160. Do not appoint a Conservative who has said offensive things about Indigenous communities as a top advisor. www.aptnnews.ca/featured/car...

It speaks to Carney's concept of sovereignty that Canada is both increasing protectionism and Buy Canadian policies for private sector, at the same time as increasing foreign ownership of existing state assets

This spring, surveillance pricing for groceries hit a nerve for Canadians, sparking a flurry of headlines and policy action. Sarah-Louise Ruder writes. #canpoli

Basically every Dodd’s Furniture ad. Every one was pure cinema.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

This page on the AI bubble -- the bursting of which is a "when," not "whether," -- is key reading. I'm including Erin Brokovitch's data center map under it. Looks like this is a project of @thefarce.org !

Canada is trading real and immediate harms for speculative long-term benefits. We need to think twice about the race to adopt AI indiscriminately across every sector of society and the economy. Major new @policyalternatives.ca report on AI: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

That’s literally what it is. They’ve all been ground up and regurgitated by Grok.

People who have money have a disproportionate ability to silence their critics — especially in Alberta. But several journalists (including me) are joining forces with digital media creators, writers, civil society, unions, academia and lawyers to try to change that. Here's how.

Time to repost this @benschneider.bsky.social article! This woman predicted that a policy decision was going to result in mass homelessness. She was right.

This is kind of an incredible website: Why your stuff stopped lasting, who profited, and what's still built right.

We're seeing 2 things in play: The illusion of truth effect: If people hear a lie enough, they start to believe it. The messenger effect: A cognitive bias whereby the credibility and even likability of the person delivering a message influences how it's received & believed. (People trust Carney.)

Reminder: tomorrow Broadway btw Alberta St & Cambie St will be closed for 6 mo. Buses detour to W 8th but "no turn except buses" signs attempt to prevent private vehicles from doing the same. Instead they will filter on to the side streets where there are many busy bike routes. #bikeyvr 1/4

Ontario's jails are using an artificial intelligence tool that disproportionately places Black prisoners in maximum security The government anticipated its tool AI would produce biased outcomes, but used it anyway My latest @breachmedia.ca investigation breachmedia.ca/black-prison...

Nothing has scared me on an existential level quite like the opening chapter of The Ministry For the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. Published in 2020 it describes one of the most harrowing mass death events from extreme heat I've ever encountered. It is fiction, by a slim margin.

It's actually deeply concerning that the US government is making threatening statements to Canada about wildfire smoke. It's hard to understand why everyone is treating it like a joke. Their behaviour is extremely hostile and scary

1/ Outrageous and unacceptable. The Namaygoosisagagun First Nation wasn’t warned of the blaze that burned their community to the ground and were not given supports to evacuate.

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

Vancouver council squashes motion to regulate AI data centres. The motion, a very good one advanced by One City Coun. Lucy Maloney, was overwhelmingly defeated in a 7-3 vote, following the majority held by Mayor Ken Sim’s political party, ABC. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/17/n...
