  6. A message from Fatima Shaban, #NDP candidate in the April 13 federal by-election in Scarborough Southwest.

  7. “We’re not a big city, we are a small town, and I don’t remember when we agreed as a small town to become a tech hub for the province or for our council. I just don’t remember that conversation happening.”

    “I love Olds, it is a beautiful close-knit community, but there are no health benefits to living next to a power plant.”

    A follow-up on the Olds data centre that has seen Premier Danielle Smith’s gas-powered data centre strategy encroach upon small town Alberta.

    Meanwhile, I’ve just learned a protest against the Olds power plant and data centre is planned for March 23 in Calgary.

  8. $70 million. That’s how much the MD of Greenview has spent to develop the area where Wonder Valley is proposed.

    GIG executive director Kyle Reiling told an audience at the Calgary Petroleum Club last Wednesday that the project is still “moving forward,” and recounted the journey so far.

    Over the last decade, multiple councils backed effort to prepare the Greenview site for industrial projects, most recently betting it all on a gargantuan gas-powered AI data centre proposed by Kevin O’Leary.

    But it started as a petrochemical hub, until that dream faded.

    Read my latest report on the journey that Greenview has been on in pursuit of economic development opportunities for the region, as told by Reiling.

  10. With 25% tariffs, "Ontario greenhouse growers reported 7 million dollars in tariff-related losses in just the first 72 hour period. … this scenario would result in 29,000 jobs being displaced." 😨

    Of course, TACO Trump backed down.
    But first he enjoyed creating real fear & chaos.

    Lots of interesting stats in here about cross-border trade.

  11. CW: #cdnPoli #onPoli Price fixing

    "An Ontario judge has approved a settlement in a class-action lawsuit that accused Loblaw Cos. Ltd. & its parent company George Weston Ltd. of engaging in an industry-wide scheme to fix the price of bread."

    "Those eligible … had to have purchased packaged bread for personal use or for resale between Jan 2001 and Dec 2021."

  13. Gratitude 🙏 for Elections Canada 🇨🇦 the independent, singular national agency that coordinates the business of getting millions of us to the polls.

    And a big shout out to the thousands of temporary poll workers who pull it all together in a seamless + professional way.

    We are well served.

    And on this page are riding-by-riding projections. Also in French, but it's coulour-coded and, I mean, all the numbers are Arabic, right? 😁

  15. In regard to Monday's federal election in Canada - after watching mobster Ford and his Conservative minions destroy Ontario for the last 7 years, as well as what's transpiring in the USA with all the insane moves coming out of Trump's fascist Whitehouse - we can draw one conclusion:

    Living under modern day Conservative governments is like going for a plane ride. The expectation is that it will be all fun and exciting before the flight starts. But it's too late when the plane gets to 30,000 feet and passengers are being pushed out with no parachute.
    It's divisive and self serving.
    But don't worry about the fall - it's a breeze. And that sudden stop at the end? The pain only lasts a split second - don't worry about it.

    That's what awaits with a Conservative vote ... or abdicating our responsibility to cast our ballot.

    Please #vote ! 🇨🇦
    Our country and our culture needs our support now more than ever!

  17. CW: #cdnPoli meet the candidates who met LeadNow's criteria

    #LeadnowCA chose to support candidates with vision for a progressive future - not just strategic voting. #elxn45 #cdnPolitics

    Candidates, in tight races, who aren’t afraid to stand with us &:
    ▪ commit to delivering affordable housing for all,
    ▪ take action to build the clean energy economy we need,
    ▪ fight to ensure corporations are paying their fair share.

  18. This, #Canada, is why it is so important to get out and #VOTE. We are fighting for our sovereignty but also to keep Nazi ideology out of our country's leadership.

  19. Continuing quote from carbonizedstardust from Threads, "... Can’t get a student loan? That’s your province.
    Can’t get a raise? That’s your province.
    Can’t get your passport? That’s the federal government. Like.
    Stop letting the conservatives play you. They are lying.
    You have to break your own chains of ignorance ❤️"

  20. To quote carbonizedstardust from Threads, it's time to understand which government is responsible for what in #Canada & stop ignorantly blaming the wrong government.

    "Can’t afford a house? That’s your province.
    Can’t afford rent? That’s your province.
    Can’t afford property taxes? That’s your province.
    Can’t see a doctor? That’s your province. ..." ... continued in the comments.

  21. CW: #cdnPoli unsuitable in any party

    I just signed this petition, please join me:

    "A residential school apologist with a history of sexist & transphobic positions is running for the CPC in North Island—Powell River, and the polls have him in the lead. 

    Aaron Gunn is making headlines, publicly stating that Canada’s residential school system, which claimed the lives of 1000s of Indigenous children … did not constitute a genocide."

  23. As usual, the Beaverton is on point and savage.

    "Ford’s statement that he would not hesitate to use S. 33 in other instances going forward, essentially eliminating the fundamental concept of a judicial check on executive power, was the kind of statement that would be shocking had it come from anyone other than a power hungry authoritarian only interested in destroying his perceived enemies."

  24. It didn't take long for Doug Ford to decide he doesn't really care for this democracy thing, did it?

    Then again, it's surprising it took this long.

  25. @Paulatics @pluralistic It's day 3, and we still haven't done anything which harms US oligarchs more than the Canadian or US public, let alone which benefits either at the oligarch's expense. Not a day should go by, so long as the sanctions are in place, that Canada (in coordination with as many of the Commonwealth and EU and other major trade partners are willing, or on our own if necessary) fails to enact another policy taking billions in recurring revenue away from Elon Musk and his ilk.

    Tomorrow if not today, scrap DRM protection (either altogether, or for anti-competitive uses abusing copyright law for things which aren't really about copyright). The next day, enact comprehensive #rightToRepair and #rightToOwn laws. The next day, fund jail-breaking projects or open-source competitors to major US corporations' web applications and other software: particularly, sponsor Canadian, Commonwealth, EU, or other willing partner countries' citizens (and non-American residents') labour on those projects. The next day, fund whichever of the preceding to we didn't fund the previous day. The next day, lay out a short-term plan for beginning to adopt non-US tech projects in place of US-made products and services. Each of the following days, support the African countries and many developing nations in the UN Tax Convention, and enact one of the Tax Justice Network's policies, in cooperation with partner countries, so taxes evaded by US oligarchs and their corporations can be calculated and taxed elsewhere.

    Withing a week, announce development and training partnerships with Japanese or South Korean or EU or Commonwealth allies for a new reusable rocket system, to compete with SpaceX and Boeing. Within another week, announce development and training partnerships for a new fifth-generation fighter to compete with the F-22 and F-35.

    Do not let another day go by, while the sanctions are in effect, that Elon Musk and all Trump's other oligarchs do not have at least the first and second derivatives of their net worth decline as a consequence.

    To that end, Justin and Pierre must park their personal differences, self-interest, and political tribalism, and put the Canada first: Canada before Justin, Canada before Pierre, Canada before any party. Pierre must agree to forestall an election, so long as Parliament devotes all its time to counteracting the US trade war, and Justin must agree to recall Parliament, so they can all stop wasting Canadians' time and money and letting US oligarchs out-manoeuvre our government.

  26. CW: #cdnPoli tax writeoff for news

    Yes, a tax writeoff for part of your Canadian news subscription cost!

    Pay attention, tho: most historically Canadian mainstream sources are now largely right-wing American owned. National and big-city newspapers, for example. (Also tv stations, btw).
