I would argue that similar tech in our lives causes similar issues. We don’t write things down anymore - just scroll on, with a fragmented mish-mash memory of what we’ve seen. Some capacity for retention gets exhausted in a given day. Just what I’ve observed in myself or among friends/family.

Why are we so bad at dealing with foreign interference, and our own citizens who collude?

The treaties are broken, purposely, and serve to keep First Nations people under the boot. Trudeau also denied there is structural racism problem in Canada, while the RCMP were harassing First Nation peoples over fishing quotas (this is a few years ago now). Can’t imagine Carney being any better.

Canada has no legitimate rule over nor ownership of First Nation people. It is not Canada’s place to say “mind your own business”.

As usual, the EU and Canada are talking over the heads of First Nations people. These are the first people who should be asked. Also, dear Canadians, please read this book to become a better settler:

Very interesting and credible. I recognise the hypervigilance part, and it sounds like there’s some practice/training as well as “instinct” in there too.

I’m relieved to hear that. I’m thinking back about the times where I might have missed something like that. Not a comfortable thought. Thanks for the reply!

That is absolutely terrifying. Good instincts on your part. I’m assuming/hoping she was okay?

That was a terrifying read, but thanks for sharing. I’d like to be able to spot it.

The entire IDF and vast majority of Israeli’s are gleefully behind the genocide and abuse. Why just sanction one person?

ISTG they’ll probably roll this back soon and say they’ve decided to just sanction his glasses /s.

On Monday, she also announced the creation of a “reconciliation fund” to compensate the victims, as well as other Greenlanders who suffered discrimination because of their Inuit heritage.

Looks like it.
