They could always sign up to give comment at a public meeting.
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · yesterdayNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
I'm in the Star today with a piece on the Carney government's handling of relations with the United States. Last year, Canadians gave Mark Carney a mandate to disentangle our country from the empire to the south. By any reasonable standard, he's done the opposite. Link in first reply.
The US put a 25% tariff on wood cabinets, vanities, etc from Canada. And so now Canada is putting a 25% tariff on these goods, with exceptions for Israel, Chile and... The United States.

I have not seen the "Seems like AI slop" button appear yet but I am 100% convinced it is actually a tool to flag stuff that is too obviously AI to then be fed into future AI to make it less obvious. Remember that LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft! There is no altruistic reason for them to add this.
Yes, the Problems are bad, but this is no time for radical things like Solutions
I have never seen someone so flummoxed by the concept of feeding people lmao
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · last wk.Politics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.
Alberta will belligerently go all-in on AI, just as they’ve done with oil and gas, and when AI crashes out, which is certainly will, they’ll expect the rest of Canada to bail them out. And if we don’t, it’ll ignite 3 more generations of western grievances.

We're financing the burning of gas... for a U.S. tech giant... to benefit U.S. owned/aligned oil and gas corporations... When we could be financing sovereign renewables. And the country is on fire. #CDNpoli #ABpoli #Wildfires #DataCentre #Carney

NEW: At a certain point, one must inevitably concede that Carney's concessions to Trump aren't concessions at all, but shared priorities. open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...
Mark Carney, CEO of Canada Inc.
At a certain point, you've got to admit the prime minister is making all these unrequited concessions to Trump because he wants to.

We've had fun with this, but it reveals the key to the reactionary worldview: the poor are the real elite, a class of people living a luxurious life of free everything. In that light, the bus isn't for people who can't afford a car; it's for people getting special treatment so they don't need one.

Mexico is solving its housing crisis. Why aren’t we? Claudia Sheinbaum’s reversal of decades of market-driven housing policy offers an important lesson for Canada, writes @laurenceb-w.bsky.social.

I think Trump is likely a narcissist. I think you probably are, too. I am not, which is why I can distinguish between my personal hunches and clinical diagnosis.
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 3w agoFascinating watching some of the Bluesky fringe left negatively polarize itself into “Trump is not a clinical narcissist” simply because I asserted the opposite
you crumple to the floor and, though you know you're dying, you feel only calm. clips of your life's happiest moments ease you into the void. a woman in a pantsuit eats a salad. three office guys surround one computer. a meeting is going really well. hey wait this is all stock footage. what the f—

The Luddites' actual argument was that automated looms meant expensive, skilled workers were being replaced with literal children, who were then getting maimed and killed, and maybe this is bad.
SlacktivistFred@slacktivistfred.bsky.social · 3w agoThe Luddites were “clinging to horses and carts” because it was the early 19th century and cars hadn’t been invented yet.
