To be fair, a nation that clings to its monarchy in the 21st century only really deserves that. They led the charge for the West in setting the world on fire with global warming, were a preeminent colonial superpower (ie. force for evil) for centuries and have been gradually slipping into irrelevance since then. Not a good look.

So Liberals builds and Conservatives don’t.

A Manitoba judge has determined an “abuse of process” took place when the province’s former attorney general ordered a review of a decision to not charge Peter Nygard with sexual assault and unlawful confinement. Provincial court Judge Mary Kate Harvie made the ruling Tuesday morning but did not grant a judicial stay of proceedings, which Nygard’s lawyer had requested during arguments earlier this month. In 2022, while he was attorney general and justice minister in the previous Progressive Conservative government, Goertzen announced that Manitoba was going to take a second look at the decision and seek the advice of Saskatchewan’s public prosecution services. (Judge) Harvie agreed the decision seemed to have been made abruptly and only after questioning in the legislature, despite Goertzen having been in possession of the Manitoba Prosecution Service opinion for about 16 months. “In this case, the timing of the attorney general’s decision is very troubling,” she wrote in her decision. “[It] leads to the conclusion that the course of action taken by the attorney general was a partisan decision which was made contrary to the rule of law.”

People living in Pelican Narrows, 400 kilometres northeast of Prince Albert, Sask., are being told to leave the community immediately as a wildfire burns dangerously close to town. The Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation has declared a state of emergency. Wildfires have been burning in the area for weeks and hundreds of people have already been evacuated to centres in Saskatoon, Prince Albert and Flin Flon.

The US idea of democracy is the same one that we see in Starship Troopers and Helldivers.

Cory Doctorow always has more to say. In Part 1 of our chat with the visionary journalist, blogger, sci-fi author and social philosopher, we defined and examined “enshittification” — the British-Canadian activist’s term for the sudden, sharp decline of social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. We dug into the issue with retaliatory tariffs, dismissed by Doctorow as “the stuff of 19th-century geopolitics,” and explored an alternative action that focused on Parliament, policy, anti-circumvention laws and open-source technology. In Part 2, we pivot from macro to micro: the personal impact of platform decay, our nostalgia for the internet of yesterday, the one that once teemed with community and competition, the one from before the bulk of us were kettled and trapped by maleficent apps that used our social ties to bind us to their misanthropic vision.

Maam, the appropriate terminology is Fuck you, I got mine.

Quoi de neuf ?

You’re being silly with your constant assertion of how many hard decisions you have to make. I’m a homeowner too. Big boy, I pay four different types of taxes and all that. I own a car too. But I also own an electric cargo bike. I also take transit and use my non electric bike and my feet. Most of my groceries come home on foot or by (gasp!) delivery. The real world is not a world where you need to be driving fucking everywhere. In fact, it’s a world where you should only be driving if there is really no better alternative – and you should be voting in local governments that create such alternatives for more and more areas of our lives. Because the responsible adult grown up big boy thing to do is to do as a citizen everything you can to reduce car dependency to as close to zero as we can as a society.

And that’s all just from Marlaina going to visit her Daddy.

I tried the intermediate step and even the minimum possible temperature increase of half a degree still triggers the bad behaviour. I can’t find any auxiliary heat lock setting. Maybe it’s in the service menu set by the HVAC installers? They set a password on that and won’t tell me what it is.

Yeah. That’s not to say that it isn’t prevalent but there’s a large mix of political ideologies around here. The oilfield guys and the religious towns skew it in our voting. But as a guy who’s worked camps there’s a lot more progressive ideology out here than you’d think.
