Aliens did nothing we know of to deserve even more of our trash. Volcanoes on the other hand have angry gods that must be appeased every so often. Just spitballing.

No offense, but your question is really confusing. I don’t understand what her resignation has to do with the former supply-and-confidence agreement the Liberals had with the NDP.

ftr - There was never a coalition government and the NDP ended the supply-and-confidence agreement in September.

The right wing in North America flooded news stories and social media spaces with the talking point that the NDP and Liberals working together to accomplish government-related work was a “coalition government” (which they framed as a horrible undemocratic thing), but the NDP-Liberal supply-and-confidence agreement was in place to get Canadians the beginnings of dental care, affordable housing funding for municipalities, daycare, sick days for federally-regulated workplaces, etc.

Same. I still choose to believe that not using Google as a verb makes a dent in the behemoth. Usually gets a curious reply like “what, like Bing?”

Do you assume these scientists are fearful anti-intellectuals, like a gaggle of Covidiots or something? If you read the article, you’ll find that

The expert group includes Dr Craig Venter, the US scientist who led the private effort to sequence the human genome in the 1990s, and the Nobel laureates Prof Greg Winter at the University of Cambridge and Prof Jack Szostak at the University of Chicago.

These aren’t idiots, and their call came from a risk assessment performed by experts in their fields.

While enthusiastic about research on mirror molecules, the report sees substantial risks in mirror microbes and calls for a global debate on the work. link to the 299-page report

Beyond causing lethal infections, the researchers doubt the microbes could be safely contained or kept in check by natural competitors and predators.

…

Dr Kate Adamala, a synthetic biologist at the University of Minnesota and co-author on the report, was working towards a mirror cell but changed tack last year after studying the risks in detail.

“We should not be making mirror life,” she said. “We have time for the conversation. And that’s what we were trying to do with this paper, to start a global conversation.”

I wish you were right, but have you seen convites irl? Talked to one?

It’s been bonkers. We had one qanon grifter declare herself Queen of Canada and she has irl cultists follow her from town to town. During the worst of the pandemic, she had them sending death threats to healthcare workers (because Freedom). But even the main followers of the border shutdown and capitol occupation were frothy screwballs.

Like, they really shouldn’t have turned her facebook off!

From my point of view, the right-wing disinfo campaign is global. Copy-paste. Conservatives up north are even using a lot of the exact same media relations people as yours down south.

Convites in Canada like to cry first amendment too. Just not Canada’s first amendment in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Citing the US constitution. In Canadian courts.

imo worse than Yanks confused and offended they can’t bring their guns when they go shopping in Toronto. Just dumb over-entitled main characters.

True! I hate how drag queens are always making kids sleep in freezing cold trucks in the middle of winter and carry gas cans on their backs; using them as human shields and road blocks; making “the littles” (puke) sing and make freedom speeches “for the truckers” over their radio while their minders get shitfaced at noon on a Tuesday…

And when Canadians started asking out loud, “where tf is child services??? these kids should be in school!” the convites got a bunch of orange tshirts and Every Child Matters flags. Sneered about it on social media. Absolute filth.

“… and I’m just gonna say this out loud. The only way that this is gonna be stopped is with bullets. And yah, I said it.” - Rat King, filthy fucking nazi, Dec 2021.

King has been found guilty of five charges: two counts of disobeying a court order and one each of mischief, counselling to commit mischief and counselling to obstruct a public or peace officer.

He’s been found not guilty of four charges: three of intimidation and counselling to commit intimidation, and one of obstructing a public or peace officer. cbc yesterday

Piece of crap was smiling through all the “not guilties.” So brazen - I remember he even wore a Sons of Odin hoodie at his bail hearing back in '22.
