A lot of things

Buy local

Now tainted with the tang of imperialism

Thank you!

It is important to remember while Alberta’s carbon emissions are very high, it is not their most toxic export.

That honour goes to The Right Dishonourable Stephen Harper, whose guidance of the deceptively named International Democracy Union will send ripples of suffering and extinction throughout the timeline.

Well, we all have varying degrees of parochialism in our local outlook.

It’s also, in the simplest way, incompetent.

All those weeds provide some ecological service in some way. If you look at my yard and note it’s covered in tall straggly white flowers, you could say weedy, and be right. I would clarify that wild carrots are helping convert our heavy clay soil into good tilth, and supporting a massive number of pollinators and pest predators.

And why would we put up with yellow dock going to seed everywhere? It’s the most nutritious chicken fodder, and it also gives tilth to heavy clay.

Don’t get me started about dandelion!!

Yes, I generally think that is the case too.

Fraser Institute strikes again! Traitors to Canada and humanity.

You may be right, but ostensibly, tariffs and other barriers are an attempt to make trade more fair, as the business conditions in China are significantly different and give various unfair advantages over jurisdictions that have higher labour standards, safety standards, environmental standards, and fewer subsidies.

So in that sense, we don’t want to subsidize the oppression of workers who give up a decent living to save us some money, etc…

I realize that things like safety standards can change much faster than legislation.

In Voyager, click on a username, then on the user feed screen click the three dots in the upper right, you can edit tags from there. They are only visible to you, and only in voyager.

It’s a perfectly reasonable request, stop being unnecessarily insulting.

If you have audhd or similar, please add extensions to your browser to aid in reducing distractions, and please don’t take it out on others.

I just realized that I could have double-layered the m-dashes there, eh? Missed opportunity. Oh what the hell, I need to prolong lunch break juuust a little bit more, so

Well, full lulz as that was tongue in cheek although not wrong! And appreciation for the semicolon. Punctuators: Rise Up!

Ahem, edited for consistency.

It’s sad, because for most people the use-case for an m-dash is relatively narrow—a parenthetic interjection relevant to the topic (but not sufficiently off-topic for brackets), and needing a subtle call to authority—it mostly popped up in academic or pseudo intellectual non-fiction, or in faulknerian ponderous fiction, but also as a hapless crutch for endlesss neurodivergent layers of qualification.

So I am going to claim disability discrimination about this brutal and unjust sudden boycott, on behalf of crew #adhd.

Edit: shits and giggles

You meant to type right turn on a red.

It’s true, while being harvested in Canada and maybe even made in Canada, sometimes the companies selling paper are American.

I use the Buycott app on my phone to track the family tree of companies and find out who to avoid.

I only know of a couple in Calgary, Brassica and Cian’s, but I am from BC. Still, it shows that we should be transporting raw goods less.

Oh the irony, so much mustard is grown in Alberta!

Try and find a non-American credit card that actually works. It’s fucked.

GardaWorld = Police Planet

Fuck those guys eh
