Canada has binding regulations on everything from guns to butter. And none for AI. Are we going to trust people like Elon Musk & Sam Altman to regulate themselves? Or is our government going to stop cheerleading & start regulating in the public interest? It’s literally what government is for.

If I'm not mistaken, in Vancouver, the Canada Line trains that go to YVR are airport-specific trainsets seperate from the Richmond-Brighouse ones, judging by the YVR stickers on the side. It would go a long way if AtkinsRéalis added luggage racks to the trains.

I'm on the 747 bus coming from the Edmonton International Airport. Aside from the fantastic route number, I really appreciate the luggage rack on the bus. I think it's very important for airport public transit vehicles to have this feature. If done right, it can allow for more passenger room.

Why? It took Jack Layton a year and a half to run for a seat. It took Jagmeet two years. There's absolutely no reason to rush into the house, he needs to be doing the vital work of rebuilding. The mighty five caucus has told him that they have the House of Commons covered. Brad said it well.

He's said repeatedly that he isn't going to be running in any of the upcoming by-elections because there's no point in rushing into the house to be an independent MP in a party status-less caucus when he can travel the country. Vote for the wonderful Shannon Devine who is the candidate in Beaches.

My article about internal democratic reform within the NDP argues that formal internal factions are a great way to increase democratic accessibility and transparency in the party to represent the needs of the 99% within Canada’s deeply flawed political system. open.substack.com/pub/rosecauc...

The NDP Has Always Had Internal Factions. It’s Time to Stop Hiding It.
To become a true mass party of the 99%, the NDP must recognize our internal factions as assets to democracy, not threats.

Carney supporters apparently don't know the definition of "being taken advantage of." He is using Canadians collective (and justified) fear and shock caused by US Empire to ram through legislation that only benefits the absolute wealthiest in society. Almost like somebody wrote a book about that!

I would also like to mention, while I’ve never actually been to Louisiana, I do have a lot of family connection to that state. Most notably, my great great grandfather was Huey P. Long, The Kingfish. Nonetheless, the climate emergency situation caused by polluters is brutal, and a racial issue.

A resposta é simples. Um dos três maiores cartéis de companhias aéreas da Europa, especificamente o grupo Air France-KLM ou o grupo Lufthansa. Isto permitir-lhes-á consolidar o controlo quase total da aviação no sul da Europa e das rotas transatlânticas. Os ricos ficam cada vez mais ricos.
