Jason James on Twitter re Food Banks In Calgary Alberta

 


Out of curiosity I stopped at the Calgary food bank yesterday and spoke to somebody who works there. I wanted to get an idea of who they're seeing come in since the parking lot was packed with newer model SUV's and even luxury vehicles. I was surprised when she told me it's mostly new immigrants with jobs who appear to be financially secure. She said they come to the food bank as an alternative to buying groceries simply because it's available to them. She has grown extremely frustrated with the situation but is barred from turning anybody away. There are still many, many people in Canada who need access to the food bank and those who don't are clogging up the system. Apparently food bank recipients can select the food donated to them and because these new immigrants have cars they arrive before the people who actually need it and end up taking the better quality food. The girl I spoke with is an immigrant herself and is disgusted with the behavior she's seeing. It's infuriating to know this is happening. I'm not anti-immigration by any means but we have to draw the line somewhere. I didn't read this dogshit Global article but I can guarantee it's a smear piece to make Alberta and Danielle Smith look like a bunch of racist rednecks. But that couldn't be further from the truth. We have a serious problem here and we have to find a way to fix it asap."

Policy Horizons... Horizons Canada - Twitter - BiodigitalConvergence 2022

 

"Foreword

The COVID-19 pandemic is proving to be a powerful driver of change. It is spurring biodigital innovations such as nearly real-time biosurveillance of virus spread and mutations; virus tracking via smartphone; and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine development at unprecedented speed. Biodigital convergence, the merging of biological systems and digital technologies, is challenging the way we understand ourselves and the world in which we live.

Building on our first report, Exploring Biodigital Convergence, this report lays out some of the changes we might see as the biodigital convergence matures and gives rise to new realities. It explores the potential impact of biodigital convergence on sectors such as health, food and agriculture, the environment, manufacturing, and security. It could have implications across many policy areas: global trade, healthcare, the shift to a low-carbon economy, natural resource management, and many more.

Policy Horizons Canada (Policy Horizons) does not provide policy recommendations or advice. Guided by its mandate, it explores what might happen in the future policy landscape, to help the Government of Canada develop future-oriented policy and programs, and to prepare for possible radical and disruptive change.

We hope you will find this report insightful and thought-provoking. By reflecting on what might happen, we can support Canadians and decision makers in considering which futures we want and which ones we want to avoid.

On behalf of Policy Horizons Canada, I would like to thank those who generously shared their time, knowledge, and thoughts with us.

Kristel Van der Elst

Director General,
Policy Horizons Canada"

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN - Peter B on Twitter

 


"Petey B
To whom it may concern, There is a small town on the North Fork of Long Island in New York called Greenport. It’s wine country and has been booming for the last couple of decades and really exploded during Covid. Always used to be filled with bachelorette parties, families and people looking to eat farm to table. The chart on Greenport is a straight shot to the moon. Better than bitcoin. I’m an investor in neighboring towns, so I know it well. It’s a Greek / American hotspot as many of our family members brought the town to prominence. The last couple of summers and especially this one the locals have been complaining that it’s been quiet. Restaurant owners wondering where the people are. Stores closing at weird hours. Empty streets, piers, parks, carousels and empty retail stores. I walk around often and have seen the businesses suffering, tourists lacking and the streets not filled with laughter. You know why? Because in a 4-5 block radius in the town I saw over 20 pride flags 🏳️‍🌈 Some stores draped in them, but nobody is shopping, eating or drinking. Yet they still ask what’s happening, Couldn’t be more obvious to a father. As a father of three, I can tell you parents who have visited one time, won’t be back. Why would they, and I don’t blame them. Why am I here? Cause I own properties. Otherwise I wouldn’t. It’s become perverted and desolate. Like a cult has taken over. Greenport won’t recover unless the American flags rise and families see that and come back. You gay? Lesbian? That’s cool, do your thing. You have sexualized the town and now the money is going elsewhere. People just want a coffee, sushi, a steak, a muffin and some ice cream. They don’t care about who you sleep with, and to constantly explain to their kids what’s happening. Everyone is going places where they can just be normal and have fun. There are tons of towns like this across the USA close to big cities. They come because of how awesome conservatives made them, and destroy them for nobody to care again. Sincerely, A Logical Father & business man."
