Shame on everyone involved in creating a timeline where a company with a $42 billion operating loss and which spends $8 billion to make $4 billion can con enough land visitors into a $1 trillion IPO while claiming it is gonna kill us all

Days after the NFL fined him for wearing Hind Rajab’s name, Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair returned to the field with another Palestinian child on his eye black: 8-year-old Wafaa Akila. Wafaa was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza on September 6 — her first day of school.

New research from Proton finds 87% of top Canadian companies depend on US tech companies. For governments, it’s even worse: 100% of federal, provincial, and territorial governments rely on US companies for email. As Canada turns away from the US, major institutions need to cut that reliance.

Mark Carney’s economic theory boils down to ‘private good, public bad.’ Also, ‘what do the super rich tech bros have to say? They must know best as they are super rich.’ He’s like a lobotomised Margaret Thatcher, but more needy, more conformist, more short term.
