polling isn't "News" - its multi-level manipulation and it has degraded our public discourse and limited our political imaginations.

Liberal Statement from MP Lori Idlout Today, the Liberal Party issued the following statement from Lori Idlout, Member of Parliament for Nunavut: "Nunavut and the North are central to Canada's future, and the rights and aspirations of Indigenous peoples must be at the heart of Canada's democracy. I have devoted my life to this essential challenge. "I have been hearing clearly from Nunavummiut that this is a crucial moment for Nunavut and for all of Canada. "With new threats against our sovereignty and pressures on the wellbeing of people throughout the North, we need a strong and ambitious government that makes decisions with Nunavut - not only about Nunavut. The success of that work needs all of our voices. "That is why after much personal reflection and encouragement from my community, family, and supporters, I have decided to join the government caucus and to work alongside Prime Minister Mark Carney to build the better future that Nunavummiut are counting on. "Our North is where climate change is felt first, where new threats to our security and sovereignty are growing, and where Canada's responsibilities to our people are among its greatest. As a Member of Parliament, I have always worked to bring Nunavut's priorities into national focus: especially ensuring the immediate needs of Nunavut are addressed and so that we can confront the high cost of living, the urgent need for housing and food security, the importance of protecting our land and waters, and the need for policies that reflect the culture, language, and rights of Inuit and Canadians all throughout the North. "Mark Carney is our first Prime Minister from the North, and at this turning point in our history, I am ready to work with him to build a strong future for Nunavut and for all of Canada."

yes it is.

This is insane.

I read that as "𝑃𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑎𝑛 𝑇ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑠 office"

A place under the end of a very prominent pedestrian overpass that used to be safe, accessible and open but is now expensively caged so homeless people won’t sleep there.

Looking down Third Ave in Kamloops at the Lorne St intersection, with pedestrian overpass on the right. A place under the end of the overpass is expensively caged so homeless people won’t sleep there.

Anti homeless architecture is policy in action, the expression of a city’s position. Kamloops says a lot of words about helping vulnerable people but:

yes there is the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police
