Feeling a bit of outrage fatigue. I know UCP likes to make digs about ‘the angry left’ (ie everyone who doesn’t support them or believe their lies), and maybe they’re trying to bombard us with their screw-ups until we’re numb to it all, but it’s ALL justified. 1/11

While we’ve been watching Kenney immolate what’s left of his credibility as a ‘leader’ over this Keystone XL debacle, it’s easy to forget that it’s only 10 days since we found out about the veto AIMCo will have over ATRF’s direction on how to invest hijacked pension funds. 2/11
It’s only 3 weeks since Kenney first tried to absolve his MLAs of blame in their hypocritical Christmas vacations, and less than that since he kicked a minister out of cabinet and another MLA out of caucus. 9 of them travelled. 5/11
It was only last week that teachers and students went back into the classroom, and amid all the rest of this, it has barely made a ripple in the news that there are *hundreds* of new covid cases in schools, and *dozens* of those caught covid AT school. In 9 days back. 4/11
The media has also largely ignored that the government decided to wipe the school outbreak map clean for a ‘fresh start’ in January, and raise the reporting threshold for outbreaks. When Dr. Hinshaw says ‘outbreak’ now, it means 5+ cases in a school, but it used to mean 2+ 5/11
Meanwhile, businesses are asking for sector-specific stats on covid transmission, only to be told they’re ‘working on it’. Haven’t they had like 10 months to figure this out? What data is driving the decision to keep some types of businesses closed, but not others? 6/11
And if there is no data available, then what is the decision based on? Wouldn’t it help if we had #covidalert ? Stop trying to make ABTraceTogether happen. It’s not going to happen. Also, kudos to Albertans who followed health measures over the holidays, because it helped 7/11
but those numbers are going to ramp right back up again now that we’re one incubation period back into school. That’s when the numbers took off in the fall, and they’re doing nothing different, so why should it be different now? 8/11
Also, we are hearing that the government intends to sell off registry and land title offices in yet another move to pad their balance sheets while giving up all the future revenue these bring in. Then will hear again how we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. 9/11
AND there are still no contracts for doctors, still all the coal mining mess and attempt to gaslight us that they ‘paused’ when it’s only a tiny fraction, and on and on. Like I said, it’s outrage fatigue. But, it’s also important to not let all of this slip out of mind. 10/11
Any ONE of these disasters ought to dominate the news cycle for months, but each fresh hell we learn about tends to quash the others or push them aside. It’s cumulative. We need to remember ALL of it. Each new thing is not a one off. This is what UCP is. 11/11
I think I will retweet this every day:

क्या आप जानते हैं कि क्या है, पितृ पक्ष में कौवे को खाना देने के पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण!

श्राद्ध पक्ष में कौओं का बड़ा ही महत्व है। कहते है कौआ यम का प्रतीक है, यदि आपके हाथों दिया गया भोजन ग्रहण कर ले, तो ऐसा माना जाता है कि पितरों की कृपा आपके ऊपर है और वे आपसे ख़ुश है।


कुछ लोग कहते हैं की व्यक्ति मरकर सबसे पहले कौवे के रूप में जन्म लेता है और उसे खाना खिलाने से वह भोजन पितरों को मिलता है

शायद हम सबने अपने घर के किसी बड़े बुज़ुर्ग, किसी पंडित या ज्योतिषाचार्य से ये सुना होगा। वे अनगिनत किस्से सुनाएंगे, कहेंगे बड़े बुज़ुर्ग कह गए इसीलिए ऐसा करना

शायद ही हमें कोई इसके पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण बता सके।

हमारे ऋषि मुनि और पौराणिक काल में रहने वाले लोग मुर्ख नहीं थे! कभी सोचियेगा कौवों को पितृ पक्ष में खिलाई खीर हमारे पूर्वजों तक कैसे पहुंचेगी?

हमारे ऋषि मुनि विद्वान थे, वे जो बात करते या कहते थे उसके पीछे कोई न कोई वैज्ञानिक कारण छुपा होता था।

एक बहुत रोचक तथ्य है पितृ पक्ष, भादो( भाद्रपद) प्रकृति और काक के बीच।

एक बात जो कह सकते कि हम सब ने स्वतः उग आये पीपल या बरगद का पेड़/ पौधा किसी न किसी दीवार, पुरानी

इमारत, पर्वत या अट्टालिकाओं पर ज़रूर देखा होगा। देखा है न?

ज़रा सोचिये पीपल या बरगद की बीज कैसे पहुंचे होंगे वहाँ तक? इनके बीज इतने हल्के भी नहीं होते के हवा उन्हें उड़ाके ले जा सके।
