Canada needs this much more. Canada's media system has been bought out completely.

Over 90% of Canada's media is owned by an Anerican, a Republican, who bought all of it for the Trump invasion.

“ #FélixGuattari appelait de ses vœux une « ère #postMédia » qui reposerait sur des réseaux de proximité décentralisés, sur les nouvelles technologies de communication et sur des agencements subjectifs créatifs. De nouveaux moyens de communication potentialisent les mouvements en établissant des modes de communication qui favorisent l’expression de nouvelles subjectivités et l’émergence de socialités d’un type nouveau.”

#FelixGuattari et les agencements #postMédia — L'expérience de “radio Tomate” (1981-1983) et du #minitel 36-15 Alter (1986-1990). Où il est aussi question du “Mouvement des infirmières” (déjà) de 88-90.

"In The Postmedia Effect, Marc Edge takes Canada's dominant newspaper chain, #Postmedia, as a case study laying bare the changes in news economics that over the past two generations have hollowed out the nation's newsrooms, undermining not just citizens' trust in what is reported to them, but the very foundations of a democracy steered by an informed electorate."

*Drawing with 20 000 Volts* will happen tomorrow 10:00 at SVITAVA transmedia art lab in Brno, CZ.

https://svitava.org/udalost/workshop-lotta-stover-drawing-with-20-000-volts/

In this workshop we will sketch, doodle, draw, inscribe, engineer and overall un/determine traces on copper boards for them to become places where high voltage spark gaps can occur.

The introduction for the workshop will consist of a brief (not so objective, and rather poetic) historical account of pre-modern electricity, a rough and incomplete visiting of contemporary electric arts, and an introduction to a self-built high voltage generator, inspired by the 19th century influence machine design. -- The practical part is an invitation to experimental hand drawing of unconventional traces on copper boards. This may take the shape of an alternative dogma of irrational trace routing, a quick doodle, a comic, a piece of electrify-able writing, … whatever you may come up with! By applying the drawings with an etch-resistive marker, in an etching bath we can then selectively remove the unwanted copper. This leaves us with an etched copper version of the inscribed drawing. Lastly, we can start experimenting with applying high voltage sparks to our copper drawings.

Which shapes let the high voltage dis/charge behave in which way? How far can 20 000 Volts „jump“ or arc across copper gaps? What unexpected poetics can we notice – or where are your drawings resonating with how the discharging sparks occur?

A main goal of the workshop is to develop a notion of electric energy that expands beyond mere fuel as „pure exergy“, and instead looks at electricity as a wildly expressive medium and phenomenon in itself.

Thank you so much for the invitation SVITAVA transmedia art lab and Jiří Suchánek :) ! ⚡

If a website really doesn't want me to read it if I'm not looking at their ads [1], I really prefer the "please turn off your ad-blocker" wall / dialog / whatever. I know instantly what the issue is, and I can close the site and go elsewhere for information.

When instead they throw up a fake "something technical went wrong" message, it's just gaslighting. It's an insult. Yes, I'm looking at you, Postmedia sites.

[1] It's funny, I read the dead-tree editions of various newspapers for decades and never looked at the ads, and they didn't seem to have a problem with it then.

It's really annoying that the Citizen stopped including the author's name in the title of opinion pieces, yet you can still tell a Denley piece a mile away (and still not be far enough from it)

“Remigration”: How White Nationalists Are Repackaging Ethnic Cleansing

White nationalists in multiple countries, including Canada, are pushing for mass deportations of non-Europeans to be part of the political platforms of their right-wing parties.

@NMBA Reminder that less than half of 1% of Postmedia shareholders are Canadian, while 63% are American corps and a further 13% is one U.S. dude.

So for a chunk of today, the #Postmedia sites were failing. Not unreachable, but returning uninformative server errors. Well, I don't know about all of them, but at least the National Post and the two Saskatchewan paper ones were like this.

The National Post is up now, and ... zero mention of it. No "we're back", no "oops, we goofed" or "someone DDOSed us, mitigated now" anywhere on the front page.

It's like those companies that want to sweep *any* security incident under the carpet - but doing so makes them look untrustworthy, the opposite of "protecting their image" that drives them to do it in the first place.

How can you trust a news site that won't cover its own errors or problems?

edit: fix "its" for "it's"

So the #USAnian company that owns almost all the daily #newspapers in #Canada is now branching out into ... parcel delivery?

https://postmediaparcelservices.com

So someone thought "We know something about going to peoples' houses, we should be good at logistics"?

Weird. I only found out about this because I got an email from them about a delivery. I guess they got a contract with Amazon, because that's the only one I'm expecting?

Weird.

Notice anything about this report from Ground News on the coverage of the David Yager conflict of interest story?

No coverage from Postmedia outlets in Alberta. Nothing whatsoever on their news sites about Yager when I search. This is how I know this story MUST be reported far and wide.

@kevinrns for any readers wanting to understand why local media ownership is being blocked, this piece by independent PEI media:

This is the type of article that our Canadian media should be posting. Not the click bait attack-dog style of reporting favoured by #PostMedia and the #Conservatives led #ChairmanHarper and his current seduced stooges #PierrePoilievre and #AndrewScheer https://open.substack.com/pub/deanblundell/p/mark-carneys-g7-moment-is-this-weekend?r=2b7uvn&utm_medium=ios

You’ve got to love the way the #NationalPost headlines political issues. The role of the #FourthEstate is to position political issues objectively & accurately. #PostMedia which is 98 % owned by a US hedge fund, owns 2/3 of our media, inclu the National Post, Vancouver Sun, Calgary Herald, & Ottawa Citizen, and controls what we read. Why do you think US interests chose the words “RAMS THROUGH”? Do we not need to shore up our defenses? To quickly breakdown, internal trade barriers?

Dear Prime Minister Carney: Any chance we could raise Canadian ownership of Postmedia up to 1%?
Thanks. #cdnpoli #media #postmedia
