I've been wanting something like this to be done for years - the telcos could have dealt with this on their own but need to be forced to do it by the feds.

I have a petition opened with the Canadian Federal Government to regulate all calls that show a phone number must be matched to the origin. This is intended to block scammers from faking a display number. This should end most scam calls. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Again, this is what happens when you don’t have diverse teams and boards. Lacking just ONE person who could say “oh no, this is a terrible look.” DEI saves money and prevents a lot of pain 😡

I heard Converse posted a controversial ad and I wondered how bad it could be. Going in expecting something controversial I was still shocked by this…

The older I get, the more clear it is that all our safety and well-being is intertwined. The same forces pushing racism are targeting trans people and immiserating the disabled and extracting everything they can from all of us. We gotta stand up for everyone because everyone is all of us.

This is the most quisling shit I’ve seen in a while. genuinely remarkable that you could culture war people into actively cheering for their own autonomy and dignity and privacy being stripped away.

I love how Texas has quickly become everything they used to mock about blue cities. They love cucking for the boot now.

Recognize beauty around you. Realize you can’t control everything. Reflect on how choices can make change. Refuse to be stored in black plastic sacks and placed in the containers provided.

Boundary-Similkameen MLA Donegal Wilson quits B.C. Conservative caucus, the eighth to do so since Aug 14. "I never imagined things could go this wrong, this quickly.”

I am not surprised that the Pentagon supports trolling Canadian teenagers who volunteer to serve our nation. We are proud of our cadets. As for the Pentagon, they abandoned sailors without provisions, committed war crimes at sea and murdered 168 school girls. What a fucking disgusting institution.

Very big jump for the NDP here, and it's more than reversion to the mean; they typically pulled ~20% before collapsing in the Carney rush in 2025, so hitting nearly 26 here took more than just their voters coming home. Promising signs for Avi's organizing strategy, still in very early days.

This. Any jobs that use the capacities of data centres are generally located far from the communities they are besetting. Most of the local jobs are rent-a-cops or janitors.

Mededitor@mededitor.bsky.social · 3w ago

Periodic reminder that data centers employ almost no one. Around 20–30. A bunch during construction, then just janitors and IT clowns. Total ripoff to the local community.

The Ontario govt took $60M out of public education and handed it to Staples. Tomorrow, 80K elementary teachers each get $750 of the misappropriated money to buy overpriced classroom supplies at an 🇺🇸 corporation. Please remember this the next time Captain Canada tells you to #BuyCanadian. #OntEd

Time for a few million more Canadians to sign the petition. Hoekstra = asshola non grata!

Better Pensions BC 🇨🇦🇺🇦 - now with 50% more anti-fascism!@betterpensionsbc.bsky.social · last mo.

Signed! It asks the 🇨🇦 Government to: 1. Declare Pete Hoekstra persona non grata + request his removal as US ambASSador to 🇨🇦; 2. Raise with the US the pattern of conduct by… Hoekstra inconsistent with the Vienna convention…; and 3. Direct a parliamentary committee to review US… interference in 🇨🇦...

We've got the "no 🇺🇸 booze" pretty well in hand. We've got the "no 🇺🇸 products/produce" well in hand. NOW, it's time to wake up about autos/trucks. If the VIN # starts with a "1", it's made in 🇺🇸; if a "2", it's made in 🇨🇦. Canada is virtually the sole market for US autos. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

He did. Therme Spa holding company bailed him out. “Ares Management, which is a global investment company managing hundreds of billions of dollars of assets, one of its subsidiaries purchased the Chicago branch of the Ford family’s label-making business” www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

US aggression is a great opportunity for Canada to become stronger, more independent, more self-reliant, more sovereign. It’s time to build more here, invest in ourselves, strengthen our public services, value-add to our resources, diversify trade partners & BUY CANADIAN! 🇨🇦✊💪

People think Canadians are nice. Elbows up is a defensive mode in hockey. When it gets serious you drop the gloves. When it's all or nothing coach tells you to clear the bench. Now it's time to pull the jersey over that god damn criminal’s head and teach him how to play Canadian-style rules.
