Oh, Canada... please get serious about Wood Buffalo National Park 🎝🎝🎝

And, while you're at it, please stop calling it Wood Buffalo... there are no indigenous buffalo in Canada, only bison... so let's rename the park Wood Bison National Park.

Anyone even remotely interested in environmental issues cannot help but be deeply disappointed with Canada's thus far weak-kneed commitments to save the almost 45,000 square kilometers of grasslands, wetlands, and waterways, the world's only breeding ground for endangered whooping cranes and home to the world's largest herd of free-ranging wood bison (please, not buffalo).

Hitler a nice guy?? Soldiers of Odin not a threat??

Pay attention to these comments by the local RCMP detachment extracted from the above CBC News report: 
"Over the year that they've been operating in Alberta, there has been no indication of any kind of criminal element associated [with] that group." 
"There also has been no criminal element associated with the self-proclaimed members that are within Dawson Creek right now."

Also, according to the article, community leaders have been silent and the City's response is evolving.

I highlighted the RCMP extractions from the news report to make the following point: 
To me, what they are saying is there was no criminal element associated with groups like Nazis or ISIS.
NO! because they were/are the criminal element just as groups like The Soldiers of Odin are the criminal element. Remain vigilant, people of Dawson Creek, people of Alberta, people of Canada, people of the world. Don't get caught in the slick propaganda traps of these inherently violent and dangerous racist groups.

Read about Odin. Ask yourself why this group identifies as Soldiers of Odin? Form your own opinion.

"As a war-god, Odin is principally concerned not with the reasons behind any given conflict or even its outcome, but rather with the raw, chaotic battle-frenzy (one of the primary manifestations of óðr) that permeates any such struggle."

Silk Stalkings??

My view: Installing Stalkerware should be illegal. Violators: individuals and manufacturers should be liable for invasion of privacy, harassment, and in extreme cases, assault causing bodily harm and possibly murder.
My question: Why do police refuse to investigate complaints? Why do we not mandate police investigation?

The s**t hits the fan on Fifth Avenue.

Yesterday, a damning tape of a disgusting conversation between DT and BB hit the TV airwaves. DT's camp says Muslims, Migrants, Media, and, oh yes, Misogynism are to blame.

Pickpockets!

Employers who don't pay their employees a living wage or fail to provide health benefits are sticking their hands into our pockets. We the people make up the difference.

Loopy

Remember, every dollar not paid in taxes because of loopholes is another dollar we the people have to pony up. 

GOP and WAR

If McCain, Bolton, and Cruz wannabes and think-a-likes ran this country, we'd be up to our asses in war faster than you can say WMD and Niger yellow cake.

CRIMEA?

Is it one letter too many, or is it one letter short of a word jumble for a great country? For sure, it is a disaster of diplomacy.
