Why does “fiscal discipline” always mean selling public assets to the ultra-wealthy instead of taxing them?

So nice to see the BC government picking "confidentiality" for oil and gas companies over transparency on how much those companies pay to profit off our natural resources 🫠 "The NDP government changed the law so that company-specific royalty payments would be shielded from public view" #bcpoli

‘Improved confidentiality’ for oil companies leaves the public without previously available payment data.

Update: one portion of the swim is suspended due to fires at the Fraser Canyon. That section of river will be swum next year. The swimmers (who have swum over half the length of the Fraser River already) are being driven to below the fire region. They were ready to continue but guides said no.

Violent misogyny is so ubiquitous that only just now, in 2026, are a few people entertaining it as an extremist ideology despite its association with mass violence (let alone the everyday assaults) for as long as anyone can remember. It's progress, I suppose.

It is amazing to me that such a law exists and is currently being prosecuted. I get the intent behind it, but wow. I notice that the woowoo benefits offered by prayer circles and other Christian methods are not illegal, however similar they are. #WitchSky

Conrad Black founded the National Post in 1998. It has always been far right. Anyone claiming that Postmedia has "swung" to the right a decade ago has missed the plot. #cdnmedia

My hot take today is that anyone who thinks there's a war on cars in #yyj gets a mandatory trip in a powerchair. "but not prioritizing vehicle traffic is ableism" boom now you're in a powerchair on a street with no sidewalks. Your destination is on Hillside and Shelbourne. You can't use transit. 1/2
