Mark Carney's friendship bracelet is not, contrary to conspiracy theorists, a sign he is in league with Satan.

We really need to go back to the days of retail banks not being allowed to run investment houses.
Allowing this has allowed for scams, pressure tactics, and banks using their retail operations as piggy banks to fund losses in their investment divisions, which is why they love charging fees for everything!
Toronto Star: “New numbers reveal 10,000-plus Ontario college layoffs, 600 programs cancelled or suspended over past year”
The bloodbath in our higher education system in Canada has gotten NO press even though provincial governments and likely federal KNOW. This is the first in depth article I have seen. ALL governments micro-manage university and college policy/finances, no matter what they might say to the contrary.
Here are some truths you need to know:
Yes, I am biased as a 25 year employee of a University.
Yes, my University has also had completely unprecedented cuts in the past 12-24 months, with more coming.
Yes, it is because of the loss of International Students and their tuition revenue. Without that loss, many domestic enrollment numbers have actually been growing, but the money per student is orders of magnitude less. (ie. International was a cash cow)
Yes, faculty and even many admin, have been warning about the government downloading funding onto International tuitions for decades.
Yes, government will claim they are “investing more than ever”, but this is usually about Capital expenses (buildings, residences, infrastructure) or meeting contractual increases for staff salaries, *not* operating expenses.
Yes, in BC in the 1980s 80-90% of a University or College operating budget was covered by “base funding” from the province. Now, it is often below 50%. (If this makes you ask… is it still a “public University system”, please do!!)
And finally, yes, if we want to consider ourselves a modern country, we cannot possibly think this kind of contraction in educational opportunity (while domestic tuitions continue to increase!) is at all healthy for our society as a whole.

Because our government prefers to placate a mad emperor, the availability of EVs in Canada is severely limited - discouraging the infrastructure to support them, the interest in Canadian-designed and built vehicles, the continued degrading of our climate, and the opportunity for Canadians to buy an affordable alternative.

Denmark #1. Canada #17. USA #24, and falling.
“This year’s.. results challenge the neoliberal & libertarian schools which assert high taxes cripple national economies. Of the 70 economies surveyed in this year’s analysis, Norway had the highest tax take, Denmark had the fifth highest…Luxembourg sixth. Clearly, high tax rates are no obstacle to outstanding overall outcomes.
The other lesson: for a sound economy, switch to bicycles.”

So we did get a Conservative government, just not an overtly anti-immigrant, Nazi one.

July 21 is an apparent deadline for the 'closed talks' between Canada & the USA (where is Parliament and Congress in all this???).
If you were a betting person...
What would you bet will be the result? #boycottusa #cdnpoli #canpoli

Hey Canadians.
Would you support the Government/CAF spending the $1-1.5 Billion needed to replace the Snowbirds program with new jets?
(the familiar aircraft we know were built in the 1950s/60s and were supposed to retire 15 years ago... now slated for 2030.)

Hey folks in the Alberta riding of Battle Creek - Crowfoot - just a reminder that your trusted, local resident Conservative MP abandoned you so that Poilievre - an Easterner for the past 20+ years with no connection to your riding, and who lost his own riding - can use you to get back into Parliament. Not to serve you.
Choose a local candidate who will best represent you and not be an embarrassment to you in the House.

“Signing two memorandums of understanding after a morning of flipping pancakes in downtown Calgary on Monday, Premiers Danielle Smith and Doug Ford said President Donald Trump’s trade war and ongoing global economic uncertainty mean it’s critical for the two provinces to work together.”
Looks like Doug Ford is progressing on a plan to become prime minister.
Support Jeronimo Kataquapit and his fight to protect the Hudson Bay lowlands. This is not just a fight against Bill 5, Bill C5, it's a fight to save a natural carbon sink that protects us from climate change.

What’s happened with Indigenous Reconciliation?
As of June 4, 2025, the 10th anniversary of the release of the TRC Summary Report, more of its 94 Calls to Action have NOT STARTED than have been COMPLETED.
That’s a problem!
Think about that. 14 Calls to Action out of 94 completed after 10 years vs 15 that are not even started. CBC’s Beyond 94 identifies 14 as complete and 17 as not started.

We need decent public transportation!
Automakers want Canada to scrap its EV sales mandate. What would that do to emissions?

Apparently more pipelines is the solution.

@bitsnpieces @Wyvernsridge US campaign entices Canada tourists: “Come visit America and also maybe El Salvador!”
100% this. #kinew and co. also couldn't be bothered to respond to #aptn directly when asked for comment...which is especially cowardly and unprofessional, as they are #indigenous leaders not responding to an indigenous network.
