I listened to a podcast a couple of months ago that was about some international agreement that got rid of a bunch of pollution that was going to make this year MUCH warmer.
I'll find it if anyone's interested.

Exactly. All we can do is try to improve.
Southern Ontario checking in. We did that too. 'Gyped' and 'indian giver' were also things.
Although, I had an indigenous friend one summer who quickly became popular because he was very funny. He used to use slurs against all of the white kids all of the time. It was the most effective anti racist tactic I've ever witnessed. None of us were comfortable using a lot of the slurs that were baked into our culture, unless it was with our friend and a smile.
When Harper was still in power, the Canadian government had a deal where the oil companies would get subsidized until the oil sands were profitable.
So Canada was giving the oil companies billions.
I'm putting on my tinfoil hat now.
Trudeau rushed to buy the pipeline when it was canceled. Is that because the oil sands can't be profitable without the pipeline, and this deal is bleeding Canada dry?

I grew up just outside south Detroit. Those network television shows were nuts. It was the 90s. Crime was everywhere in Detroit. This was the era of hundreds of buildings being burned on devils night, and every single crime was done by the same guy. I remember his description clearly. 5'9-6'. Short hair. Between the ages of 20-35.
I often forget that DNA evidence has been much more important regarding wrongful conviction than any other facet.
Ethylene glycol.
It's toxic to mammals.

What's the ratio of active to lurker user on fediverse users?
Hi, if you're in Canada, I'd be happy to lend you an ear. Everybody's valuable and I'd be sad if there was indication that you'd followed through.
Feel free to pm me as well. All the best
Fascism doesn't exist without capitalism. There's been vicious and authoritarian socialist/communist states, but not fascist
