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.

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.

Hard to believe the followers are down with makeup.

 
 
 
 

On another episode, the show welcomed blacklisted folk singer Pete Seeger — he’d been banned from television for years. He sang his “Waist Deep in the Big Muddy,” a song widely understood to ridicule President Lyndon Johnson for the Vietnam War. CBS refused to air the segment, but Tom and Dick brought Seeger back and he sang it again, this time making the air. Segments like these, along with others poking fun at religion, racism and the establishment, led to CBS giving the brothers the ax.

The song started out with clips from other US war protest songs going back to the 1800s: https://youtu.be/qHETC5qAnqo?si=7OIaA0nxsy3h0rlH
