Promo and behind the scenes production shots (at #MemorialUniversity) from #Surrealestate S2, premiering October 4th on CTV #SciFi Channel and Syfy.

Seriously, don’t sleep on this diverse and deadpan quirky #Canadian light #horror drama. 3 years from now all the cool people will be ‘discovering’ it.

Sarah Levy as Susan Ireland and Tim Rozon as Luke Roman sit side by side on a leather sofa in a publicity shot for SurrealEstate 2.
Savannah  Basley as Zooey L’Enfant and Maurice Dean Wint as August Ripley mug for the camera in the set of the Roman Agency boardroom.
The cast of the Roman Agency are shown through a window into the boardroom used for the set.  Sarah Levy is standing for a hair and costume check while the others wait, seated around a conference table.
On the other side of the glass wall of the boardroom, the production crew is monitors a take with Savannah Basley in the frame.

It's hilarious to see #canadian #muslims marching side by side with, what is when it comes down to it, "white nationalists" at the anti-trans marches occurring across Canada today... people that would happily see them kicked out of the country or "camped".

Religion makes them too stupid to see exactly what their #religion makes of them. Makes them too stupid to see exactly whose agenda they are pushing forward.

Well, that's convenient, they have their annual #Canadian #SearchAndRescue conference in St. Johns, Newfoundland this weekend. #HurricaneLee https://ntv.ca/top-search-and-rescue-members-share-knowledge-in-st-johns/

If you live in #Canada, then you benefit in some way from migrant labour. Whether it's the food you eat, the hotel you sleep in, the clean floors in your office, or any of a thousand other activities, migrant labourers have been involved.

Unfortunately, despite their contributions to our society, many of them are nonetheless denied permanent resident status, and thus deprived of basic rights that are taken for granted by the rest of the #Canadian population.

Help send the message to the government that this needs to change.

This Sunday - Sept 17 - groups around Canada will be gathering to protest this inequality and let the Federal government know that this needs to be dealt with in this session, without any more pushing it back or stalling.

You can find your local group/event here https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/regularize-everyone-lets-get-it-done

Seen from this perspective, the belief systems of the national parties barely differ at all.

96% of the chart area does not have a #Canadian #political #party anywhere near it.

You can argue what the distribution of actual peoples' political views along these axes is, but no matter how you do it, the numbers will come up showing that our national parties don't even come close to covering a majority of the public's views.

So, to start looping back to #Canadian #politics - it's a bit of a journey...

All of the semi-serious or serious #national #federal #political parties - #Conservative, #Green, #Liberal, New Democrat in alphabetical order - fall in the upper-right quadrant of the chart. They're not even particularly close to the center; the closest to the center would be the Conservatives, but they're only a tiny bit closer than the Liberals, a bit more than the others.

Apologies, as this will be a bit #rambling, but it will come back to #Canadian #politics, I promise.

First, the #categorization of #political views along a single left-right #axis is almost #useless. This has long been known, and alternatives exist that present a much more accurate picture, but the traditional #media is #addicted to "#left this" and "#right that" and is lazy, so they'll probably never get better.

From the moment we arrived in #vancouver, it felt like home. Even the Border Guard said that I was #Canadian (My mother is Canadian, but because... stuff... I have never claimed my citizenship and currently only have my birth citizenship of the UK and my assumed citizenship of the US).

I had a blast, as did the rest of my team. But what really bummed was coming back to the U.S. and hearing all the usual hate in the media.

I really REALLY would love to move. The question is, how do we make that happen?

So far, it seems to me the number of Canadians, Ph.D.s, and people who bicycle (plus ham radio folks) is of MUCH higher density out here on the Fediverse than other social platforms I've ever been on.

this past year alone, my family has faced evacuation twice in the #canadian north. during the current evac, thousands of northerners have zero communication with their families, emergency personnel or wildfire data.

this is entirely due to the collapse of NorthwesTel's fibre network infrastructure and zero secondary systems for comms. the sub/arctic is infamous for its fragile, ancient comms architecture.

i want to change that, and i'd like help thinking out loud about potential citizen-owned/operated technologies for long-distance emergency comms.

#hamradio and #packetradio enthusiasts - could you please recommend some research resources on the following:

- legal/frequency considerations for non-voice/packet transmission specific to #Canada
- recommended hardware & software for 1000km+ transmission, tcp/ip
- examples of amateur radio clubs that have undertaken this kind of role before

if possible, please respond with links to documentation, research and/or policy papers.

my entire family has worked wildfire management since the teletype days, and i hopefully can effect some actual useful change for northerners here.

#Meta has started blocking Canadian news on #Instagram and #Facebook according to the #CBC. No mention of #Threads.

Via #BillC18, the #Canadian government wants to force app and website owners to pay for linking to news online. This confused and misguided attempt backfired spectacularly.

A screen shot of the CBC news Instagram post announcing that Meta is ending news availability on their platforms in reaction to the Online News Act, Bill C-18, that would have charged Meta for Canadian news links shared by users.

I really enjoy creating these abstract landscapes...for this one I tried to evoke the mood of a coastal sunset in my home province of British Columbia.

In Beacon Hill Park, which is in Victoria, British Columbia, they have peacocks roaming around free. It's an amazing sight! This is my tribute to these amazing birds...

Really fucking good book. First time to read #Canadian #Horror and it's a really good time with the worst people you've ever known in a small Canadian suburb in the middle of nowhere. If you're Canadian, you'll definitely recognize these characters slinking about town.
