So #Trudeau is using the power of the governed to... stand against minority groups whose beliefs that he as prime minister declares unacceptable. But he's only Othering minority groups (as fringe) who together speak to those in power that their overreach is harming the minority group.
"The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa who are holding unacceptable views... "
I have been mulling this over. Let's raise the stakes.
If Spotify doesn't remove people I neither listen to know know about, they can remove everything of mine from their platform and I'll close my account. Time to stake a stand.
I don't share my name here, but you'll be ahead of the news cycle and you'll know it's me when another threat to Spotify is announced, this time from a guy with neither a Spotify account, nor any library on Spotify.

Take a look at Canada right now. This is what "free healthcare" does to a country.

9News has a story about a possible source of the Marshall Fire
Apparently an abandoned coal mine in that area is burning underground. It apparently sparked a small fire in 2005 as well. Still being investigated.

Just saw the moon set over the front range, surprised my cell camera was able to get the moon so well, though it's very zoomed in. #photo

In 2021 I ran my first marathon exactly seven months after breaking my leg. The last five miles were very painful. I'd hate to be in that situation again...
So I'm leaning in. I've registered for my second marathon, four months from now, just finished the first week of training.

There's really no health incentive for someone healthy like me to get vaxxed, especially as the #Coronavirus gets less and less deadly.
I have the antibodies so I must have had it before. I didn't notice though, I wasn't sick. If you catch #COVID there's a high chance I won't get any symptoms, yet if I get vaxxed I now know for a fact I will get sicker than if I caught #COVID!
What's the point? We all know that getting vaccinated doesn't keep you from catching or spreading #COVID anyways.

I sure am glad this #Target is forcing me to slowly wither away due to dehydration rather than risking my health by drinking out of a water foundation

Don't blame the pandemic for what the government does to you
Blame corruption and incompetence for that
