Once upon a time, 'safety' was about avoiding real danger, now it's simply a polite way of saying 'shut up and comply
“Safety used to mean something concrete—the absence of imminent harm, the presence of reasonable protections. Seatbelts keep you safe. Locking your doors at night keeps you safe. Not playing in traffic keeps you safe. But slowly, almost imperceptibly, “safety” has morphed into something far more abstract, elastic enough to justify nearly any loss of liberty or privilege. “We’re banning that doctor who questions vaccines from social media to keep you safe. We’re removing that book of natural cancer cures from Amazon to keep you safe.
We’re tracking your every move and morsel to keep you safe.”

"Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining." That’s exactly how this so-called pipeline “agreement” between Danielle Smith and Mark Carney feels.
We’re told progress is being made — but the same roadblocks remain:
First Nations opposition, British Columbia resistance, endless carbon taxes piled on Alberta, and a vague, maybe-someday timeline for construction. Nothing has changed, except a shiny piece of paper Smith can wave around at the UCP AGM.”
