Just as floods in Lismore make home insurance in Sydney cost more. Fires in LA make Australian insurance more expensive too
The more coal &gas we export the more global warming we cause and the more our insurance will cost
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
San Francisco is messed up. Going into voluntary or involuntary treatment doesn't address poverty, and homelessness.
Sure sounds like a good start...maybe lots of graphics? Easily translated to other languages for our newcomers too.
Have to keep it simple
Adult education of the different levels of government and related responsibilities is so important I agree. The challenge will be how to engage the apathetic, the busy, the totally unengaged in any form of politics.
5) Following up on the promises made to address the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission
6) How to address the threats from the neighbour next door
So many more.....
The list will be so long imho
1) Homelessness
2) Healthcare
3) How to address the widening gap of the haves and the have not
4) Basic income implementation
I think that will be a very large map Brendon. Will it be broken down into individual sections, separate charts....addressing each level of government ?
Reminders of the beautiful colours of fall seen on my daily walk with my pupster this week. We are so fortunate to enjoy all 4 seasons here.

So will that help him qualify for a pension?
Criminalizing drug users has never worked. Prison is isn't about rehabilitation, it's about incarceration.
This approach has led to a revolving door of prison, parole violations, and overdose. We can't keep doing the same things over and over expecting a different result

I think putting in an interim leader with the calibre of a politician such as Anita Anand might be a good option (unless she is deciding to throw her hat in permanently for PM). It would let the dust settle for a few months and allow some breathing and thinking space for the libs.
This is the first thing I've written since moving to Bluesky that has gotten a loy of traction. It reallyshows how much of Twitter's engagement is actually entirely fake.
