Fighting dystopia grimly, but with hope
HomeNanaimo, Canada

I know Carney wants to flip the narrative, that Canada will help make the US 'great again' - he thinks that's a winning argument with the EU, Asia etc.

Fuck that, let them wither, die, - we move on, do our own thing.... read the room Prime Minister, we've gone from indifference, to slightly scared, to openly hostile - just look at the border traffic

Get with the zeitgeist, or move on

So sick and tired of this, has to be stopped - decent weather and all the no muffler motorbikes, jacked up trucks and super cars are blithely racing around making noise

It's not just annoying, but dangerous. I could not hear an ambulance with sirens approaching behind me because 2 idiots on Harleys were mass revving engines at a stop light - also, they did not get out of the way

Needs to be a mass provincial intervention - huge fines, driver suspensions, vehicles crushed

So $1.49 day at Save-On foods is anything but - signs all over the produce and meat sections, but nothing actually priced that level (except by weight), and we know how grocers have been scamming Canadians for decades over that

False advertising in the open, and they get away with it because most politicians either don't give a shit or are actively seeking their donations

Break the monopolies

Alberta MAGAs are delusional shits - door hanger in Calgary

Same fascist asshats funding the Dallas Brodie types in BC

Are you a Canadian resident or citizen and would like to participate in a weather related e-petition?

The government is cutting parts of Environment and Climate Change Canada, including radar, radio, and other services.

I need at least 5 'supporters' to get the e-petition started so it can be opened for signers.

Shoot me a DM with your name and a contact email!

Partial text (up to 1500 char limit) is in the alt-text.

Staggering dip in US tourism is a troubling sign for the future

With the exception of the Covid-19 pandemic, 2025 saw the biggest drop in foreign visitors to the US in two decades due, in part, to presidential rhetoric and policies. The full cost of this downturn goes beyond mere service industry woes.

CNN

This is a gross, blatantly racist hate crime - truly hope the perpetrators are outed, and charged

And betting whoever it is has direct and influential connections with the BC Cons and Dallas Brodie types

B.C. First Nation decries fake letter being distributed to property owners

poli types simply don't know what is about to hit them over the false promises of AI, and what data centers will do to destroy communities, water, energy

We are awake, and hate this shit

Protesters rally against planned AI data centres in Vancouver | CBC News

Hundreds of people marched through Vancouver on Saturday to protest two planned AI data centres in the city, raising concerns about the amount of water and energy such facilities can use as the region faces tighter water restrictions.

CBC

PM Carney, Premier Eby, all in on AI, and the powers that be want O&G to power them - they DO NOT create jobs, or community, or services, they create chaos and damage

Meanwhile Australia states are giving away free renewable energy to customers, hours per day due to over supply - France, Spain, Denmark making money off solar and wind

We are so last century
