Doug Ford used a 40% vote share to win a majority, exempt himself from Freedom of Information rules, and preside over major spending scandals while healthcare, education, and housing declined. If he says that system works, that’s exactly why we need proportional representation.

Canada exports more petroleum products than we import. Yet we're facing increasing costs at the pump, and fuel surcharges at airlines and deliveries.

Its almost as if the market is setup to maximize profit and not serve Canadians?

Kazakhstan has a variable gas export tax 0% to 32% determined by market value of the exported crude oil or gas

Record high production and exports: Refined petroleum products year in review, 2024 - Statistics Canada

In 2024, the Canadian refined petroleum products sector continued to adapt to the evolving global energy and geopolitical dynamics. Bolstered by strong production and increased demand from foreign markets, refined petroleum products reached new highs for both production and exports.

Conservative MP Aaron Gunn is a keynote speaker. "Gunn found himself in hot water for resurfaced social media posts denying that Canada participated in a genocide against Indigenous Peoples.

How a conservative U.S. network undermined Indigenous energy rights in Canada | The Narwhal

Atlas Network documents show it partnered with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute to push oil and gas interests and for UNDRIP to be ‘defeated’

America's leading foreign influence organization is holding a conference in Vancouver

"CSFN Vancouver: “Conservatism’s New Frontier”

Organized by 'Canada' Strong and Free that purports to represent Canadians, but this is merely one of ~500 American Atlas Network operatives.

The keynote speaker Gordon Campbell
Senior Fellow, Fraser Institute

Fraser Institute is yet another Atlas Network operative.

These orgs present themselves as "independent experts" but merely seek engagement from the pathetically naive and willfully ignorant.

Who in BC and Canada is willing to believe them?

Humanwords.cc used, Sharkey, a variant of MissKey Fedi,

Sharkey had some nice tools, its Magnet search tools held potential, and its user summary were very nice,

But, it didn't allow following hash tags well, (when used within a magnet) and the web interface on mobile was very awkward to use.
