Thread on Bill #1 passed by UCP government--a government against its people.

1/ Finding more and more social media vilifying #GeorgeFloyd while simultaneously calling for “justice.” Whenever oppression is reasoned away as “the victim deserved it because of past choices” it takes us away from what actually happened.

Fun way to do some strategic mapping

As @TomLangeYYC points out - we need to make some policy and funding decisions based on solid evidence rather than ideology. Can we take time to pause and appraise the evidence?

Agreed, the company and the scenery is not quite the same from my basement.
