Alt-lite commentators and right-wing media outfits downplaying the severity of identified variants of concern is just more fear uncertainty and doubt from Conservative manipulators.

Climate change is real.
The Earth is round.

Kay’s primary outlet for his alt-light opinions is the Post Millennial—the paragraph arm of Jeff Ballingall’s facebook page, “Canada Proud.”

cbc.ca/news/politics/…
“The Post Millennial, a right-wing website owned by Canada Proud’s Jeff Ballingall and members of Montreal’s wealthy Azrieli family.”

“Seyed Ali Taghva, editor-in-chief and co-founder of The Post Millennial, said the site is unabashedly a "centre-right news organization, the same way the @TorontoStar is a liberal news organization."”

Except the Star is owned by Conservatives. #cdnmedia

Ballingall is working directly for the Conservative Party.

“Erin O’Toole has enlisted the creator of the Canada Proud network amid a public challenge to his leadership, Global News has learned.”

His media companies are a propaganda wing for the Cons.

The housing bubble is not caused by a supply problem. There is more than enough excess housing to eliminate homelessness in Canada.

What we are experiencing is a distribution problem where the wealthy hoard supply.

This results in inflated cost for those who require housing.
“A report by Point2 Homes estimates there were 1.34 million empty and temporarily occupied homes in 2016.”

I discuss the way artificial scarcity of housing connects to other issues in this thread on Edmonton:

In Canada, liberals study reality to learn about reality so they can respond to reality. Conservatives, instead, attempt to shape reality into a form that they desire.

Understand that this is what the referendum was about: changing what is true into what they want to be true. Image
Why is Kenney alway lying?

He isn’t. He’s telling the “truth” that he wants to become factual.

In the imagination of Conservatives, the world people like Kenney project is real—or at least what they believe *should* be true, if the lies are repeated enough to be believed.
Conservatives will twist themselves into knots to defend the lie. They may get upset with people who reject their projected reality.

This can be clearly seen as the bending of words. Pay attention to which words need to be changed to make their lie true. Image

CW: sexual assault.

Thread. 🧵👇

This is not my story. It didn’t happen to me.
It was told to me by someone I trust.
#IBelieveHer.

This story did not take place in Alberta.

“…and then he started forcing himself on me.
I did not want this.
I tried to push him back.
He didn’t stop.
I did not want this.
He kept pushing.
I didn’t think he was going to stop.
So I decided to change my strategy...

2/
"I knew he wouldn’t be so pushy if I got him off.
A håndjøb. I knew how.
It was better than…
…it was better than the alternative…
I did not want that.
As soon as he relaxed,
I got up,
and got out of there.”

A tale of two headlines.

What’s mentioned in the second headline (people) doesn’t even come up in the first story.

So what’s driving the demand that is pushing up housing prices?

#ableg #yyc #yycre #yycbiz
Article sources:

The #yycre market remains hot!

yyccalgarybusiness.ca/business/calga…

But probably not because people are moving here?

calgary.ctvnews.ca/canadians-don-…

So what is driving up the demand and prices?

Without knowing exactly who is buying homes, we can’t be certain…
“A pair of [2020] reports say Canada is undergoing a "K-shaped recovery," with working-class Canadians going deeper into debt while those at the top prosper.”

A few months ago I went to the ceremony to honour #215children that were found at a residential school site. Since then thousands more have been discovered.

Here is a thread of videos from that day that I had not shared previously. #OrangeShirtDay
Singing from the drum circle.
A moment of silence.

Many in the crowd were wearing orange shirts that day.
