I can't help but thinking that Kimberly Rogers case, which , like Mike Harris, was unknown to me (probably), is going to echo here sooner or later, especially when it comes to trying to fix the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Obsession with micromanaging health and bodies is an underexamined pipeline to fascism
There has been a lot of talk about the 'Wellness to fascism' pipeline lately. I guess this is part of it.

I was behind a right cooker car yesterday. Lots of stickers on the back windscreen. I recall three: a vote no (I guessed on Aboriginal recognition but it was faded), one about protecting whales from offshore wind farms, and one promoting a site with "locked out" in the name.

No to offshore wind is a big astroturf movement here, not sure about Canada.
The website had music. It was terrible country music, including one song that riffed on "you can't welcome me to my country *boot-scooting*".

Apparently Fox has removed its stock ticker for reasons, and hospitals in Texas are getting kids with vitamin A toxicity and measles.

They really have started to reject reality and replace it with their own, and there more it happens the more it will spread.
