It’s like a cancer.

Communities like this one, once relatively immune, are seeing an exponential increase in farmland loss to Ford's mafioso developer/donor pals.

He couldn't give away the Greenbelt, so...

Easier in places like this, too, where council was a few years ago voted 'least transparent in Canada' and the family of the ex-acting deputy chief of police is known locally as 'the Stratford mafia.'

Working on finishing touches and mistakes correction for this #killteam of Navis Breachers. Only discovered #KillTeamIntoTheDark when the new rules were announced and none of the expansions were available. Nevertheless it makes a good #RogueTrader team in a Lord-Captain’s retinue. #minipainting

Air pollution is linked to roughly one in seven premature deaths in Canada, while burning fossil fuels is linked to one in five deaths worldwide. Climate change contributes to health harms through extreme weather and heat, food insecurity, proliferating infectious diseases and more. Both climate change and air pollution are associated with severe mental health harms, including depression and suicide, especially impacting our youth

This dude for a #forbiddenlands #solottrpg play. I needed a Necro-Druid and looked to @reaperminiatures.bsky.social and painted him like this. 🌲☮️❤️🤘 #miniaturepainting #paintingminis #reaper #necro #druid

@Maxfieldripken @bici @MikeImBack You have never benefited from public health care? Public education? Public infrastructure? A charitable act that was either organized or individual? You’ve never listened to Canadian music? Read Canadian literature? Walked on a street that was renamed after public attention was drawn to the legacy of oppression? Heard of insulin, the pace maker, computerized braille, eaten any Canadian food, played basketball?

@Maxfieldripken @bici @MikeImBack Talk about the con that was Confederation, but don’t be reductionist to say that Canada is fake b/c of it. Together the people that are Canada have created music, art, literature, science, medicine. We are trying to do better while fascism perpetually assaults us tearing away any common good to replace it with an identity of hate and pain. To say Canada is fake is saying the people and any good they’ve done is too.

@Maxfieldripken @bici @MikeImBack I don’t mean we should sweep things under the carpet. The ghosts and scars should be engraved in all our hearts as well as the songs of resistance and empowerment. Acknowledge the horror and strive for it to never be seen again.

@Maxfieldripken @bici @MikeImBack CanadaOrigin = imperialism+genocide therefore Canada = fake is a base fallacy. Canada is more than blood & guilt. It is art, struggle, expression; our shared tragedies & horror; people from across the globe coming in hope having lost their homelands; sharing the best we have to give each other. It is trying to make a better day today & tomorrow. Denying that community of identity disempowers us & empowers fascism.

Lost for any #paintingminis inspiration staring at this #reapermini Ape Demon for a few years now but took a break from career devt tonight and the scheme came to me as a bit of catharsis I didn’t know I needed for one of the first demonic hordes I struggled against early in my professional career. Now, just have to find a justification to destroy this guy in a #SoloRoleplaying adventure.

🇨🇦 "Poilievre saying he will use the notwithstanding clause to pass laws that will infringe on our charter rights is the** mating call of an authoritarian." **
"Canada* MUST* rebuke this."

Can Canada still trust the U.S. for food safety? Ottawa professor says we should be skeptical

@Sfwmson Ah. No worries. I’ve seen/heard pundits making this point in all seriousness. Coupled with the recent article about relative possibilities of decades long insurgency after an annexation. Ugh. I migrated to this platform to chat about RPGs, SF&F, and other frivolous hobbies but reality is here instead.

@Sfwmson Was the sovereign Kingdom of Hawaii immediately a state after being overthrown by an oligarch in 1893? After being annexed by America in 1898? No. It was 1959. There is no way in hell an imperialist occupation of Canada will allow democracy. They’ll tear apart every good thing about Canada there is and hollow it out to enrich the oligarchs and disempower everyone else into serfs.
