Dad jokes are in my union contract.
Kevin RussellThis is a Graph of Hectares burned, compared to (blue) Canada's worst "Fire Seasons"- all recent, and all of them bad enough the US funded Canadian right wing "think tank" Fraser Institute thought it was necessary to write that "they aren't climate caused and everything is fine, no climate here, move along"
This is a CBC NEWS graph they have been updating daily.
When it first was published it only went to 7. They added 8 later 9, now today its 10 million Hectares tall.

Canada's wildfires: Where they are, how much has burned and how it's changing air quality | CBC News
The summer of 2023 is shaping up to be the worst wildfire season in recent years. We're tracking where all the fires are in Canada, how much land has been consumed and how these fires are affecting air quality.
As bad as it already was, I'd like to at least go back to the era of the Simpsons predicting everything, instead of Black Mirror
RoI'm not a centrist.
I don't believe there are legitimate 'two sides' to the moderation and safety debate.
There are people who believe in safety, and there are those who will not respect the agency and boundaries of people they dislike and try to harm them because of it.
There is no 'middle ground' when it comes to respecting the autonomy and boundaries of another person. I am not 'negotiating' how much harm is acceptable.
If your version of 'fairness' requires marginalized and targeted communities to be 'reasonable' and 'understanding' of places that cause harm, you're in the wrong place.

SPQRStephen Harper was an autocrat who was contemptuous of liberal democracy, constitutional government, and open society. He was the most corrupt PM Canada ever had. He divided the country along multiple axes. Corporatism, illiberal reactionary governance, and disdain for transparency was his Modus Operandi.
