Few truer words "Indeed, in times of intense polarization, support for one’s political team becomes paramount: Partisans pay little heed to the strengths and weaknesses of policies and arguments and instead simply prop up their ideology at all costs." vancouversun.com/opinion/op-ed/…
Every Christmas Eve, children in Netherlands visit a cemetery that holds the graves of Canadian soldiers who gave their lives to liberate the country in WW2. They light candles at every grave — all 1,393 of them. 🇳🇱🇨🇦

Recently, I read two lengthy (well reported and in-depth) stories / articles in the @globeandmail and thought to myself, “Where, outside of the @nytimes, do you get such fine writing / great reporting.” Made me feel better about my, now, $33.16 monthly #Globe subscription.

I had a fascinating series of discussion this weekend with a group of activists who have spent so much time in their echo chambers they have failed to keep up with what has been happening in the real world. They are intellectually unprepared for simple interactions #bcpoli
Same dynamic at play with Twitter. Most on here don't realize how caught up they are in the outrage, polarization, vitriol, etc defending their side or attacking, mocking others
The most damning thing Haugen said tonight, which might break through to the non-techy majority, is that FB changed its algorithm to serve up to its billions of users more angry, hateful content -- bc that pushed engagement, and profits, up. nytimes.com/2021/10/03/tec…
More right wing media bias? 👇 Less time on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and mindless TV news More time reading a full newspaper over days and weeks = less outrage, click bait and deeper understanding of issues, world
Dear Premier Jason Kenney: Resign. Sincerely, @garymasonglobe theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl… #ableg
Sooo tired of Canadians poisoned by American politics and Twitter that they are sounding like the poorly informed MAGA idiots when they blame CDN media rather than objectively consider issues setting aside partisanship
"Social media platforms like Twitter amplify expressions of moral outrage over time because users learn such language gets rewarded with an increased number of “likes” and “shares,” a new Yale University study shows.." news.yale.edu/2021/08/13/lik…

He’s a Liberal. No, YOU’RE a Liberal. Oh look there’s another Liberal. This is the culture of those intent on remaining in opposition. Using a word that describes ~35% of 🇨🇦, your neighbours and my mom, as a slur. And yes, it was dumb when we did it too. Do better. #cpcldr
They are suffering from tech poisoning, just not in the way they think. Social media plus no critical reasoning skills is its own pathological cocktail...
Langley, civic politics and BC diminished by your choice but your reasoning and priorities are spot on. Not never, just not now?
Some personal news at facebook.com/jordan.bateman…, for those wondering about my plans this fall... and for the next four years...
Just thinking aloud here about Bay du Nord… This is a really big deal. Seems to me the fed govt deserves a Kudos, even from Conservatives. You know, “Hey thanks. Well done!” But politics has gotten so hyper-partisan, we don’t give credit where due anymore. Need to fix this.
When Estonia -a NATO nation with a population the size of Calgary- contributes $200m more in lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine than Canada, we have a problem. We must do better. Powerful piece from @IvisonJ today. nationalpost.com/news/politics/…
