down the Xitter it all went

Autocorrect.

As always:

Follow the Money

Doing just what you’re paid for and not one bit more is called “Work to Rule” and it’s just total bullshit that it’s an effective labour tactic of resistance, because it implies that exploitation is part of the expectation in capitalism.

People want to do a good job and employers milk that.

My daughter, who is kind of broke and physically disabled and a student, just told me she feels wealthy because of the social connections she has: good friends from childhood, new friends from school, and a cohousing community that she’s staying at that has kind of adopted her as an honourary member, plus all kinds of our old family friends who she’s social with and trusts.

She gets it. In the end it’s how well you loved as much as how fine you lived.

Yup, dude even gets disappeared just for being in the wrong street at the wrong time.

Get ready for the new Underground Railroad eh.

this has “with us or against us “ energy

There is very little ’Alberta’ that is left over after you map out Treaty lands and Crown land.

The Treaties are older than AB and take precedence.

Such a prescient episode.

yes I Am Canadian, bud

Au contraire, the rage-perp needs to stop at the third beer, and definitely would benefit from a couple of bong hits and an hour of introspection.

Our conservative movement didn’t die out, they got more votes this time than the last few times and the popular vote was split down the middle.

We have more right wing media than centrist or neutral or left wing combined, and much of it is USA owned.

This all happened at the expense of the moderate left and the extreme right. If we don’t ditch our first past the post electoral system we risk Americanized politics.

This is true, though the declaration being avoided is a wider set than just terrorism.

When I say skew I am not implying intent to mislead, just that paranoid interpretations by readers are kind of inevitable in such a situation.

While I agree that it skews the narrative, it’s likely that media at early stages of the story use passive language like that to leave open the possibility of various causes, such as mechanical malfunction or even an algorithmic failure.

This is the kind of uninformed bile that bots and provocateurs use, might want to rethink that readyfireaim joke.

No. East Asian looking male with a history of mental illness.

Most likely the political component of this tragedy is how the Socreds closed regional mental health institutions in the late 20th C, and subsequent governments just swept the whole thing under the rug while homelessness spread through the province and mentally disturbed and unsupported people lashed out in random ways.

Now you have dorks and bootlickers like Mayor Sims turning a health system failure into an opportunity for cruelty and repression. Punishment will be the talking point. They will roll with that, watch.

So “I’d hit that” means in 300 years we’ll say hit instead of fuck?

A drunk and his goons just took over your bus and it’s headed right for a school, I get it, you didn’t do it! …even though everyone saw them standing on the curb with tommyguns and shitty fedoras before they boarded, but OK.

Whatever happens from this point on is entirely on you and yours, now, though. History is watching.

Just a reminder to non-canadians that a core part of Canadian identity has always been not being American. It’s a quasi-colonized pov. Make it real and it will be life-or-death for many many folk.
