Does anyone know if our government will be hiring more food import inspectors?
Asking for Canadians aware that Brainworm Bobby is preparing to "give infectious diseases an 8 year break" and will be firing everyone in the FDA.
I am not looking forward to a large helping of bird flu, salmonella or listeria ....to name a few...
Perhaps now is a really good time to plan to buy local and learn to can food during the season.

Corporate surveillance and online spooks
"There is a whole industry engaged in suppressing those who threaten corporate profits through seeking transparency and accountability.
In a recent newsletter, The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN), informed its network of a global independent media investigation uncovering a “massive international corporate operation of undercover activities” that downplays the risks of pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and designed to discredit environmentalists in Africa, Europe and North America.

👉 "The new shot is not available for purchase on the private market, according to the province."
"According to Castillo, Alberta emergency rooms saw an influx of very sick children two years ago during a particularly bad RSV season. She too is calling on the Alberta government to make the new injection available and to pay for it."
"While premature babies and those with specific health conditions are at higher risk, RSV can also affect healthy infants, according to Castillo."

So please do not be dismissive when I say we have the same political problems and now it will be even worse since Trump won. The Trump win has emboldened our freaking Conservative Party Maple MAGAs and their supporters.

Yup. A friend of mine today said, "What am I going to do during the holidays? More than half my family would have voted for Trump" (canadian)
I said: "Past time to make your stand. You married into a multi-racial family who obviously are not welcome in their homes (the trumpsters homes, that is). Tell them to F-off and make your own holiday tradition. Invite all your loved ones, family and friends and celebrate the true meaning of the holiday season. Do Not go into their homes because you will be miserable and you giving their lack of morals a nod of consent if you do go there"

"The Ukrainian Embassy in Canada is launching events to shed light on Russian disinformation tactics. Ukrainian Consul General in Toronto, Oleh Nikolenko, emphasizes the need for heightened awareness to counteract Russian influence on Canadian society. "
"The official said that particular attention will be given to the methods Russia uses to manipulate media narratives and undermine democratic principles."
"Previously, Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly spoke out against the illegal activities of the Russian state media RT, aimed at weakening allied support for Ukraine."

👋
I need advice from someone who has worked in cybersecurity please...?
(please don't ask personal info because I won't reveal it)
My problem is this:
I have been dealing with one financial institution for many years. Recently they merged with another, set up a new website,and since then every single time I log onto their website I get error messages then locked out and have to call their head office and they give me a temp code to reset my entire account log in info, PAC and security questions.
For months they have been saying it's because their website is new and there are bugs/glitches.
Today, I insisted they do something after it happened again and they said they don't know why this is occurring but they will get IT to look into it. (I am still waiting for a reply but not holding my breath)
I am VERY careful not to make typos when logging in. My passwords are very complicated and long, and *never* a *word*.
I know the phone number I am calling is to their office, not some scammer.
My computer is NOT "registered" with them, because I am too worried someone might get into it, so I have to answer a security question each time I log in.
There has been no unexplained movement/changes in my account.
This is the only website I have trouble logging into.
Have you heard of anyone having a similar issue ?
Thank you for your time and assistance.

:ablobwave:
I think most people on this platform have the same social/political goal, to make life better, more stable, inclusive and with compassion more caring, and many of us are feeling a huge loss.
Think about this:
Is this loss not unlike losing a family member or best friend?An important election was lost, and with it many hopes and dreams.
I am seeing
Denial, "I can't believe this happened"
Rage, "IT is the fault of _<insert whatever or whomever here>
Bargaining, "Well, if we do this___this___should happen"
Depression: "I just can't go on."
But I am not see much Acceptance yet.
Also I am seeing people demanding CWs, use of hashtags, "Don't post about ___!"
Maybe Americans and some others need to be allowed to simply vent for a couple of days without worrying about rules and limitations.
Could we just let them sort through their grief, please, let's have a little tolerance and compassion because this is the platform that is supposed to be designed to be different form all others.
Thanks for listening to my thoughts.
I hope you have a good night, or day...

Normally I don't watch TV however, I was helping an elderly neighbour by adjusting their digital clocks and he had his tv turned on.
Trump commercials were playing and it blew me away the absolute BS his campaign was producing.
I turned to the gentleman and said,
"I hope you don't believe this propaganda!"
He looked at me and replied:
"I wish Trump was dying in prison and that's too good for him"
I walked away thinking if this 90+ year old man can figure it out, then there is hope for the US .

CCLA [Canadian Civil Liberties Association] Condemns Government of Ontario's
Proposal to Imprison the Innocent
"Ontario’s proposal to eliminate bail in all cases for certain offences is a direct attack on due process and a violation of the #Charter.
A charge is not a conviction. This proposal would send innocent people to jail for years for crimes they did not commit.
To be clear: #Ontario is proposing that a person with no criminal record facing a weak case should now be sent directly to jail until a trial takes place – a process that could take up to three years.
As the recent acquittal of Umar Zameer on murder charges made clear, even a serious charge can rest on flimsy evidence and result in an acquittal.
It is also deeply concerning that #Police associations have publicly endorsed the government’s call for the suspension of Charter rights for people in #Canada

Human Rights Act and anti-trans legislation have sparked additional concerns.
Many of these measures were left out of the UCP’s 2023 election platform, raising questions as to their origins. While much has been made about her borrowing pages from the Quebec playbook, Smith’s idealization of #Republican policy in the United States may provide additional clues as to the source of the #UCP’s policies.
In a 2023 speech,👉 Smith praised Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and projected Alberta as a “little bastion of freedom” in the same vein.
Policy diffusion occurs when ideas, practices or innovations spread from one government or jurisdiction to another. In January, for instance, Republican Gov. Spencer Cox signed the Utah Constitutional Sovereignty Act, a bill that is almost identical to the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act (2022).
...represents a broader transformation toward a brand of right-wing populism that undermines liberal democratic norms by reducing local autonomy, curtailing academic freedom and concentrating authority in the political executive.
If similar moves at the federal level may be labelled the presidentialization of the prime ministership, Smith’s actions can be considered an attempt to turn her own office into that of a U.S. governor. "

And #Alberta continues its slow march into the dark ages.
Plague for you🖕 and plague for You👉 brought to you by Danielle Smith along with a goodly dose of hypocrisy!
#Vaccines, #Guns and #Trans Rights
"Proposed changes to the Alberta Bill of Rights would allow a worker to take a provincial employer to court if the employee is subject to a vaccination requirement.
"No one should be pressured into accepting any medical treatment without their full consent, including a vaccine," Premier Danielle Smith said at a news conference Monday prior to the introduction of Bill 24, the Alberta Bill of Rights Amendment Act.
If passed, Bill 24 would protect a person from being coerced into receiving medical care, treatment or a procedure — but not if "that individual is likely to cause substantial harm to themselves or others," a briefing document on the bill says.
Vaccination would be an exception, according to officials. If the bill passes as written, 👉 no one could force a person to be vaccinated 👉 to prevent harm to themselves or others."
Amery said the bill is worded to allow law enforcement to continue to apprehend people under the Mental Health Act.
The legislation would also allow officials to force an adult who has lost decision-👉 making capacity into addictions treatment. The government has signalled so-called "compassionate intervention" legislation is coming.
The government is expected to table three bills in the fall sitting that will limit trans rights."

Dear Climate Change deniers:
here's proof climate change is real- you no longer can go skiing in the Alps because there's not enough snow and artificial snow simply melts.
"With ski resorts closing due to climate change and uncertain snow cover, Eloise Barker says you shouldn’t abandon the slopes – but instead adapt to them "

🇨🇦
Federal government:
"Hi provinces! Our winters can be harsh and we have many homeless living on the streets so here we are giving you financial help to house these people so they won't die out in the cold."
Conservative premiers in Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan:
"What? Can't hear you! Besides, it we can't risk taking money from the feds and making them look good. WE MUST OWN THE LIBS! We will NOT concern ourselves with people dying in the snow! "
Conservative Premiers call local police and RCMP:
"Just make sure the bodies don't clutter up the doorways or sidewalks in front of businesses! Move them out of town!"

The US is nearing a most important election and every American is on edge, their nerves taught, wound up tighter than a drum skin.
Many people around the world are feeling the same.
Remember to take a moment,
perhaps right now,
And mentally stand aside,
take a deep breath in,
hold it for a couple of seconds,
then
slo-o-o-o-o-wly exhale.
Let your muscles relax. Repeat.
Remember to breathe.
Sounds silly, eh? It isn't ...
When stressed, we often forget to simply breathe.
