The last conservative government silenced the government scientists from discussing climate change and destroyed decades of research as they didn't believe in it and it didn't fit their Alberta oil jobs first objectives.

We are looking at another Conservative government coming our way again in the next year and it's going to be a super shit storm when our Cons and the US Cons are firing on all cylinders destroy everything they don't like or believe in. I fear it's going to take decades again to come back on the science again.

There are social media videos I seen where the cheaper brands of ice cream no longer melt, even after days of sitting on the counter. Same for the cheap ice cream sandwiches. Days and they don't lose their shape.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out they no longer need refrigeration beyond the preference of enjoying it cold versus warm.

Many parts of the EU often has North American travellers amazed how well they feel while eating *there during their vacations and how awful they feel when coming back to the north American diet. What's a few chemicals many will say.

It just seems everything from bread to pasta, dairy, meat, desserts etc doesn't seem to make you feel as awful as north American food can.

I love *Haagen Dazs vanilla bean ice cream. It's not the cheapest but it's one of the cleanest I can find among the big brands. Walmart etc usually has it the cheapest.

I have to admit this caught me off guard when I saw many of them celebrating on SM.

We went through this in Canada too with the last Conservative government. They muzzled the government scientists and destroyed the research they had been collecting for decades. We are looking at a return to this in the next election cycle. Most people don't remember or care.

At some point it's going to be like that Wall-E movie where the large corporations in charge keep promising a better world while destroying it in the process for more profits and the Sheeple will just baaah the latest Qanon talking point they heard.

A Pennsylvania man has been arrested after allegedly killing his father, before displaying his decapitated head in a gruesome YouTube video while spouting right-wing conspiracy theories...

In the YouTube video, which was titled "Mohn's Militia - Call To Arms For American Patriots" and is cited in a police complaint, Mohn is seen wearing gloves and holding his father's head in a plastic bag. Later, the head can be seen in a cooking pot.

Mohn says his father was a federal employee for 20 years and refers to him as a traitor,** calling for the death of all federal officials and attacking President Joe Biden's administration, the Black Lives Matter movement, the LGBTQ community and antifa activists**. YouTube removed the video, which is more than 14 minutes long, hours after it was posted.

Why must these red hat losers take down loved ones and others in their spiral down the Qanon rabbit hole? Will the Qanon grifters ever be held accountable for their roles for feeding these types with misinformation and radicalizing those that will go to these extremes just to sell the latest hat, tee-shirt, flag, subscription?

These grifters and the homegrown white terrorists are the real threats...

 
 
 
 

After the explosion left Kerouac covered in human feces, urine and debris, he walked out of the men’s room seeking help from workers and the store’s manager, according to the lawsuit. An employee told him that they were aware of the “problem with the toilet” since there had been previous incidents, the lawsuit says, without diving into further details about the explosion.

 
 
 
 
 

On another episode, the show welcomed blacklisted folk singer Pete Seeger — he’d been banned from television for years. He sang his “Waist Deep in the Big Muddy,” a song widely understood to ridicule President Lyndon Johnson for the Vietnam War. CBS refused to air the segment, but Tom and Dick brought Seeger back and he sang it again, this time making the air. Segments like these, along with others poking fun at religion, racism and the establishment, led to CBS giving the brothers the ax.

The song started out with clips from other US war protest songs going back to the 1800s: https://youtu.be/qHETC5qAnqo?si=7OIaA0nxsy3h0rlH
