When asked what haircut he wanted, Rain Epler — member of the Estonian parliament and former environment minister — simply answered ‘yes’.

The Tallinn taper, perhaps? 😆

I’ve noticed this too — most (but not all) fellow nuclear supporters I’ve encountered so far are male.

Without pandering to any inherently sexist arguments or claims, I’m genuinely curious as to why this is…why women tend to be more opposed…it honestly baffles me!

Despite loud disruptions & fireworks being set off, bylaw officers did not hand out a single ticket during this past weekend’s convoy anniversary protests.

And, yet, during trans rights & Palestinian peace protests, using a megaphone is enough to warrant a ticket…🤔

A hybrid nuclear-solar power plant design…very cool!

-even more efficient than nuclear alone
-makes solar part of baseload
-doesn’t need or use any batteries
-no fragile parts or materials that may limit service life: 60+ years!
-can replace coal plants

Can anyone recommend a Realtor in Victoria, BC? If we find a mobile home now or later in that area, I want to know we're contacting a Realtor we can trust.

Compare that to the millions of tons of toxic solar panel & wind turbine waste rotting away in dumps/landfills, all taking up 1000s of times more land (in destroyed habitats)

Not saying wind & solar are bad per se...just a lot more environmentally unfriendly than you'd think

Motion M-86 now in the House of Commons — see link further below

With enough grassroots pressure from us citizens now, a majority of MPs could be convinced to finally vote for action on electoral reform!

Contact your local one to help make this happen!

Absolutely terrible theology & terrible politics, rolled into one.

Ignorance of real theology and of political history come together in the fact that they don't recognize that Canada effectively is the result of Christian ideals: healthcare, social supports, everything that might be called the "welfare state" or "socialist" used to be provided by churches, now institutionalized under the state.

Yet these would-be Christian nationalists oppose that. Utter madness.
