Does anyone else find it incredibly disturbing how obsessed with our genitalia (and especially that of children) are PP and RepubliCONS federally and provincially across Canada? I certainly am disgusted. The sexual deviant Cons should be investigated for their appalling obsession. #canPoli#NeverVoteConservative
At current levels of inequality increase, the rich are getting richer so fast than in about 50-60 years, all human wealth will be owned by five people. I mean EVERYTHING, every inch of land, every hamburger, every blade of grass, every pair of socks, owned by five humans. No other human will own anything.
If this situation seems, um, a little unstable to you, well, the political parties that oppose it in North America are typically polling at about 5% and derided as socialist. #uspol#CanPoli

President Carter, now in his last days, home to be with his family as he passes, once personally saved Ottawa from a Nuclear Disaster, at risk, and cost, to his life, suffering from radiation poisoning all his life.
Canada had a Nuclear Accident in the 50s, asked the US for help, Lieutenant Jimmy Carter lead a team out of NY.
The future President Carter, had his team lower him into the reactor.
I had no idea. I have no idea why this isn't widely known
Vancouver Island University, my employer, is now threatening to remove the encampment and have people arrested. I'm absolutely sick.
I had corresponded with our President on May 1. I sent this to our Chancellor, Chair and President today.
Dear Chancellor Sayers, Chair Anderson, and President Saucier,
I am extremely concerned by the escalatory words and actions of VIU today given the encampment’s peaceful and respectful nature and disposition to date. The President has stated to me in her response quoted below on May 1 "that VIU’s approach to the encampment is based on respect and peace for protest and freedom of expression.”
The locking of all campus buildings today and the very clear threat by VIU Security (see attached noticed link) to have peace officers remove tents and equipment under the Trespass Act under threat of arrest is completely contradictory to the President’s statement and is exactly the approach that I flagged to the President as being extremely dangerous and likely to result in harm to the protesters and deep embarrassment to the University itself. There are peaceful ways to do this.
As an institution that is supposed to be fully immersed in the spirit and action of Truth and Reconciliation, I find these statements and actions to be horrendously contradictory, misguided, colonial, and dangerous.
As an individual employee, VIUFA faculty member, and member of this community on Snuneymuxw, Coast Salish and Nuuchanulth lands I am embarrassed, and I beg the University to reconsider and reverse its actions.
