François Legault has had 6+ years to recruit, graduate, and place more teachers... instead, he practices the politics of fear, division, and hate w/ language and fabric. https://mastodon.world/@somecanuckchick/113104598840473986 #assnat #polQC #QCpoli
😳 The FBI created top-secret files investigating all of Russia's interference from 2016, all the way up to 2020.
Those files were part of the stolen documents that Trump walked out with from the White House ... and the Feds have not yet been able to recover them.

centrists are basically just conservatives without any strong convictions
This is something else...
Wheels are turning, consequences of the LPC boycott of Capital Pride, and other things. Can any Canadian party successfully condemn and act against terrorism and genocide without being smeared as antisemitic and a supporter of Palestinian genocide? Probably not.

This & similar cartoons often pop up on social media.... but that doesn't make them any less telling about our political leaders current & continuing attitudes to climate change.
So here it is again; our short-term thinking will be the end of us

Is there a prize for the worst user interface to decline website tracking cookies?
I have a contender: Bain Capital Insurance (private equity investors in US for-profit healthcare plans)
When you access the website (www.baincapitalinsurance[.]com) you see four toggle buttons, all toggled to the RIGHT - one shaded (Necessary) and three in bright blue (Functional, Analytics, Performance). So far, so good.
BUT, if you don't toggle those buttons off right away and instead scroll down the page as I did, the three buttons that were bright blue transform into gray buttons with tiny blue drop shadows, all toggled to the LEFT. They are all still toggled on.
Inattentive visitors to this website may assume they have toggled off the tracking since they are now all gray and the toggles moved from right to left.
If you click on the now-gray buttons, the toggles don't move. Instead, the drop shadows disappear.
This is deceptive and should be illegal in the US. I am not surprised that a predatory private equity firm profiting from a portfolio of predatory Affordable Care Act for-profit insurance providers would employ such a scheme. It is despicable in every aspect.
Oh no what is the purpose of pride without fauxgressive politicians campaigning?

When Nate Silver joined a company in which extremist Peter Thiel and cryptocurrency funds are key investors, the rest of us should have stopped listening to anything he says about politics.
But he's still widely quoted, and only rarely (afaik) with this context.
I'm not sure what liberals mean when they scold people on the left for "purity politics."
Dem politics is essentially a punch bowl full of stagnant water with turds floating around. I would like Dems to at least remove the turds. We can deal with the stagnant water later on.
But liberals swear that asking for no turds in the political punch bowl is asking for purity.
It's cool. You're just letting us know you've acclimated to raw sewage in your politics.
That's why we'll never get along.
