“Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.”
“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”
-George Bernard Shaw
The last conservative government silenced the government scientists from discussing climate change and destroyed decades of research as they didn’t believe in it and it didn’t fit their Alberta oil jobs first objectives.
We are looking at another Conservative government coming our way again in the next year and it’s going to be a super shit storm when our Cons and the US Cons are firing on all cylinders destroy everything they don’t like or believe in. I fear it’s going to take decades again to come back on the science again.
There are social media videos I seen where the cheaper brands of ice cream no longer melt, even after days of sitting on the counter. Same for the cheap ice cream sandwiches. Days and they don’t lose their shape.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they no longer need refrigeration beyond the preference of enjoying it cold versus warm.
Many parts of the EU often has North American travellers amazed how well they feel while eating *there during their vacations and how awful they feel when coming back to the north American diet. What’s a few chemicals many will say.
It just seems everything from bread to pasta, dairy, meat, desserts etc doesn’t seem to make you feel as awful as north American food can.
I love *Haagen Dazs vanilla bean ice cream. It’s not the cheapest but it’s one of the cleanest I can find among the big brands. Walmart etc usually has it the cheapest.
I have to admit this caught me off guard when I saw many of them celebrating on SM.
We went through this in Canada too with the last Conservative government. They muzzled the government scientists and destroyed the research they had been collecting for decades. We are looking at a return to this in the next election cycle. Most people don’t remember or care.
At some point it’s going to be like that Wall-E movie where the large corporations in charge keep promising a better world while destroying it in the process for more profits and the Sheeple will just baaah the latest Qanon talking point they heard.
That also seems like 6 years ago before Covid
