There is no fertilizer ban

Albertans are not taxed more than anyone else, but less.

They’re getting a new pipeline because Trudeau bought it and is building the expansion

But none of this matters
Canada had one of the best vaccine rollouts in the world

We had extremely fast aid programs as we went into lockdown, saving countless Canadians & businesses

We negotiated inclusion in Biden’s historic climate legislation

We have the first ever national childcare program
We had one of the fastest economic recoveries in the industrialized world

We have lower inflation than most of the G7

We are on track for a surplus this fiscal year
We have a climate action plan that most independent experts rate very positively

We are pouring billions into infrastructure and mass transit, creating jobs

Our unemployment rate is at a record low
As of July, 137 First Nations boil water advisories have been lifted, & 31 remain

We STILL have a worsening health care crisis & housing affordability is a serious problem in many major cities
We continue to have a worsening opioid crisis that is a disaster in parts of the country, especially Vancouver

Passports are a mess, & Afghanistan was a catastrophe—though not one that we controlled
When extremists occupied the capital and blockaded borders, the government waited an extraordinarily long time to act

But when it did, the enforcement operation was swift, effective, & short-lived
It would be very helpful for the opposition to stop lying to Canadians and inflaming unbalanced people to endanger our leaders, journalists, and the public

The fact that there are abusive jackasses of all stripes in a country of 38 million—

Does not mean that we’re dumb enough to fall for a defence like this.

The whole country saw it.
Only one major party with elected MPs overtly or tacitly supported an organized group that illegally occupied our capital, blockaded our borders, targeted politicians & attacked journalists.
Don’t pull this “I got a mean tweet so we’re all victims” bullshit.

Storytime--just in case it saves someone else.

Was out a couple of weeks ago for my regular forest run with a pal.

When I got to our meeting place she was on the phone with her 96 yo mom. 1/
But she was staying on the phone for a long time, and then rang off, saying that the home care nurse would be there in a couple of hours and she'd check in then.

I asked what was up.

She said her mom had called because she was "feeling funny" and "not herself"
I asked what the "feeling funny" meant and she said well, she'd knocked something off the counter by accident.

(This hero still lives alone with her 97 yo husband who has Alzheimer's).

So the idea was to have the home care nurse check her later in the pm.

For my followers--please see the Google translate generated doc of the whistleblower's report posted by @christogrozev in this thread.

As he cautions, it's authenticity is not wholly verified, but looks very reliable.

(NB there is a fifth image in my thread)
@christogrozev Key points:

"The Pandora's box is open - a real global horror will begin by the summer - global famine is inevitable (RU & UA are the main suppliers of grain in the world, this year's harvest will be smaller, and logistics will bring the catastrophe to a peak point)"
"Most importantly, no one knew that there would be such a war, they hid it from everyone"

"That is why we have a total fuckup - I don’t even want to pick another word. There is no protection from sanctions for the same reason"

This seems like a foolishly obvious conclusion, yet stunning to contemplate:

Putin is done for. There is no return to the world stage, to glory, wealth or power. He is finished.

The only question is what nightmare he will visit upon the world as his trajectory pitches downward.
Putin's lifelong ambition of re-assembling the Soviet Union or even Tsarist Russia is an abject failure, 10 days into his first major assault.
His feared military capacity is exposed before the world as an embarrassment, save and except for his nuclear arsenal.

He has destroyed fortunes of the world's most powerful men with the stroke of a pen.

He has enemies now, and no real reason for anyone to be his friend.

At the risk of being overly cerebral in a moment of true horror—

Russia is facing some extremely serious risks here, and not just from external sanctions.
1/
It’s worth looking at the history of the Soviet Union & Warsaw Pact, in large measure a creation of the Yalta Conference after WWII.

Ie, the Soviet Union as a functioning industrialized & unitary political entity lasted from the mid-40’s to the mid-late 80’s.
For at least half that period it suffered severe economic stagnation.

Nothing that Russia has introduced since the period of glasnost and perestroika has turned it into an economic power.

In GDP terms it still operates about the level of Italy.

Truly, my support for the EA was wholly about removing an occupation that had taken over the capital city & shut down commerce.

Per numerous accounts, the occupiers were dug in and determined to stay & resist authorities.

It seemed an overwhelming police response was needed. 1/
Because children were embedded among people who might or might not be armed, I supported cutting off access to funds as a temporary form of pressure.
Barring some unknown intelligence available to authorities, it appeared even by yesterday that the primary purpose of the EA had been fulfilled.
