Little updated for everyone since this has changed since February. The price of electricity in Alberta has gone UP in the last month. On the odd chance anyone wants to know how much cheaper solar would be.

US: Bird flu has been spreading for around two months on a Utah mink farm holding thousands of animals. None have been culled, workers aren't being monitored, and the USDA says it doesn't regulate mink. So thousands of animals are exposed, workers could be at risk, and nobody seems to be taking responsibility.

I can’t believe Abdul El-Sayed would accept a $400 million jet from the largest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Oh, wait. That was Donald Trump.

🚨 BREAKING:
Obama: "I spent 8 years cleaning up the mess Republicans left me, then handed it to Trump. 75 straight months of job growth. All he did was give tax cuts to people who don't need them, increasing the deficit, and now he wants to do it again."

They did.

They did.
2024: “Stop overreacting, they won’t arrest women for miscarriages.”
They did.

They did.
2026: “Stop overreacting, they won’t attack mifepristone.”
They did, today.
Now: “Stop overreacting, they won’t go after birth control next.”
They will.

This is a coup attempt. They’re turning off traffic lights and canceling bus routes and flights and ferries on election day. The world needs to be paying attention

Benjamin Moser, author of Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, told Rashid Khalidi that his 80-year-old mother, who had all but called him a Hamas member, apologized after reading his book: “I’m ashamed I ever said I was a Zionist.”
His book traces Jewish opposition to Zionism over the past century and challenges their exclusion in discussions over Palestine. “No, you don’t get to set the rules anymore. We’re setting the rules now,” Moser said.
Khalidi added that he had never seen so many people change their views so rapidly, noting that major publishers are now embracing books on Palestine that would have been virtually unpublishable just three or four years ago.

🇺🇸 Pete Hegseth just got absolutely humiliated by Senator Tammy Duckworth!
Senator Tammy Duckworth, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who lost both legs while serving in Iraq, challenged Hegseth:
"I'm glad you brought that up. Can you name a single country that belongs to ASEAN and explain what agreement we have with it? And, by the way, how many countries are in ASEAN? Frankly, I'm not sure you even know who our allies are."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth:
"Well, I can't give you the exact number, but I certainly know our allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia..."
Senator Duckworth:
"None of the countries you just mentioned are members of ASEAN. I suggest you do your homework before engaging in these discussions."
And this is the kind of clueless bullshit running the Pentagon. Absolutely unbelievable.

Ironic that MLANeudorf (Leth E)announces a Prov. Integrated Operations Centre to coordinate hospital resources, after govt spent millions breaking up integrated system. Chinook Reg. Hosp. has been over capacity for months, so look forward to seeing how he will pull off this plan.

Across Brazil there is widespread disruption to public transport to keep Lula supporters from getting to polling stations.
URGENTE - A prefeitura de São Paulo mantém 29% da frota de ônibus municipais estaciona nas garagens neste momento.
Justiça já tinha mandado, ontem, ter 100% da frota na rua. Está sendo descumprindo

Why do Albertans need to pre-order their covid vaccine a year in advance?
Why is the Alberta government not covering the cost of flu vaccinations?
The Fort Mac ER has 6 hours wait times because there isn't enough space in the ER.

BREAKING: Pentagon prepares every major US military base to operate for at least 90 days without outside electricity, fuel, water or supplies, anticipating a major war that could cripple power grids, break global supply chains and threaten critical infrastructure on US soil, per Fox News.
The plans include portable nuclear reactors, large-scale battery storage and microgrids able to disconnect installations from the civilian electrical grid entirely.

Jewish history in Palestine does not grant any "rights", Ben.
And, look up "indigenous" in any dictionary.
Indigenous people are the people living in a place when outside colonizers come and push them aside, kill them, destroy their society. Jews have long history in Palestine, but are not "indigenous" there.
Why do you have such an obsession with Jews? I actually don't get it. I wish you'd stop already. You're giving us a bad name.
I was standing in a room full of Jews who constantly have the indigenous and historical rights of the Jewish people to that land called into question. Unless your conception of respect for indigenous rights to their land is selective, and only applies to certain people and in certain cases, surely you have no problem with this. But you couldn’t possibly be that type of person, right?
