    Yesssss!

    I'm looking for a 25% wealth tax/year on families worth more than $200m, dropping to 5% when they're down to $78m.

    California is pondering a 1-time 5% tax on families worth us$1.1b. 60% of NY residents (not just NYC) favour free, universal childcare until pre-K, with an explicit tax on the rich to fund it.

    So, I want wayyy more, to end the 1%.

    "The world would be a much better place if everyone understood that manipulators do not use language the same way normal people do. Normal people use language to communicate and connect, while manipulative people use language to control and extract." - #CaitlinJohnstone

    This explains soooooooo much!

    The c/a/n/a/d/a project is a filthy vile neocolonial resource extraction wild west of billionaires and their political compradors.

    We do NOT want actual reconciliation; we skipped the truth part of the #TRC

    “Reconciliation is often depoliticized by reducing it to a set of box-checking activities. But that really misses the mark in terms of what reconciliation means.”

    Social stigma stokes stubbornness.

    And people die.

    Reach out to your people, with love and empathy.

    Too many people lack loving people in their corner, but it's only because we don't make ourselves known.

    Also, mental health supports should be free, in #Medicare.

    Yes, because the #economy exists to respectfully and intelligently serve human people, and steward our land not as our possession, but our sustainer.

    We are but butlers of this world, rapers and pillagers

  8. That was a long run! I pushed harder than expected. I ran across Burnaby, from west to east, and finished in the corner of New Westminster, at Braid Station. My feet are sore after almost 15 km!

    I’ve personally witnessed this #Liberal government spraying #Roundup herbicide only a few metres from Brunette Creek (a protected waterway) which leads to a local wetlands area here at the #TMX terminus in #Burnaby.

    After installing the TMX expansion, they noticed the Japanese Knotweed over growing the area, threatening their new pipeline.

    Their “solution” has been to attack the local ecosystem to protect their pipeline at all costs to the environment.

    I have no doubt the removal of pesticide regulations is in part connected to #MarkCarney clearing the way for new “National Interest” projects forced through inhospitable areas.

    Environmental Regulations aren’t respected as protective guardrails by this Liberal Government, they are only regarded as barriers to success in ramming through environmentally destructive projects.

    Removing these regulations only benefits big business interests and offloads the resulting cost on local communities.

  10. @thetyee so Liberals in BC will continue to overrun the bcndp, which will make it a solid right wing party.

    Then sooooo many currently in the bcndp will realize that the BC Greens are the ecosocialist party they thought they were supporting in the bcndp. And move.

  12. The Light We Cannot See (2022)

    Taken on a brisk and cold morning in February, I managed to catch the first moments as the sunlight lit the tops of the trees during sunrise, leaving the rest of the landscape a blue from the cold frosting of the evening.

  13. Let’s Get Cooking: Potato and garlic scape salad

    Karen Curtis is a Freshet News food columnist.   By Karen Curtis It seems like every other week there is something new at the farmers market that is my favourite. One week its new greens, the next its asparagus, then strawberries, then new potatoes and garlic scapes. I can’t think of …

    BC's government over 20 years ago, ran their own racist indigenous rights referendum. The Attorney General was even a lawyer and he never even got disbarred.

    It was a vile piece of shit. Various threads of horrific racism in the c/a/n/a/d/a project in the last decade are all evolutions of that horrible referendum, and other things, in the past.

    I just received a water restriction notice for the #MetroVancouver area.

    I am now prohibited from even filling a bird bath yet Mark Carney is currently pushing for water guzzling AI Data Centers in Vancouver.

    With climate warming, our community also deals with brownouts every summer. Where are Carney and #Telus going to get the power and water to run these unnecessary, resource heavy monstrosities?

    Wowwwww, the racist right wing fascist political set truly does think the public is stupid.

    I even know who this fucker is. How does a nationally-celebrated bigot like her NOT know who this scumbag is?

    Fuck right off, with that bullshit.
