I’m certainly no expert, but I recall from past lives workin for a French multinational that EU was strong on personal data privacy and keeping data on shore. In comparison, NA seemed like the wild west, and not in a good way. It made doing business difficult sometimes, but we always found a way.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Allegedly, Smith's staff pressured health officials to approve over half a billion dollars in private health care contracts to a businessman who bought them seats in NHL luxury boxes in return for the favour. Then Smith fired a CEO who tried to investigate.

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.

The media has failed the public on a crucial matter: the derangement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Often he is described in news reports as a vaccine skeptic, when he is far more than that. He is an extreme vaccine opponent.

You've probably heard that "we are stardust," but this graphic breaks it down and tells you what kind of stars your dust came from--and which elements didn't come from stars at all. 🧪 svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13873/
This periodic table depicts the primary source on Earth for each element: from the Big Bang, massive stars, white-dwarf supernovae, merging neutron stars, low-mass stars, or other processes. In cases where two sources contribute fairly equally, both appear.

UPDATE: Remnants of the so-called Freedom Convoy that tried to sue us now owe us almost $50,000 in costs after their case was dismissed. They also spent over $95,000 on their own legal expenses to bring their conspiracy theories to court and have them completely dismissed.

DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

While I agree, it doesn’t show much ingenuity,is tactless and does exhibit why the NDP are a fringe party and a waste of voting power if you’re considering them as an option in the face of the challenges Canada faces in the world today.

$7.3 billion stolen from cancer patients — and not one criminal charge for a health insurance executive. This is what it looks like when health insurance lobbyists pay off the politicians who write our laws.

We're trapped in a game of Monopoly where oligarchs own all the property and the rest of us are simply making our way around the board trying to avoid financial ruin. They've also bought the bank and the government, so they can change the rules to their liking. It's game over or time for a reset.
