Actually. OC

Not sure how many we have this week, but it was 40-something last week.

In this week's shenanigans, someone had two 50 pound sacks of food a little too close to the one enclosure and both were torn open and scattered everywhere!

We need to be vaccinated on rabies to work with them, and all but one person with the shots had called out, so they were stuck caring for all of them by themselves and then cleaning up all the mess!

Last week, they broke a door and 7 of them escaped the first level of fencing. This is why we have multiple levels of defense!

These rascals are always up to something. I'm going to have to figure out how to get the shots so I can help out next year.

IDK why Miez does this, but she does seem to love it.

Taking sexual relationship as its own thing, separate from romantic relationship (i.e. separating the sexual and romantic aspects), what is the difference between a friendship and a romantic relationship? What differentiates them, exactly?

This week, the RCMP arrested four men in Québec, alleging they were attempting to create an anti-government militia.

The RCMP used the umbrella term “Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremism” to categorize the suspects. Essentially, this means the RCMP alleges they share violent right-wing ideologies. Their arrests raise questions about whether Canada’s problem with right-wing extremism is getting worse.

The group is accused of storing explosive devices, dozens of firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition. The RCMP seized all of it, and the four suspects are due to appear in Québec City court next week. Three are charged with facilitating a terrorist activity, along with weapon-possession offences.

The suspects include active members of the Canadian Armed Forces, according to the RCMP. Given the allegations that they were planning terrorist attacks for an extremist militia, the inclusion of army personnel might not be surprising.

But it could represent a stark manifestation of a deeply troubling and accelerating trend: the rise of violent right-wing extremism and anti-government or anti-authority radicalization within western democracies. This is a shift dramatically exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic as many seized the opportunity to spread anti-government ideas based on restricted freedoms.

"We, the signatories listed below, come together with a simple, urgent message: the war in Gaza must end now," the statement said.

In short:

Australia has joined the United Kingdom, France and other countries in demanding an immediate end to the war in Gaza and for Israel to lift aid restrictions.

Israel says the statement is "disconnected from reality" and is urging countries to instead place pressure on Hamas.

What's next?

The 25 countries went on to urge other members of the international community to "unite in a common effort to bring this terrible conflict to an end".
