This is purely for the hype-fuelling optics. Danielle Smith is currently in the process of whoring our province out to AI datacenter developers, so we all have to make a big show of pretending that AI shit don't stink. Who cares if getting an LLM to write legislation is the literal antithesis of democracy. Here in Alberta, if we catch sight of an ecologically abusive industry that's doomed by its sheer fundamental unsustainability and hated by every person in the country, of course we're going to try and lure it home.
And these fucking UCP stooges wonder why they're getting recall petition'd.
This is what happens when you dignify a ridiculous demand with any sort of serious response. You get more ridiculous demands.
And honestly, if we're talking about the last 20 years, maybe the US should be paying us for all the times we got dragged into one of their idiotic wars.
Liessocial (love the name) is, believe it or not, a jacked up Mastodon instance. So in theory, you should be able to just add .rss to the end of a given url to get a feed of that page.
You can use RSS! As long as the accounts you are wishing to follow are publicly accessible without logging in, you can paste the link into rss.app and it will spit out an RSS feed that you can subscribe to.
Why do governments in this country seem to think workers' rights are fun little playthings that can be taken away as punishment if we displease them? That's not how any of this fucking works.
Workers' rights exist because large, angry, violent mobs demanded them. And we're not going to let them be taken away.
I pretty much despise Doug Ford and everything he's ever done politically, but his opinions on Tump are actually exquisite. As Canada's most preeminent asshole, he's final|y discovered a way to use his abilities for good and I fully support him in this capacity. That Reagan ad was chef's kiss. Keep it up, Doug!
Meanwhile, Carney continues to waste his effort trying to negotiate with a cheat and a liar. Trump has proven time and time again that he is incapable of upholding his end of the bargain. I appreciate the Canadian values Carney is espousing by de-escalating the conflict and showing an astounding level of patience and charity towards someone who doesn't deserve it, but it's completely lost on Trump. He's irredeemable.
The problem is that it's mostly used as a hamfisted way for awful governments to overrule the judicial branch.
Let's say for example the premier of Alberta wants to arrest people for making fun of her on the internet. That pretty clearly violates the charter -- but she has enough support in the legislature to pass the bill. The courts can then review the bill and say "hey, we noticed this bill is an emphatic middle finger to the charter of rights & freedoms, we're gonna strike it down," to which the premier can respond "um, I don't remember asking you, because this bill operates notwithstanding any dusty old documents cooked up by the Laurentian elite."
And that's a perfectly legitimate action under Canadian law.
I get that perspective, but I also don't think it's fair for our government to reduce the level of service Canadians should expect from our public post office while simultaneously pumping ungodly amounts of money into private LNG, mining, and electric vehicle companies.
