I’ve said it before but Carney doesn’t give a shit about winning public favour imo. He rode to Liberal leadership without it, got enough for a minority, operated like a de facto majority (who was gonna stop him?) snaked his way to an actual majority and now he can execute his vision in one term.

The reality is that Carney is smart enough to realize that people don't put two and two together so easily.

Why is CN Rail operating freight trains in the middle of areas with active wildfires? Are these trains transporting flammable or explosive cargo? “A spokesperson for [CN Rail] wrote back to confirm “that the crew was safely evacuated from the area,” but offered no other details”

The scenes outside the window of the train are breathtaking. A wall of flame engulfs the treeline just feet away from tracks.

"Everyone wants a revolution but no one wants to do the dishes" In my experience lots of people are ok to do the dishes and they're heroes and usually they are women, because women don't see that work as shameful. But men do not see that leadership as leadership and so women get fed up and leave.

When guys are like “that’s not rape, all my friends have done that,” that’s exactly what we’re talking about. That’s the problem. Rape is so common and unpunished that a guy could casually reveal all his friends are rapists and not see it as a problem.

When Carney believed net zero was a business opportunity, he supported it. Now that he believes it isn’t, he doesn’t. Meanwhile Ontario cities are bathed in smoke from forest fires every summer and he commits to environmental policy that will kill people.

When Ontario has the worst air quality on Earth just remember that the rich capitalists that run Canada from parliament and Bay Street can afford to stay indoors and avoid it. Meanwhile, you and your neighbours choke on it in small insufficiently ventilated apartments and on the streets.

Shocking: under the Liberals’ "Buy Canadian" procurement policy, more than 70% of contracts have gone to foreign-owned subsidiaries. What's the point of a "Buy Canadian" policy if Canadian taxpayer dollars aren't supporting Canadian-owned companies? Canadian businesses and workers deserve better.

I'm a feminist gerontologist by training. Being in grad school in my 20s, studying elderly women was an immense privilege for many reasons, one of which being that I learned very early on that you either age or you die young. There's no third option. Aging is a privilege.

US inflation is the highest in the G7.
Line chart titled "The United States currently has the highest inflation in the G7" showing year-ended consumer price inflation rates across G7 countries. The United States leads at 3.5%, followed by Canada at 3.2% and Italy at 3.1%, while Japan has the lowest rate at 1.5%. The 2.0 percentage point gap between the highest and lowest rates reveals divergent price pressures among major advanced economies, with the US experiencing notably stronger inflation than its peers.

She works in an air conditioned office while her kids struggle with the heat. Why aren’t we doing more to cool Toronto daycares?
As temperatures soar, children in daycares across the city are enduring temperatures far above what physicians say is healthy.
