Meanwhile, this greatly reduced staff will have to deal with continued increased demand since Carney has renewed the pass to make these Parks free. Such a classic CEO-style move to think workers will just ~figure it out~ as you actively make their job WAY harder to save a buck

Cuts underway at Parks Canada: Nearly 3,000 workers receive notice jobs will be impacted; 13 park warden detachments to close; search and rescue dog program axed; visitor program, outreach and camping services to be scaled back www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Yesterday was Budget day, which means Canadians got a look into Prime Minister Mark Carney’s real priorities — which, above all, seem to be deductions for corporations and defence spending. And this largely pro-corporate Budget led to an incredible moment on live TV... Here's all that and more:

A 6.5-million-barrel oil storage terminal south of Vancouver is planned for land that could turn to liquid in an earthquake.

Routing the Pacific Link pipeline through Roberts Bank poses an ‘unacceptable risk’

Decades of environmental assessments and contemporary earthquake hazard mapping warn of severe risks posed to the environment if oil is allowed to ship out of Roberts Bank, undermining government clai...

Some Indigenous leaders call the proposal to significantly reform or abolish the Indian Act a distraction. “I don’t know if you’ve ever watched a magician, but I’ve seen a bait-and-switch before," Wet'suwet'en hereditary chief Na'Moks said.

On Friday, Carney’s government took a huge step towards likely ensuring you’ll soon never see an orca off the coast of Vancouver again. They designated the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 port expansion as a project of national interest. But now, First Nations are taking the government to court:

I'm not sure most Canadians realize what's happening right now with Indigenous folks and the Carney government. All morning there has been voice after voice from Indigenous leadership, youth, from across the country, telling us they're gearing up for a fight for their rights. This is big!

I'm not sure most Canadians realize what's happening right now with Indigenous folks and the Carney government. But I’m going to use my platform today to show you. I sure hope the government listens...because otherwise, a storm is coming:

À la veille du 17 octobre, Laurent Nuñez autorise la police à recourir à toutes les «armes intermédiaires», dont la grenade assourdissante pourtant suspendue après la mutilation d’un ado de 15 ans. Répondre à un mouvement légitime par la peur n’est pas digne d’un État de droit👇

🚨Holy crap! Ken Paxton partied on New Year’s Eve 2024 in Dubai with his girlfriend and two U.S. fugitives (Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail) charged in healthcare fraud/embezzlement schemes. Ahmed, a major donor, gave about $190,000 to Paxton’s campaign — including after his indictment.

The Enquete done by radio canada has been sending waves through the industry here in montreal. I took the time to write about my perspective/ eperiences and maybe some ideas to explore to make the agency industry safer for sex workers. aprilkillian.com/blogs/news/m...

In the wake of Radio-Canada's Enquête investigation into Montréal escort agencies, i think it’s time to have more open conversations about sex work, consent, and what actually makes workers safer. The latest Enquête investigation into escort agencies has brought stories of mistreatment, exploitation, and abuse into the

The people who screamed that children would be emotionally scarred by hearing a drag queen read “Jack and the Beanstalk” are OK with those same children watching Pete Hegseth’s livestream of a man getting his brains blown out by a bunch of guns.

The Liberals and Conservatives teamed up again today — funny how that keeps happening — to get Bill C-39 over the hurdle of its first vote. The massive, 243-page bill bulldozes environmental protections, Indigenous rights and attacks the right to strike. Here's what this means:

On dirait bien qu’un des fasciste de Nouvelle Alliance milite dans Orford pour le candidat du Parti Québecois Est-ce que PSPP dénonce leur discours ethno nationaliste sur l’immigration ?

Depuis sa création que nous nous tuons à répéter que Nouvelle Alliance est un pur produit de l'extrême droite, et qu'il faut les barrer. Après des années à nier, à louvoyer, à prétendre être ni de droite ni de gauche, ils ont enfin fait leur coming out fasciste. Il n'y aura plus d'excuse possible.

Kirk Herbstreit is a liar.

Seems data center are a waste of money and time, here a few words from someone who knows a thing or two about that.

"We are committed stewards of our natural heritage." (Plans a new oil pipeline, dismantles climate action) "We believe that a strong economy is not an end in itself, but the means to a just society. We believe that our prosperity grows when it is shared." (Privatizes, cuts taxes for corporations)

Carney to the EU: "We believe that a strong economy is not an end in itself, but the means to a just society. We are committed stewards of our natural heritage. We believe that our prosperity grows when it is shared." I wish the Carney we hear in speeches was the Carney who governs Canada.
