Maybe Sophie will marry PP.
So in Alberta, we have a complete and absolute moratorium on green energy projects because they harm the beauty of Alberta. We also have a tax on electric vehicles because the government requires you to pay recompense to the holy oil sands for refusing their gift.
I can't wait for the Holy Republic of Alberta's state religion to proclaim the oil sands the body of Christ and the pure garbage bitumen as his blood. You only get into heaven based on the quantity of His Gift you've consumed through your life. Solar power is worshipping a false sun god and is punishable via monetary restitution to Her (Danielle Smith) Holy Church.

I saw this the other day. Was it on this forum? I forget. But I don't have time to stop and check
Fort MacMurray, the hub for the oilsands in this province, has had the nickname Mordor for decades, because that's what the whole area looks like. There's also the glistening tailing lakes (they're called ponds, but they're bigger than some actual named lakes), so toxic they have to shoot at passing birds to scare them from landing in it.
Only 60 days?!? Oh, you sweet summer country... *cries in US politics*
They get some latitude on the first one as there hasn't been proof of graves, only anomalies in the ground so far which could or could not be graves. The second is gross.
New online Harms bill being rushed through Ottawa is a problematic peice of legislation that will be abused by anyone looking to remove a political rival.
Offence motivated by hatred
(1) Everyone who commits an offence under this Act or any other Act of Parliament, if the commission of the offence is motivated by hatred based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life"
It doesn't even matter what the underlying crime is. If they can toss "motivated by hatred" at you during the charging process, wham! life imprisonment is on the table.
That provision alone should see the bill completely spiked, but, of course, this Parliament is beyond stupid so it'll likely sail through.
Is calling parliament stupid a hatred based offense related to mental disability?

Only if somebody with the favour of the courts deems it so. Think this is more in response to the f Trudeau merch and sentiment.
But as somebody who voted lib in the last two elections, I'm increasingly supporting that sentiment and would love to see a party I can vote for with pride instead of the poorest choices I've ever seen in my life.
Halifax has an election coming up to vote in a new mayor. It seems like Andy Fillmore is set to win, based on most polls. Personally, I'm voting for Waye Mason, who seems to share most of my ideals.
The local cycling advocacy group sent a survey out to all the mayoral candidates, and for each district candidate.
It's kind of funny how most of the candidates are showing support for the cycling community in one way or another, and then there's Greg Frampton doing the big combo breaker, who's like "NOPE, FUCK YOU, CYCLISTS!"
Personally, I'm in District 5 and intend on voting for Sam Austin. The other guy share some of my ideals, but he's an overreactive asshole on social media. I would not want someone with a short fuse like that to represent me.

HRM 2024 ELECTIONCandidate Survey On September 21, we sent a set of five questions to all declared candidates in the 2024 HRM election. Using the email addresses that HRM published, we sent it to 77 in total. Two reminders were sent. We received 52 responses, a return rate of 68%. All five...

Ah, so he's THAT kind of person. Duly noted, though not surprising.
Over on Twitter, I responded to an anti-cycling comment made by Greg Frampton. I guess he didn't take kindly to my response.
I think my other reply is what triggered the block. I've never been blocked by a mayoral candidate before. Achievement unlocked!
Large screenshots, so under the spoiler tag they go!
