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.

Did you know, through Bill C-37 the Liberal government has refused to confirm the human right of all First Nations individuals to clean drinking water on reserve. Previous water legislation explicitly recognized this right, but the Liberals have deliberately removed it in Bill C-37. (1/2)

Privatizing airports is a terrible deal for travellers, workers, and the public purse. Around the world, it has led to higher travel costs, fewer jobs and worse working conditions.

Mark Carney is privatizing airports and allowing foreign investors (mainly American) to buy up the country. Slashing corporate tax rates and offering up vast amounts of resources for mining and extraction corporations. The country is for sale. Liberal voters were duped.
UST IN: Canada has announced to reduce marginal effective tax rate on new business investment to 6.4% from 13%, the lowest among the G7, and half the rate in the US, per the Globe and Mail

The changes will take effect right away and remain permanent.@sarobertson_

Mark Carney on airport privatization: "We will seek private investment through long-term concessions to operate Canada's four largest airports, following best practice in other countries. The Government of Canada will retain ownership of the underlying land and assets."@KatusaResearch
Canada handed 300 of the world's biggest investors a 66-page pitchbook this week

▪️167 projects worth about US$425 billion

▪️63 of them are MINES

That's more than the clean energy, oil and gas, and data-centre chapters combined.

Welcome to the UK, where using the magic word ‘trans’, allows you to skip standard process with no evidence of harm or wrongdoing. Just send a complaint! We all know they wouldn’t take the same action for any other form of healthcare. @plaidcymru.bsky.social cavuhb.nhs.wales/our-services...
What evidence is there that patients were referred inappropriately?
At this stage, it is not known if patients have been referred inappropriately. The purpose of the Independent Clinical Review is to assess this.Have any patients undergone surgery inappropriately?
At this stage, the NWJCC has not identified any patients who have undergone surgery inappropriately.
However, there are cases where patients have been referred into the surgical pathway but have not gone on to have surgery, including where NHS England providers have identified that referral criteria had not been met. It is also recognised that concerns have been raised by some patients about the referral
process.
The purpose of the current review is to better understand these concerns and provide assurance that patients are being appropriately supported, assessed and referred, and that the necessary clinical governance arrangements are in place.Does this mean patients may have come to harm?
No immediate patient safety concerns have been identified by the NWJCC, and therefore they are not concluding that patients have come to harm.
However, concerns have been raised through complaints to the NWJCC, correspondence, and other information received about the gender affirming surgery pathway. As a precautionary measure, referrals, surgical assessments, and surgery are paused while further review work is undertaken.
These prompt actions have been taken to ensure any potential risks
are identified and addressed as quickly as possible, and that patients continue to receive safe and high-quality care.

Every time I see an American claim that trans people kill their own support, I think about how in the UK, self ID polled majority support until the media attacked it. When Labour accepted self ID should die, we were told to let them win, it would get better. Now we have a bathroom ban. Fuck you.

On multiple axes, things are worse for trans people in the UK right now than they ever have been in my lifetime. Trans youth care, gone. No blockers, no HRT. Adult care? Being waitlisted into nonexistence. Proper facility access? Destroyed. Labour are in power, and are doing nothing to fix this.

All they need to do is amend the Equality Act to make it clear facility access isn't restricted to pure 'birth sex'. All they need to do is stop listening to transphobe campaign groups and lift the youth care bans. But they don't. Because they capitulated in opposition, and never came back.

Indeed, the Supreme Court ruling that led to the EHRC Code enforcing the bathroom ban was ruled on *when they were already in power*. Did they take this as an opportunity to fix things? No! They ummed and ahhed, made noise about 'dignity and respect', then approved the code anyway.

@equalityohio.bsky.social is too scared to give a transphobic bigot politician lower than a "B" rating on LGBTQ rights despite repeatedly arguing that trans girls are men. It's just further proof that "queer" nonprofits have nothing to offer us other than selling us out to Democrats over and over.
Why Equality Orgs Are Struggling
Following Equality Ohio’s “B” designation for Amy Acton, EITM reached out to the organization to ask why Acton had been given such a high grade following her statements and lack of contrition. When asked how their B grade for Acton aligns with the grade’s requirement of “supportive public statements,” Dwayne Steward at Equality Ohio responded stating, “In the Equality Ohio Candidate Scorecard, a ‘B’ means ‘insufficient record but supportive public statements.’ The reduced score reflects our concern about support of trans Ohioans, alongside her broader record and positions, as stated above.” He then pointed to other statements Acton had made that the organization considers supportive, such as that she “will always stand up for Ohioans, including the LGBT community,” and that “as governor, she is committed to standing up to discrimination and ensuring all Ohioans receive equal protection under the law.” Neither statement mentions transgender people.

When asked if Equality Ohio requested Acton retract her statement calling trans girls “boys” and her support for a sports ban, Equality Ohio did not answer that portion of the question. And when asked about Acton barring the Pride Caucus vice chair from the call and failing to appear at her own meeting, Equality Ohio pointed elsewhere: “We recommend you speak to the Acton Campaign directly about any meetings their team conducted. Dr. Acton’s comments didn’t happen in a vacuum. They’re part of a broader pattern of politicians using trans people as a scapegoat, often based on data that’s simply false. These comments are harmful and a distraction from the issues most voters want addressed.”

People conflate them but boycotts are not individual actions based on moral beliefs or consumerist/market ideology. That's consumer activism, a liberal tactic which rarely produces substantive results. Boycotts are collective actions with the goal of financial damage, not sending market signals.
