoking during pregnancy. Doctors endorsed specific brands. Camel ran ads with physician testimonials. "More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette." The settled science of the 1940s.

They said it about mercury for syphilis. Rub it on the skin. Inhale the vapour. The cure was frequently worse than the disease. The disease, at least, took years. The mercury took weeks.

They said it about bloodletting. For two thousand years. Every major illness. Every fever. Every infection. Open the vein, release the corruption. George Washington was bled of roughly forty percent of his blood in twelve hours on his deathbed. By doctors. Who were certain.

They said it about margarine. Heart-healthy. Scientifically proven. Cardiologist-approved. The trans fat content was not discussed, because the people funding the studies were not in the business of discussing trans fat content.

They are now saying it about red meat. About saturated fat. About cholesterol. About the LDL hypothesis that has never survived a randomised controlled trial with all-cause mortality as the endpoint.

Settled science is where investigation stops.

It is also, reliably, where the funding starts.

For these people, Carney didn't exist until he became PM. Didn't run Bank of Canada from 08-13 (no economic woes then!) didn't screw up Brexit AND the Bank of England, was not responsible for Canada's COVID monetary fiasco and never met Puppet Trudeau II.

[Katewerk @katewerk]

Carney's been economic adviser since 2020. Globe and Mail, March 26th, Skippy.

@echipiuk @AmazingZoltan The mere fact that Canada has a federal party like this says everything you need to know about this country. 🤦‍♀️🥴

False media narratives have real-world consequences, often very severe ones. We have been fed endless propaganda portraying the 2014 “Maidan Revolution” in Kiev as a spontaneous uprising by peace- and democracy-loving Ukrainians, supposedly butchered by evil Russian-backed snipers. In reality, it was a false flag. Everything that followed, from the ouster of the democratically elected president, to the attacks on Russian-speaking regions in Eastern Ukraine, to Russia’s 2022 invasion, can be traced back not only to that false flag, but even more importantly to the relentless pounding of that false narrative until everyone simply accepted it without question.

[Rick Henwood @wehauler]

@BarbaraRKay Very disingenuous. No athlete is excluded. Just WTF is a "rights-respecting sporting system." Does it include women's rights?
