It's time to embargo trade with the US. Nothing in or out. Let's do it.
1.to fold small and rest the soap on.
2.to scrub the faces of small children.
3. to rinse the bathtub after use.
4 to lose in the wash.
I think it might be time to consider a trade embargo against the US.
Image of a car filled highway in congestion and gridlock, with three cigarette packs in front, one named gas, the second named hybrid, and the third named EV. The main text says “taste the freedom.“ At the bottom is the tagline for the Urban Truth Collective. Car dependency is the opposite of freedom.
Car dependency is a hell of a drug. #UrbanTruth
KY spirit exports to Canada have only dropped 63%? Damn. We need to do better. They should have dropped to 0.

I’ve been focusing on Vancouver island produce, followed by BC then Alberta. So many great products made across Canada. Food sovereignty for all! ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Today I heard a 22yo explain that their generation has a general understanding that the world and future we’ve given them sucks really bad so they’re just going to try to be honest and kind with each other and try to avoid the rest of us.
Honestly, this just seems correct and wise all around.
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
Picture of a social/supportive housing project in the Yaletown community in downtown Vancouver. Text says “if we don’t build housing to solve homelessness, we don’t really want to solve homelessness.” Logo of the urban truth collective in the corner.
If we don’t build housing to solve homelessness, we don’t really want to solve homelessness. #UrbanTruth
good rule for teaching
What kind of society can we hope to build keeping taxes artificially low, landlords artificially rich, and real human beings dying from neglect?
Asking the leaders of my city, my province, and my country. Why no housing?
What are we doing?
what a surprise.
Nice to see the sitka and the Dwarf Alberta Spruce -- those are my "native species" trees. This is my favourite Alberta spruce.
I had dinner the other night with my partner's colleagues in transportation fuels policy. They think the future I want is indistinguishable from fantasy.
Dear Apple, I understand that Canada confuses you, mais, il’y a deux langues aux Canada, un c’est Anglais and the other is French. Si, j’achete un film en anglais, I would prefer le titre est en anglais. Merci, laissez les bonne temps rouler
yup that's the size of it. We're all scouring the shelves these days in the grocery stores to make sure we don't buy anything that says "product of USA" by accident. Spinach from Mexico? Fruit juice from Brazil? yes please.
I'm not sure I'm prepared to live in a world where it's not weird to be a curling fan.

I teach my students 2 minutes per page, and for a 20 minute presentation no more than 9 pages. Better be too short than too long.
lol.
I'm always confused by this. Do the shuffleboard rock-thingys curl? they look like they go straight to me.
Eliminating gender studies courses helps to ensure that universities and other institutions will continue to protect men who benefit from the abuse of women and girls, either directly or through their connections to those who exploit girls and women for profit.

Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people.
A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow.
May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.
