Combined federal, provincial debt to exceed $2.4T this year: study
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/federal-provincial-net-debt-fraser-institute

"Provincially, Manitoba has the highest combined debt as a share of GDP at 91.3 per cent in 2025-26, and while Alberta experienced the largest increase in that regard (21.5 per cent), its debt as a share of GDP remains the lowest in Canada (8.1 per cent)."

Often when people discuss gov't debt in Canada, we only think of the feds, but that's a mistake.

An interesting discussion of the issues around various #ageverification laws that are popping up in various places around the world on the "Techlore" podcast with Jithendra Palepu, a legal expert from the #FSFE (Free Software Foundation in Europe).

Lately relevant in #Canada with the province of #Manitoba announcing age verification for social media & AI chatbots.

As much as #Manitoba's Wab Kinew is the envy of the country, he is wrong on his desire for #socialMedia #surveillance of youth. And he is wrong to even suggest that it is possible. The real problem is the lack of regulation of #BigTech. https://www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/04/the-illusion-of-protection-why-canadas-growing-push-to-ban-social-media-for-kids-wont-work/

let me explain this as if with crayons and popsicle sticks: if your concern is that harm is being done, target the people doing the harm. do not target the people being harmed. i dont know how i can explain it any more simply and if you dont understand or object to this or want to mansplain around it, well, i guess you should get your USian immigration papers ready, theyre all about that shit, regulating and punishing and restricting the people to whom the harm is being done

where are the dummies who wanted to criminalize encryption like it was a ferocious danger? why dont you want to regulate social algorithms? not one person has suggested licensing requiring transparency and open sourcing of social algorithms really?

is it that those same kinds of people are now making big money and would rather children be treated as second class beings without needs or agency? cool cool cool

yes, lets take a generation with a traumatic pandemic formative experience where they could ONLY socialize and get support online and specifically take away the tools they have instead of making those platforms responsible for themselves in any way shape or form

i actually dont have words for how disappointed i am in our provincial government right now. instead of increasing support or regulating the ones doing harm, theyre choosing to isolate and restrict children as if theyre not people. this is braindead. driving a specifically vulnerable population to the margins and into the dark while measuring your success only in number of accounts deactivated is like alex jones level stupid.

While Wab Kinew's move to ban algorithmic pricing was a good one, this move is an extremely BAD one. It's impossible to implement privacy respecting age verification as @pluralistic describes here.

#WabKinew falling into the trap. The answer isn’t to feed more personal info to the social media monsters, it’s to force them to moderate the content and put controls in for everyone, not just minors. #mbpoli

Banning social media for minors isn't to minimize risk to minors, it's to maximize votes for politicians.

Boom! This guy...makes me proud. He's First Nations and a Canadian Premier.

“Donald Trump obviously does not like talking about the Epstein files because he’s mentioned in there so often,” the premier added.

"Canadian negotiators should “hit them where it hurts,” Kinew said, suggesting the U.S. president‘s rhetoric about annexing Canada should be countered by highlighting Trump’s close connection with Epstein, a convicted sex trafficker and child sex offender."

This could be big, or could be more lip service. We shall see. It doesn't give any #land rights or #harvesting rights, it's more about internal affairs and #governance, so I'm not too hopeful.
