  1. There is a problem with the "But not us, we're the *good* USAnians" [1] that #Canadians have been hearing frequently since Trump assumed his would-be throne for his second administration.

    Most of the people referring to themselves this way define it as "We didn't vote for #Trump". But that isn't enough to make you "good". From the day he took power, he has been #threatening, #insulting, #bullying, and denigrating Canada, in addition to threatening #NATO, cozying up to Putin, starting wars, murdering fishermen, trying to destroy the International Criminal Court, making brown people illegal, suppressing women and Democrats, and a thousand other things.

    The "We didn't #vote for him" people, for the most part, aren't doing anything about any of that. The truly good #USAnians are in the streets fighting ICE, suing the administration over his #trade wars, protesting *all the time*. Waiting until November to cast a #ballot is insufficient.

    To be "good", you need to be stopping him, or at least attempting to do so. When there are a million people #protesting in the streets around the White House and the Capitol *every day until the midterms*, those people will be the "good USAnians".

    #Silence is #consent / #agreement with his #Nazi agenda.

    [1] They call themselves " #Americans" for some reason, despite the #USA being only 24.5% of the area of the Americas, or 45.1% of North America (less than #Canada).

    Now with tariff bonkerdom, that no long makes sense. The US wants to crush #Canada economically and #Canadians have to say: sorry you voted for all this mess, US. But we are not on board for your fuckery.

  17. @cbcnews @calgary-cbcnews For context - for 20 years Tim Hodgson worked in New York, London, Silicon Valley and Toronto with Goldman Sachs and served as CEO of Goldman Sachs Canada from 2005 to 2010. He worked with Mark Carney at Goldman Sachs and joined the Bank of Canada as special adviser to him in 2010, when Carney was governor. He was board member for Calgary-based #oilsands producer MEG Energy from 2016 to 2019. He doesn't work for #Canadians.

    🇨🇦 While it provides user choice and data control, challenges like funding, user adoption, and content moderation persist.

    🚀 Despite these hurdles, proponents believe the Fediverse’s open-source nature and potential for user empowerment make it a worthwhile endeavour.

  20. Just read an article in the Los Angeles Times about hospital #ER wait times...

    > Loma Linda University Medical Center ranked third in the country for how long
    > its patients typically spent at the emergency department, with a median time of
    > nearly seven hours, based on federal data.

    #Canadians are now picking themselves up off the floor, #laughing.

    Here in #Saskatchewan, the literal birthplace of #medicare, we would be absolutely THRILLED if ER wait times averaged "nearly seven hours". Twelve hours is more typical. And that less-than-seven-hours counts as third-worst in the #USA?

  22. Who is in charge of consumer refuse "recycling" in many parts of #canada, including my town in #NewBrunswick?

    Why it's none other than executives from many of the enormous conglomerates that create & distribute all the plastic packaging in the first place!

    No matter how many times I email them asking, they will not reveal what they're doing with all that collected plastic they're going to "recycle".

    We already know that the vast majority of plastic to be recycled never is: it finds its way to places like #india:

    cbc.ca/documentaries/the-passi

    But at the same time #cbc is perfectly happy to pretend along with the "big lie" they've uncovered by refusing to use any critical thinking when covering local implementations of these projects:

    cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswi

    Sure, *our* landfill may have less shit in it, but it had to go *somewhere*, and that somewhere is NOT back into "the circular economy". It goes to pollute some distant shore, to affect some distant population, to ruin the lives of others. It's RACISM.

    Pats on the back and kudos all around to us *resourceful #Canadians*.
