I finally did it and organized my thoughts on Bill C-2, C-5, 5 etc. into a concise(ish) narrative. There's many threads to navigate through below if you wanna spend your day / week going down all the rabbit holes I did.
I made a more accessible version in this article: jeff.doctor/blog/my-summ...
Canada's attempt at a patriot act is coming back tomorrow, and you know they are gonna use Tumbler Ridge as the excuse for "lawful access". Don't fall for it, it's about counter-insurgency, not "making kids safe again"

Such beautiful birds 💗
The federal government isn't willing to stand up for Indigenous people or trans people despite the fact that Alberta is waging a war on them
A Canadian journalist documents a group of white nationalists who’ve been meeting at a gym in Montréal, unbeknownst to the owner of the business.
What happens after the story comes out? thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...
"An analysis by the Pembina Institute shows 44 per cent of renewable projects were cancelled between 2023 and 2025, representing enough power to supply the entire province. That analysis also shows a 32 per cent increase in proposed natural gas projects."
"Maps of the region, which was once known for its drinkable streams and vast green expanse, now include landmarks like “Bitumount” and “Tar Island.”"
“It’s in our genetic makeup to hunt, trap, fish, gather. Now the food that kept us alive for thousands of years is killing us. Where do they expect us to go?” (Ron Campbell, an elder in Fort Chipewyan.)
I spent the last week writing up this essay on what it means to be trans in this moment. What it means to live under authoritarianism as the scapegoated minority of the moment and how it feels inescapable as an infinite loop.

this effectively eliminates the purported rehabilitative function of incarceration. its human caging
Wow!
A question from the Western Standard backfired yesterday when they tried to ask Chiefs if the Chiefs had engaged with separatists to hear their concerns…
And ended with UCP MLA Scott Cyr being named directly as an alleged separatist!

It's interesting how easy it is for people to look at someone *wildly* succeeding at a horrific goal, and continue acting as if they are failing at a very different goal which they have repeatedly and loudly declared they do not have.
Teleological thinking, goal based thinking, is just thinking that has a means and an end.
The means don't have to be correct, or make sense, or work.
If you want it to rain, sacrifice a goat. If you want a pizza for dinner, do all these things in the recipe first. Etc.
The brioche buns are perfection. That looks so delicious! 🤤
a picture of a huge, low, heavy cloud of black oil over Tehran
This is the cloud of oil currently hovering over Tehran, released when the US bombed the city's oil depots. A stew of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds is raining down into the city right now. 1/2
The reason I fight so hard for trans kids is because I was a trans kid myself. I knew who I was in the year 2000, 12 years old, behind my computer, using the name Erin. I wanted puberty blockers so badly. My body shifted and changed in horrifying ways that I suffered for 15 years over.
As you fill up with gas that's now up 20c/litre in a week, remember who profits. Cdn oil companies made $150b after-tax profit after the last oil spike (2022). An excess profit tax redistributed to consumers would ease the pain. My take in @thestar.com: www.thestar.com/business/opi...
Larissa, a therapist from D.C., recently spent 12 hours in a jail cell with five other people. There was no running water, since the sink wasn’t working. They were all fed once: a baloney sandwich per person.
She was there for her trans patients. They're being hurt by this administration, she said.
It is not an exaggeration to say so. The Lemkin Institute states we're in the early stages of a genocide against transgender people.

UNLOCKED | Susan Riley: Carney’s jarring, bloodless, defensive response to Trump’s war on Iran

A small orange dog with white markings stands on the side of a gravel road.
A big brown field, with snow and standing water and clear skies overhead.
Grateful for a beautiful day and a long walk with my best bud, Jack.
We could end homelessness and hunger tomorrow if we wanted to.
We could agree that everyone should be fed and housed.
We could admit that being disabled, poor, homeless or unemployed is not a moral failing.
That society would be better off if everyone’s basic needs were met.
Smith says she's cutting access to social support programs because she "heard that people were moving here just to be on social programs."
This sort of hearsay framing is a dangerous rhetorical device employed by populists. Consider Donald Trump. +
I wonder if Claude would be “anxious” because the military is using it to bomb schoolgirls or because it’s poisoning the air around data centers or because it’s going to crash the economy or because it’s encouraged thousands of psychotic delusions or all of the above
Ai boosters are misinformation peddlers who have been lying about this since 2023 when they lied and said gpt 4 tricked a Taskrabbit into solving a captcha (it didn’t do this btw). These lies have enriched other liars and killed people and they are responsible
Martyn is such an amazing artist. His prints are gorgeous, and he has postcards too.
Agreed. I’m just frustrated and wish I could do more, faster.
