So Saskatchewan and Alberta premiers really don't want to be part of team Canada. When Daniel Smith invites Fox news to film the Coutts Alberta border crossing, you begin to wonder what team she is on. With a population of 244 Coutts could be a hot spot for the queen of tiny minds.

Is social media very socialable or is it ultimately isolational? Often it seems there is an erosion of social coherence and loss of being united. (With thx to Byung-Chul Han)

Interesting.

So some Republicans are sponsoring this US Congressional bill : H.Res.59 - Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the sermon given by the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde at the National Prayer Service on January 21st, 2025, at the National Cathedral was a display of political activism and condemning its distorted message.

Here is the text of the political activist. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/24/bishop-mariann-edgar-budde-sermon-that-enraged-donald-trump

A theology stating honouring dignity, honesty and humility.

Well, Conrad Black, a convicted felon, writes an article today for the National Post. ‘The insidious BDS campaign trying to undermine our universities’. How does he still maintain a platform to write this stuff?

I am ordering this book from my local independent bookstore. With her calling for mercy and receiving such vile responses from this gang in Washington, she may have something interesting to say. She has courage and that we all need.

This whole Tik Tok story is confusing. Banned by a law of congress and the senate, the new president can postpone implementation for 90 days but he can't negate the law. He originally led the attack on TikTok during his first administration, but since reversed himself. A different type of leadership. And we should get used to it for the next 4 years. The dilemma of uncertainty.

So PP dodges the question whether he supports Canada and the provinces and territories or Alberta. Hard to believe we spent $36 billion on the Trans Mountain pipeline for Alberta bitumen to get to salt water for export and Smith never mentions it. What camp do these two have their tents parked in? Does not seem to be Canada's. 🇨🇦https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-dodges-question-on-taxing-oil-exports-1.7433439

"Night Drive" by Garnet Rogers is truly a Canadian song that exemplifies the feeling when you drive long distances through this wonderful country of ours. Those long stretches in the north or across the prairies coming closer and seeing the Rockies in the distance. Oh Canada!

What unseen extraction happens when we view a post with someone's avatar present? Is there an allegory of some personal journey? Or is this colourful symbol what we view ourselves as? Of course there are some that just put their picture up like me - somewhat boring. #avatar

We were downtown yesterday and caught the end of a pro-Palestinian march down Granville St. More than a few hundred people with police escorts. Absolutely nothing reported by any news agencies. Nothing.
