I studied in Montreal and I left the country a long time ago. Yet I still pay close attention to Canadian politics. Because I really want to see Canada improve.
How can I say this without offending anyone?
I feel I can speak my mind bluntly precisely because I am a foreigner.
Brutal truth
Many Alberta politicians act like absolute cunts.
Alberta is one of the Jewels of Canada. It was named after Princess Louise Alberta, the favorite daughter of Queen Victoria, it's a province that was blessed with great beauty and enormous ressources.
In 1974, the New York Times reported the province has SO MUCH money it doesn't know what to do with it:
ALBERTA FLOODED WITH OIL REVENUEAt time when most governments at every level, are struggling hard to stay solvent, Alberta, which produces 83 per cent of Canada'' oil, has more money than it knows what to do with.
nytimes.com/1974/10/13/archive…
Yet all I hear is constant whining, whining, whining, whining, whining. Why?
According to Statistics Canada, under Justin Trudeau, Alberta reached the highest oil production levels in history. In fact, Justin Trudeau opened a brand new pipeline:
For the fourth consecutive year, production of crude oil and equivalent products reached a record high, up 4.3% from 2023 to 298.8 million cubic metres in 2024.The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion began operation in May 2024, providing Alberta crude oil with increased access to Pacific Ocean terminals and markets abroad.
statcan.gc.ca/o1/en/plus/7940-…
Despite this, all I keep hearing from Alberta politicians is how evil Justin oppressed/raped/humiliated working ordinary Albertans folks. This is insane.
One of the responsibility of having enormous natural ressources is managing sustainably to ensure the next generations can live in a good environment.
Yet Alberta politicians just keep whining about environmental rules. If they want their constituents to have cancer because of heavy metals from fracking and mining, if they want Alberta lakes and rivers polluted by plastics, I honestly don't give a damn.
The core issue is these Alberta corrupt politicians seem determined to blow up the planet, claiming there is no alternative. Fort McMurray burned the fuck down. Jasper burned the fuck down. But clearly the Alberta political leaders learned nothing from it.
Alberta has produced many great artists, historians, authors, scientists. They gave Canada many great figures. I hope that one day, they take back their province from these crooks. They deserve so much better than their current dumbass leaders. I believe Alberta should aim to be like mini-Norway.
Norwegians heavily tax oil and don't let filthy rich Oil CEOs get away with murder. Norway has an investment fund to support the next generations. But they are extremely environmentally conscious. Norway invests heavily in electric cars, public transit, and takes strong measures against plastic pollution. It would be very sad if Albertan leaders led their province to become like so many ressource-rich failed states
For the fourth consecutive year, production of crude oil and equivalent products reached a record high, up 4.3% from 2023 to 298.8 million cubic metres in 2024.www.statcan.gc.ca
Bro it's not just their politicians, most Albertans are huge ignorant cunts.
Oh wait most Canadians that fall into conservative ideas.
I don't know what that looks like, exactly, except that the same things are always true-- relationships are the core unite of changemaking, as @zteutsch.bsky.social puts it. grassroots organizing is always the way. We gotta build coalitions, build movements, build things that grow and last.

Why is Redis just the absolute best glue between processes? Surely Linux/Unix has something just as good? But in my experience, there's literally nothing better for communicating between processes.
Don't get me wrong, I love Redis, but I just wonder why the best solution ended up being a memory based database and not something in the operating system itself.
Good question. I think it has to be convenience, flexibility, and having it separate from the system that is the draw.
There are other mechanisms, but they come with different persistence (maintenance) concerns and aren't as portable.

When Microsoft locked an ICC prosecutor out of their email, it proved just how easily U.S. power can reach across borders and into the heart of global justice, writes Paul Budde.
THE RECENT INCIDENT involving Microsoft and the International Criminal Court (ICC) should send a chill down the spine of every democratic nation.
Following a sanctions order from White House, Microsoft locked ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan out of his enterprise-level Office 365 account.
That account wasn’t personal — it was part of the ICC’s institutional infrastructure.
And just like that, an American tech giant disabled access to a key international legal actor.
...
What’s worse is the normalisation of it all. We scroll past headlines like “Microsoft cuts #ICC access” and carry on with our day. The sociologist Alexei Yurchak coined a term for this: hypernormalisation — the idea that everyone knows the system is broken, but we all pretend things are normal because no one can imagine how to change them..."

By 6:30 PM, after six major assaults, the Confederates held the blood-soaked Wheatfield.
At the peach orchard along the Emmitsburg Road, McLaws’ Confederate division targeted Sickles’ III Corps. Barksdale’s Mississippians and Kershaw’s South Carolinians charged, shattering Graham’s brigade with rifle volleys and cannon fire. By 6:00 PM, Hill’s corps, including Anderson’s division, joined, overwhelming Humphreys’ Union line.
Sickles’ corps crumbled, with Sickles wounded and his men retreating toward Cemetery Ridge. The collapse exposed the Union center, but Confederate momentum slowed, unable to exploit the breach fully as dusk approached.
As Devil’s Den fell, Hood’s Confederates eyed Little Round Top, which was key to the Union left. Col. Strong Vincent’s brigade, including Col. Joshua L. Chamberlain’s 20th Maine, raced to hold the hill.

Victor Davis Hanson:
The Trump Deranged “Experts” Were Wrong. Again.
President Donald Trump’s track record flies in the face of conventional wisdom from so-called “experts”— but they will be the last to admit it.
Since his second inauguration, the “experts” have been relentless in their mission to minimize the Trump administration’s efforts with the economy, immigration, Iran, and beyond.
Meanwhile, the stock market has soared. There were ZERO illegal border crossings in May, according to CBP. Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was left severely damaged without the threat of war on the horizon. All this, thanks to the decisive and, at times controversial, actions taken by the Trump administration.
Despite these verifiable results,
@VDHanson
argues that much of the elite resistance to Trump stems not from data, but from disdain. And that bias has blinded them to basic common sense. He breaks it down on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“Donald Trump is pretty commonsensical. If you take a million people away that were working in the shadows at cheaper wages and hurting American job opportunities and you make countries that had asymmetrical tariffs and were responsible for a $1.1 trillion trade deficit and you can stop that and they still want entry into the American market, then you can have an economic renaissance.
“You should try to shed your Trump Derangement Syndrome because it's really affecting your powers of judgment and analysis. And you're going to lose readers. You are so wedded to the idea that Donald Trump is going to destroy the United States because of your personal animus, you cannot see that most people have commonsense solutions.”

Hurricane Science Was Great While It Lasted
Known as the Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder, or SSMIS, it rides on a series of satellites and allows forecasters to see a storm’s structure, which might otherwise be invisible. The Hurricane Hunter planes that fly into storms can also be used to generate three-dimensional storm images, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is responsible for hurricane forecasting, has only two of those aircraft. They can’t be everywhere at once. With the SSMIS, forecasters had an autonomous, powerful eye in the sky. But now the Department of Defense says it will cease processing and distributing the crucial imagery from this sensor at the end of this month. Losing these views threatens the National Hurricane Center’s ability to see what’s forming.

Hitler was using the concentration camps to house those he planned to put to death.
The US is housing invaders who could, under international law, be shot on sight. Instead, we are housing them while awating deportation hearings. Seems rather civil.
