She’s risking the economic and psychological well-being of the province — the unity and sovereignty of the entire nation, potentially — on a gamble to keep her own fractious party together.
I’m not even kidding, here. She’s said this explicitly.
She’s gambling on the hope that the people of Alberta will see sense where she has not.
We are excited to share that we are beginning work on a new onboarding experiment for #Mastodon: Default Server Recommendations.
Our intent for this experiment is to recommend the closest server geographically that is in the correct language during the sign-up flow. We will be running this experiment on our iOS and Android apps only to start.

@pluralistic Hi, we are a group of parents in Vancouver that are trying to push back against local school board plans to deploy Microsoft Copilot into classrooms.
We have started a petition to show that parents are concerned and do not consent to their children using genAI in classrooms.
It would help so much if you could share it.

Regime change in Afghanistan to remove the Taliban resulted in the return of the Taliban
Regime change in Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein resulted in the rise of Daesh (ISIS)
Regime change in Libya to remove Ghadaffi resulted in chaos and a decade plus of civil war
Each showed images of locals celebrating. Each ended in tragedy.
Violent regime change does not work. It never has. Because it is driven by oil and profit, not people and principles.
