Last Notes npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 If only Carney had the courage to say something like this on behalf of Canadians... Prime Minister Sanchez of Spain: “Because the question is not whether or not we are in favour of the Ayatollahs. No one is. Certainly not the Spanish people and of course not the Spanish government. The question, rather, is whether or not, we are on the side of international law and therefore, of peace.” instead we get waffling and backtracking. #IranUSAIsraelWar #España #Spain #Canada #CanPoli #CdnPoli https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/system/media_attachments/files/116/172/737/522/546/869/original/16e335f68e6f6d05.mp4 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 *THIS* is very concerning. Pakistan (which is already engaged in hostilities with another neighbour, Afghanistan) has 'reminded' Iran that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have a mutual defence pact. #IranUSIsraelWar #Pakistan #MiddleEast https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/iran-war-us-israel-trump-03-03-26?post-id=cmmaocyib00153b6y2i66jv4d npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 It's official! This Sunday will be the last "leap forward" in BC! As of next November, the Vancouver time zone in British Columbia, Canada will be referred to as "Pacific Time" and will be -7GMT permanently. (same as Yukon Territory which did this 2 years ago) The presser was pretty cute actually. They had kids with little clocks, and they danced. I would have preferred staying at Standard Time, but this will be ok too. It's interesting that Premier Eby made a point of (gently, as there were kids) insisting the delay of 6 years since the overwhelming survey response from British Columbians to eliminate the time change was due to waiting for the US West Coast states to do the same. Now, BC has decided to push, and to lead by example. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-adopting-year-round-daylight-time-9.7111657 #BCPoli #DST #PacificTime #TimeChange #California #Oregon #Yukon #WashingtonState npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 I came across this short from Ryan McBeth, he has good information about how misinformation and foreign actors influence social media.

In terms of “sexy shit” that is one of the most subdued family friendly performances in the history of the Super Bowl. And does’t Mr. Bunny make a specific point to say that women can do and dance and dress however they like because they have the power not him or any man. 👍 I wish I understood more. But it was great. And I got the sugar cane reference at least. Big enough reference to drive a truck through. 😂 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 It's wild that Norway is effectively at 100% *today* and Canada/Carney is trying to tell us 70% in 10 years is good enough. It's a failure for affordability and climate. It's a huge win for oil companies and American automakers. #CanPoli #CdnPoli #EV #Canada #USA #Automotive #Affordability #CostofLiving #ClimateChange #EndFossilFuels https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/livestory/canada-national-auto-strategy-9.7075235 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 @nprofile…3zg0 @nprofile…v5kx fully hear that. the BS electronics are wholly unnecessary and superfluous to the functioning of the car.

The land is owned by the public in perpetuity. "It's for everyone.” Houses and buildings are on an allotment on top of the land. So that's an interesting block to Trump's naked greed. Also... "We don't really value cash, Kardashian lips, or fake boobs very highly”. So there's that.

Highly recommend Canadians watch this. My only complaint and comment completely selfishly, is the absence of Canada 🇨🇦 in the discussion. I have to say I am feeling more than a little apprehensive, even isolated. I know Canada is not exactly pulling its weight and won’t be a major player in whatever Europe needs to do to secure itself in a post-NATO reality. But I am definitely left wondering and more than a little worried…. What the heck is Canada going to do? We border Greenland. We are deeply connected to Ukraine socially. We have a force in Latvia. Anders, if you have thoughts on this, I would be interested, as would others.

The "payment" is an admijistrative obligation to maintain the state. It has nothing to do with the sovereignty of the nation of Greenland and should not be treated as such.

Just noticed an Air Canada Jazz flight from Vancouver to Winnipeg (JZA7110). That's about 1900km. I look because turbo-props like the DH8 (aka Q400) are more fuel efficient and have lower CO2 emissions than jets. They also fly lower, generally around 20 - 25,000ft, so lessen the stratospheric pollution vs. 30-40,000ft. https://www.flightradar24.com/JZA7110/3dcc6217 #ClimateAction #CarbonEmissions #Flying #Bombardier #DeHavilland #Dash8 #flying npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 wild 🚆 https://mastodon.social/@onthisday/115849561587566769 npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 @nprofile…ywj0 awesome. neat to think of all students heading out everywhere! npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 Sending the daughter off to a semester in Ireland today 🇮🇪 Pretty exciting. 😬 🍀 #university #life npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 It’s about damn time. #canada #denmark #nato #arctic #greenland #sovereignty #usa #uspoli #theAmericanFascist https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mxc7liuon6iq5gzapmmwkq22/post/3mbrde6ali22u npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 I don’t try to cultivate a big follower list, I didn’t do that on Twitter, and don’t do it here. Regardless, in 3 years on Mastodon, I have managed to nearly double the number of followers that I had on Twitter. So that’s cool. Thanks. :) I don’t really understand why that result is different as the way I interact is basically the same… following people that follow me and vice versa. And occasionally, a yearly basis?, I find myself unfollowing people and resources for various reasons. On Twitter, the unfollowing was mostly because so many accounts seemed to be fake or bots. But here it is more about curation. It is so much easier to get good content on the Fediverse from many vectors, people yes, but also hashtags, lists, federated blogs, aggregators, and the like. Following people is less crucial. It is an under appreciated advantage of the Fediverse and #opensocial web that starts to break what I feel is one of the most destructive aspects of traditional social media I call: The Illusion of Popularity From adolescence we are often taught that being universally “followed” or “admired” for good or ill means you have more worth. But is that really true? In Real Life, is a person with one good friend automatically better than one with many friends? Or is it more about your impact in the community or just impact on yourself and those you choose to interact with? Afterall there is nothing wrong with cultivating your own obscurity. Some people seek that out. Perhaps, if the #opensocialweb is truly successful, there will be little nooks and crannies of it that will host those folks who just want to… be. Introverts, hermits, lurkers, “the silent masses”….whatever you might label them, there is nothing wrong with them, they just are. Traditional social media was built to convince us that everyone has to be important, an influencer, a leader, when many many of us, just want to be. I hope the #Fediverse can be a place where both of those types of people can thrive. #socialmedia #followers #following #values npub1s7nhluzurd2yt323smshmvfk4pnrd2dg6lsytk492f3g37yjh84qacs6hm Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸 “Alberta's Danielle Smith says Maduro capture outlines urgency of West Coast pipeline” no.
