  3. We’ve gone from presumptive coverage to health insurance expiries in five years.

    Don’t tell me elections and votes don’t matter.

  5. Genuinely curious if the Carney 4D Chess folks are still confident that this whole pipeline deal is an elaborate ruse to placate the separatists, or…? 🤔

  11. Progressives, *real* progressives are on the ascent in America. Canada's politics very often mimic America's. This is *entirely* where the energy is for all but the far right. Figure it out or fade away. #cdnpoli #abpoli

  13. No further updates yet this morning but this CBC article has good details on the initial attack yesterday evening. Two residents were evacuated immediately by firefighters, the rest are on alert.

    The fire is near BC Hydro high voltage transmission lines so the wildfire crews were not able to start on the ground until BCH shut down those lines. Until then, helicopters bucketed the fire.

    Wind conditions were also favourable.

    Hopefully they’ll have it under control today if the weather continues to cooperate. The CBC article includes a map that shows the fire in relation to downtown Vancouver, but doesn’t point out the location of the Burnaby oil terminal even though it is almost exactly halfway between the two.

  15. Mark Carney: I don’t care about Climate Change, I’m building another oil pipeline to Burnaby. Canada Strong!

    Mother Nature: How strong exactly? Hold my beer.

    (A wildfire has broken out on the north side of Burrard Inlet, about 7km northeast of the Burnaby oil terminal, the terminus of the Transmountain Pipeline. It is currently 1.5ha and out of control but updates often come slowly on the web. News reports are that a few homes have been “tactically evacuated” and more evacuations may come according to Metro Vancouver government.)

  17. This is so incredibly good it deserves to be reproduced in full: 😆 🔥 😆

    “Carney pointed to a map of North America, half of which had been accurately but artistically burned away.

    “It is our intention for the pipeline to cross over Saskatchewan and British Columbia, but if they prove too charred already then I plan to divert the pipeline and profits through the Northern states, as part of my next round of capitulations to Trump in CUSMA negotiations.”

    Danielle Smith, smiling so wide that many in the audience naturally assumed she was thinking about forcing trans children to dig the pipeline infrastructure themselves, stated that she fully supported the project being moved up before her province was so full of smoke it couldn’t exist anymore.

    “This is a great day for Albertans, and none of the rest of you traitorous fucks,” Smith stated, flipping off any reporter who looked like they were from east of her province. “The sooner this gets done, the sooner I can start looking for new ways to hurt endangered wildlife and complain about how no one ever gives Alberta anything.”

  19. Adult low literacy levels scares the crap out of me BECAUSE the Alberta October referendum questions are intentionally written in fairly high level vocabulary which requires a fairly high level of actual comprehension.

    Currently, there are no rules or directions for referendum workers with regards to voters asking for help with reading and/or comprehension.

    Scares the crap out of me.
