Basic income lets people take risks leading to better careers and futures.

Can't believe I have to ask this, but; what happened with the plague?

Conservative parties around the world are now occupied, and run, by fascists.

i don't think it's that crazy it's a lot harder to use public money to build a complicated interconnected grid of rail infrastructure than it is to use private money to build a bunch of big warehouses. like i don't think it's great only one of those is possible but what i do not think it is is crazy

Thanks alot Eby.....

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

If the AI bubble bursts, "we need a people-first bailout," says writer @astra.bsky.social.

I warned 3 years ago that mink farms are a likely route to a new and horrific human pandemic, and once more I'm fervently praying it doesn't map out that way. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BC nobly sacrifices good governance to teach one man about hubris

Mental health matters....unless it impacts profits.

I want renewable energies not data centers

2B. Nova Scotia approves a data centre with no environmental assessment. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-...

"Values" that do not survive pragmatism are not values. They are, at best, weak preferences.

Four soldiers died, and many others had their lives irrevocably changed, for nothing. This shouldn't have happened and someone, somewhere, needs to be held accountable. The training shouldn't have a higher death toll than the mission.

211. Listen to Canadians and prioritize clean energy over more fossil fuels. www.thewatchdog.ca/canadians-wa...

LRT not data centers

This is indefensible behaviour from Everwind. The research done by this reddit poster on the issue is worth your time. The link to the thread www.reddit.com/r/halifax/co... - The Halifax Examiner is one of the last true resources we have for journalism in Nova Scotia. Disgusting.

Funeral held for 75 Palestinians after remains recovered from Gaza ruins https://aje.news/59gfuf

I want a family doctor, not Claude.

There is so much bait-and-switch in Canada’s “digital sovereignty“ (heh) strategy. Bottom line is that building out massive polluting AI data centres to host US tech companies is a form of digital colonialism: they control the tech & the profits, and export the dirtiest, lowest-value part abroad.

Who are the key ringleaders behind Alberta separatism? A coalition of Christian Nationalists and disgruntled rural Albertans will face a major milestone following the weekend New from @stephenmag.bsky.social pressprogress.ca/who-are-the-...

The world is burning

At least 350 Palestinian children currently face 'harsh conditions' in Israeli prisons https://aje.news/b4dl8c

Online activity for the CONservative Party of Canada is down 60% after Ukraine destroys largest Russian data centre. Probably nothing.

Livestreaming public executions, and watching said livestream, are barbaric cultural practices.

Women are allowed to wear gym shorts wherever, whenever, they want; and it doesn't give men the right to stare at them or make them uncomfortable. The men bothered by this are misogynists and lazy "comedians".

People always overstate the GOP being “too afraid“ of Trump to turn on him. They've always understood that if he was ever held legally accountable, then the next question is who protected and enabled him. “What did you know and when did you know it?” It’d tank the party, so they play dumb instead.

Every child matters

“And that, my friends, is the new climate denialism to a tee, with an Orwellian spin on ‘sustainability’ and utter defeatism with respect to how to jointly tackle the affordability and climate crises.”

Mark Carney views democracy as an inconvenience.

A lot of great sci-fi films weren't predictive of the real threat we're facing today. The Matrix, T2, and I, Robot are all about man vs. machine. The AI goes rogue. Human villains aren't a factor. The Incredibles was closer to hitting the mark. The real threat is always the rich guy behind the AI.

203. Do not take us down the disastrous "anti-woke" path regarding science that the US has followed. universityaffairs.ca/news/remove-...

204. Do not repeat Harper's practices of sidelining scientists in order to advance an environmentally destructive extractive industry agenda. thenarwhal.ca/canada-bill-...

Workers rights, labour rights, are human rights.

The changes to the Canada Labour Code in this new bill are “without precedent in Canadian law and they’re without precedent even amongst our trading partners in the G7.” “It provides the complete and unlimited discretion to the federal minister to decide who gets to go on strike and who does not.”

Funny, because the Truckers got three weeks to hang out before police lifted a finger. Interesting.

“privatization doesn’t mean prices will go up,” they told us last week. but of course they will, and they’re starting to have to admit it. the reason why investors are so desperate to get our airports is precisely because they know they’ll be able to make monopoly profits.

This is the same pic of Gaza before and after the genocide...over 73,000 Palestinians killed... ANYONE THAT CAN JUSTIFY THIS IS INHUMAN!

Ed Sheeran is a coward

Free Palestine!

Neutrality benefits the oppressor..

The myth Alberta 'subsidizes' the rest of Canada is the most powerful meme in the separatist armoury. But it's utterly false. I show that most Albertans get more back from federal programs than they personally pay in federal taxes, for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026... #abpoli /2

As we said from the moment this idea was first floated: privatizing our airports benefits no one but corporations out to make a profit.

Way way worse than Harper.
