Stelco's CEO is a big Trump supporter, so only a blank cheque from the Canadian govt will do. Conditions, such as keeping Canadian workers on staff in a company on Canadian soil is totally unacceptable to him

For months, the government insisted Bill C-22 was "encryption neutral" and dismissed warnings from tech companies as misinformation. The Minister now says the bill has a "minor opening" on encryption in "extenuating circumstances." Is there such a thing? www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/09/is-c...

Tens of millions of American motorists believe there's nothing wrong with texting at a stoplight. Or driving 73 in a 60mph zone. Or changing lanes without signaling. Or rolling right on red without coming to a full stop. But somebody has to do something about cyclists who don't follow the rules.
