Last night, @ParkBoard did the right thing. Apologized to TGD2S community after emotional discussion. Shared some tears. Disavowed JKR. Will undertake concrete actions to rebuild trust. x.com/vangreens/stat…
"I don't think we should have to prove to anybody what happened to these [dead children at Kamloops] because they are there and they send us messages telling us they're there...[@tkemlups] Chief Casimir and I went to visit the sacred site. You can tell they're there, right?"
I was opposed to the convoy blockades, so read this piece with an open mind. What a mistake. Total slop. Repeats the completely debunked claim that convoy activists attempted arson in an Ottawa high rise apartment building. With huge government subsidies, foundation money, and charitable status, why can’t @thewalrus afford a fact checker? The whole piece reflects the cartoonish smugness of the left, basically stating (without even attempting to make a coherent argument) that the right is monolithically in the service of elite corporate interests, and the left is the heroic champion of working people. The truth is that the more extreme elements of the convoy movement resembled a kind of right wing anarchism, i.e. a profound distrust of and hostility to institutions and elites, including corporate elites, with a desire to tear it all down. The notion that the Convoy movement was somehow in the service of big corporate interests is obviously risible. Ironically, this sophomoric leftism is being published by a magazine that is funded by @TD_Canada, inter alia, a perfect example of corporate wokism as described in Sohrab Amari’s Tyranny, Inc.

For progressives, the fight against the Freedom Convoy wasn’t only about ending an occupation but about preventing the far right from defining working-class anger. Labour activist @AlexSilasPSAC examines who benefits when solidarity breaks down. thewalrus.ca/how-i-faced-of…
So the story here is that last night, there was a mass murder plot in an Ottawa apt building, with one of the would-be killers telling a passer-by (for no apparent reason) he was a protestor. But no one calls 911, & Ottawa arson's unit finds out about it on twitter a day later.
🚨Breaking - Team USA has been using a male athlete on the "Women's" U20 Team at the 2026 World Junior Ultimate Championships in Logrono Spain. Leo "Nora" Luloff has been a key player for Team USA and has even been described as the best women's player in the country. While the USA "women's" team lost their semi-final matchup against Italy, they will play tomorrow in the consolation rounds of the tournament.
