The local Albertan!

Former Flashpoint Archive staff member.

Enjoys local history, open data, Canadian politics, retro video games, and cooking (mmmm, perogies).

I have the following instances blocked. If you are on these instances, it’s often nothing personal:

  • lemmy.world/piefed.world - Way too much American politics and casual transphobia for my liking
  • lemmy.ml - Transphobia from admins as well as denial of human rights abuses

  • Cool, surely this will drive down the cost of gas at the pump, right?

    Just like how the average Albertan is seeing that money trickle down for their benefit, right?

    Canadians are deluded right now. Wow, the Liberal prime minister said pipelines good? Must be true!

    Like I say once again, the authour of Values seems to have some memory loss issues, because this sure as hell seems directly in opposition to the very words he penned.












  • Who does that economist serve? The working class, or wealthy CEOs, investors, and company shareholders?

    The high speed rail project he’s putting in place is, as always, going to be a public-private partnership rather than a public crown corporation like Via Rail is. His affordable housing strategy has simply been “build more homes” and poking for the private sector to do the right thing when they’re the ones price gouging us to begin with by treating a home as an investment rather than a human right.

    He still hasn’t said anything about the efforts of Ford and Smith to further privatise the healthcare industry and how he’d protect public health with the Canada Health Act. His government forced arbitration on airline attendants striking against Air Canada over unpaid work. He’s laying the groundwork for a new pipeline when the oil & gas industry has abandoned workers through automation leaving them nowhere else to go, and he’s unwilling to ban surveillance pricing when we’re in a cost of living crisis.






  • The man has already moved the goalposts time and time over, why should we continue to capitulate to him?

    Carney hasn’t proved to me that he’s the man to meet the moment whatsoever. You tell me that the man who stood by and asked “both sides” to respect international law in both Iran and Venezuela rather than call out the U.S. for the initial violation of international law is the guy to stand up to the U.S.? That the man who gave up the digital services tax the last time around is the person to stand tall and not capitulate?

    The man has been talking about the possibility of not renewing CUSMA for ages now, why not take that as a sign to not engage?




  • NK News reports on North Korea, they’re not owned by or operate in support of the North Korean government.

    I implore you to go outside. I don’t know what you’re even talking about unless there’s content from lemmy.world or .ml in this community that’s getting blocked by my instance blocks, but even with that in mind, you’re not a warrior for posting this stuff to “combat” that. You’re sowing one-sided narratives just as much as they are, and that annoys the hell out of me as someone who wants to look at what’s new without obvious narratives getting pushed by community members
