This is an easy solve. Just put an 'Alberta First' or similar sticker on all the books you want to not be banned, since those jags have 'Absolute Freedom of Speech' according to dear leader.

Can we have a new word that combines sarcastic and angry? Maybe our german friends can help us out?

    I feel they would rather us slowly starve to death, or aphixiated by smoke, in small manageable packets than be roused all at once to action. All hail netflix and doordash, the bane of revolution!

    And don't think I ascribe any higher status to myself. I am only another fool shouting into the wind, paralyzed, and unable to gather the mental resources to act.

    Some do act, I think, build revolution, and fight their way out of comfort to face the hard shapes of reality where the battle must be taken, but I cannot imagine such a person. What do they feel? How were they raised to be this way?

    I got a metal pipe from a chain link fence I was tearing down and used some scrap lumber for a frame. It isn't perfect, but I'm not that handy or picky.

    Places that pre-fab houses/ trailers/ pallets often have a free bin where you can get shorter pieces of lumber. Maybe some equivalent for metal bars or pipes (welding shops? fencing companies? Plumbing or gas fitting? Places where site / building demo is happening).

    Where I live it is illegal to take things from the landfill and they are quite well monitored.

    I think Canada Post should be doing some kind of hyper-secure electronic messaging service for canadians, and also maybe internet for everyone as a utility, not selling random loose goods. Like, if a sci-fi writter from the 1800s imagined what a post office from the 2800s would be doing.

    What a poor broken person. I support helping individuals like this by helping rid them of their unhealthy obsessions, removing them from the psychologically damaging effects of the public spotlight, and giving them tasks and goals in a controlled safe space so that they can achieve happiness without harming themselves or others.

    This existed well before Friday. My doctor recommended I pay to get a quicker scan last year. I'm not sure of the exact details since I didn't do it.

    I won't say I'm not tight with cash, which factored into the decision, but I also really hate this fall into private health care and don't want to support that. I was told it would be about $400 for a private MRI.
