I love the ambient light you captured in this one. I knew it was sunset-ish by looking at it

I love Chantal Hébert. She’s one of my favourite parts of CBC election coverage. What a rad Canadian
CanadaLand is still on your list? https://www.readthemaple.com/i-went-to-jesse-browns-talk-on-the-slow-pogrom-in-media/
I hope you’re right! I have very little confidence in mainstream news media these day to do anything besides serve the interests of corporations and the wealthy. Recent examples: (coverage of) Colonialist genocide in Palestine, carbon ‘tax’, recent capital gains tax. This issue is compounded by how few Canadians read non-mainstream news. I know you do, but I think we’re clearly outliers since we’re on Lemmy
Called out in parliament, maybe, but not by anyone inclined to vote for him. I’ve never met a Conservative voter who thinks critically when it comes to voting (and I’ve met several with advanced degrees). Policy and performance don’t matter; they vote for ‘their team’ and based on beliefs - not evidence - that ‘conservatives are good with money’ and similar swill. It’s more like being a sports fan or a religious devotee than a rational elector, ime
The petition is open from April 10th to August 8th. So far, it’s received over 11,000 signatures. I just signed it. You need to provide an email address (in addition to name, postal code, etc.), which they send a link to, and by clicking that link your signature is added (this is a 1 signature per person safeguard). I looked at the collection/disclosure of personal info briefly. It looks like no info other than #s signed per province/territory will be disclosed and all personal info will be destroyed 6 months after the e-petition closes.

Until now, the only all-yellow bird I’d seen was Big Bird. This little fella’s super cute
Adorable. I like sound of kitties snoring
<3
Arthur is soo cute!
Neat! I’d never heard of bug houses before
I’m sorry to hear that. Do you ever eat for pleasure if you can’t taste anything?
Pickle toy. Pillow by the window. Kaia’s living well
So cute <3
Conservativism predates fascism by 100-200 years, does it not?
I love the slightly guilty look on Thorin’s face
Bonus: it will probably sound better
Keto BS.
A high-meat low-carb diet is a pseudo-self-starvation method to lose weight if that works for you. But no one needs that amount of cholesterol and saturated fat, and where are you getting your fibre and micronutrients from? Getting that many calories from protein could be problematic too, and would certainly be off the table for anyone with kidney issues.
Not to mention all the other reasons why meat isn’t great: inefficient use of land/food resources (1:10 conversion of calories), environmental pollution, non-human animal suffering.
Advocating for a high meat diet is absurd and exemplifying all of the confusion peddled by the animal agriculture industry to disguise the obvious solution to eating for health: reduce animal products, and eat a whole food plant-based diet.
If I learned 1 thing from the COVID pandemic, it’s that science doesn’t matter when it’s at odds with established big money continuing to make big money.
Per the WHO, processed meat is in the same category of carcinogen as cigarette smoking. That’s the science. In my locale of Toronto, they sell dollar hotdogs weekly at the ballpark of the professional men’s baseball team. They dump tons of money into advertising and fetishizing binge meat-eating. They try to increase the stadium’s consumption that day well past 40,000 ‘dogs’. Last I checked, colon cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in men and second in women. These dollar hotdogs certainly keep colonoscopists in business.
More money talk. 2/3rds of animal biomass on this planet is ‘livestock’, which is given three-quarters of the antibiotics we produce. A healthy vegan is very unlikely to need diabetes, cholesterol-lowering, or heart disease meds. Most people on North American-ish omnivore diets will be on multiple prescription meds of these classes for decades of their life. They will need colonoscopies every year or two, starting around age 50. They will need hospitalization and maybe surgery after their first angina attack, heart attack, or stroke. They’re essentially a different kind of livestock.
It’s amazing how much taxpayer money goes into preserving this extremely-dettached-from-reality status quo that benefits pharmaceutical companies, the medical industry, and Big Meat. It’s not serving the people who eat North American-ish omnivore diets, the healthcare system, the tortured non-human animals, or the low-paid humans that are probably stuck in those barbaric industries for lack of access to better work
You look really cute
