  • Canadians like the idea of public service for young adults. Should it be mandatory?

    Jump

  • That's a hard no on military conscription. As for public service tutoring kids or working in national parks, it sounds a lot like forced unpaid labour to me. You want people to work, you pay them.

  • Javier Milei’s government will monitor social media with AI to ‘predict future crimes’

    Jump

  • Another purpose will be to discover “suspicious financial transactions or anomalous behavior that could indicate illegal activities.

    That's rich coming from Milei, who is currently being investigated for a blatant crypto scam as well as an old-school corporate bribery scandal.

  • Yes, Provincial Trade Barriers Are Silly. No, Fixing Them Won’t Save Us

  • An important argument very well made. The article is not only illuminating, it is also fantastically well written.

  • I did the same earlier this year for exactly this reason. Glad to know I'm in such good company.

  • Close the US loophole

    Jump

  • Canada is exporting to the US, not the other way around. We can't tariff our own exports.

    Or are you in the US? In which case do you seriously expect the Trump administration to tariff Canadian arms exports destined for Israel?

  • Carney is pushing Canadian liberalism to its breaking point

    Jump

  • Call and write your MP

    Right, because this has always worked so well.

  • Carney is pushing Canadian liberalism to its breaking point

    Jump

  • Rooted in Enlightenment-era thinking, liberalism positions individual political rights and equality as the foundation of a free and just society.

    I think we've seen enough of liberalism to know this is just marketing slop. Liberalism is the belief that profit-maximizing capitalism is compatible with democracy.

  • Alberta’s Perverse New Barriers to COVID Vaccines | The Tyee

    Jump

  • As the article explains very clearly, this goes way beyond incompetence. It is most certainly deliberate.

  • What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users

    Jump

  • Why would "Linux" want to get more users, whatever "Linux" is.

  • Doug Ford floats use of notwithstanding clause in Toronto bike lanes case

    Jump

  • How does the Notwithstanding Clause apply to a court decision? The Clause is about the Charter, which has nothing to do with bike lanes.

  • Canada is a huge country. We are witnessing simultaneous attacks on bike lanes in multiple provinces (Ontario, Alberta, Nova Scotia). This is very suspicious.

    Jump

  • Dreeshen emerged from his July 30 meeting with Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek pleased that she agreed with his interest in removing problematic bike lanes.

    Gondek campaigned as the progressive alternative. She has done the UCP's bidding at every turn, including approving the billion dollar boondoggle of the Flames' arena.

  • ‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians

    Jump

  • Boycott Microsoft.

  • Trump slams Canada's plan to recognize Palestinian state amid trade talks

    Jump

  • I don't understand Carney's timing on this. Why didn't he wait until after a deal was signed before announcing that Canada would recognize a Palestine state?

  • Health advocates shocked as Carney Liberals back away from pharmacare program

    Jump

  • The Liberals only went along with a very limited pharmacare program because they NDP could topple them. They vilified the NDP more than the Conservatives in the election campaign, and now that the NDP was decimated because progressive voters wanted to make sure Poilievre didn't get elected, the Liberals don't need to pretend they care about pharmacare any more.

  • Report suggests arms still flow from Canada to Israel despite denials

    Jump

  • The report does not "suggest", it shows.

  • Trump Officials Discussed $500M Alberta Independence Loan, Separatist Claims

    Jump

  • This is of course complete rubbish, and treasonous rubbish at that.

  • Choosing a Linux Distro

    Jump

  • Alberta Premier Danielle Smith demands apology from fire-stricken town of Jasper

    Jump

  • So unfair. They all got fancy jackets and everything, why doesn't the report mention that.
