The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

What's happening in Alberta is even more batshit than I ever thought. Danielle Smith is a dangerous psychopath, and the AB separatist movement largely exists because COVID broke far-right brains, and is led by Christo-fascist religious white nationalists, relying on dark money. 2/n

No candidate, regardless of party, will ever get my vote if they call me a "biological man" and advocate for laws targeting my community. Its that simple.

It is wild we went from "distracted driving is bad" to "what if every car's dash was a cell phone" so quickly and no government has said anything about it. If using your phone is bad, using this is bad.

The fight for true egalitarian democracy is *intrinsically* a fight against conservatism. That is the core truth that the entire edifice of both-sides media & political institutions is meant to obscure.

TIL people see bsky, which I view as a news aggregator, as a site to socialize with their friends. This seems astounding to me. There are many better services for private group conversation. How will people even find people to follow now?

The fact that Albertans support the Prime Minister here is totally immaterial to her. She doesn’t even just govern for her party, she only governs for the most extreme half of her party. Hey, fellow Albertans, it’s time to start doing something about this.

Justin Ling is right: “If Ottawa is getting ready to kill the Online News Act, it would complete the dismantling of Canada’s meagre effort to rein in Big Tech.” www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Justin Ling: Mark Carney may be on the verge of making an unwise concession to Trump
Chatter that the Online News Act is on the table in Canada-U.S. trade talks are an ominous warning sign that Mark Carney is giving up too much.

Once again, Mark Carney is appeasing Donald Trump at Canada’s expense. Weakening the Online Streaming Act puts Canadian jobs, Canadian creators and our cultural sovereignty on the line. (1/2)

Hot take: User fees we cover with base property tax revenue include the 12,000km of roadways that we've (over) built. Montreal, for comparison: 4,100km. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

User fees hiding in plain sight driving up Edmonton tax rates
At executive committee, city council got an inside peek at the pressure artificially low fees put on the tax rate.

This IPO is probably the largest single transfer of wealth from working people to the rich in the history of the world. Most media will report it as a business story and not theft, and thus people will continue to not understand why they are getting poorer.

The fact that naval warfare exists will not diminish my love of the ocean. Nor will the words "space force" diminish my love for the stars. I have fought capitalism here on earth, and I will fight it on the moon if I have to, but by god I will not stop reaching for the stars.

When I was a CPC staffer trying to get them to accept climate change as real, Gladu would often remark that we didn’t need climate action because Canada has trees. Her incuriosity was stunning. This is a real head scratcher.

For basically the entire history of hockey, Canada has had the best goalie in the world. We don't anymore, and that is the difference. What do we need to do to fix this? Massive subsides for goalie equipment for Quebec youth?

"In an effort to protect their mental health, some people might redefine success away from accumulating wealth and toward purposefulness or happiness," "The scenario could also see trade unions 'grow in power'" This is supposed to be a dystopia? Don't threaten me with a good time.

Legally defining "biological sex" to be just whatever the doctor said when you were born rather than it referring to your actual, material biological sex as it exists today is like legally defining Pi to be 3

Justice for these horrors will only come when trans people shed the bigotry of cis gatekeepers and are truly liberated. No more medical gate keeping, period. People are who they say they are. Trans people are just as biological as anyone else. You can change sex. We now fight on this truth.

There’s a world where Mark Carney wins and offers Jean Charest and Rachel Notley Senate appointments and Cabinet roles. Go full national unity ticket. Sadly, I doubt we will in that world.

Last year India credibly assassinated a Canadian citizen in Canada. They are higher than the US. Canadians can be a complacent and kind people. We can also hold a grudge and maintain a level of bitterness and anger than pervades deep in society. We feel betrayed and that isn't going away soon.

I love high speed rail and want it everywhere. This plan from the 🇨🇦 govt is not it. Five years to design!? Construction starting by 2030 at earliest!? We are under existential threat and nation building projects must be rapidly accelerated. We cannot rely on stagnant institutions to save us.

This guy set up camp across the street from my house and swore in fake police to implement a white supremacists agenda. He led a group that threatened and harassed me and people I know. But not guilty and no real sentence. Absurd.

If this is close to correct and half the voters of the left-leaning party are willing to vote for Mr. Global Capital, it further proves Canadians are trained strategic voters. Our system has taught Canadians to vote against, over and over. I hope one day we can vote FOR something.
