again, if i had a calculator that gave me the wrong answer one (1) time, i would throw it out and never use it again and could probably bankrupt the company by simply telling people what happened
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 2d agoGotta love the “or stocks” part. Like Gemini realized its first answer was nuts so it tried to wedge in a better one.
Westjet told people not to cancel their flights ✈️ so they could play media outrage sob-stories— while the Union warned people every day in the news to cancel their flights due to job action. #canlab

Seems like a good opportunity for a mayoral candidate to get behind a city-run store.
Winnipeg Free Press@winnipegfreepress.com · 5d agoA lot of Winnipeggers may shrug, but the end of Giant Tiger’s downtown store is a giant problem for many of the people living in the centre of the city.
Watching The Prestige and all of these tricks are accomplished by the first thing a kid would guess on the first try.
Why bother trying things? Better to just commission more studies.
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.
Yeah, this pipeline is pouring gasoline on a world that's already on fire, but it could boost GDP by up to 0.6%! For a short while!

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
Canada's National Observer@nationalobserver.com · 2w agoNEW: Export Development Canada provided between $100 million and $200 million in project financing for the gas-fired plant that will power Meta's data centre in Sturgeon County, Alta., Canada's National Observer has discovered.
he’s gutting the public sector, he’s holding back on pharmacare deals, he tried to pull money out of daycare, he’s letting two-tier healthcare gain a foothold in alberta, and now he’s coming for public healthcare funding too

Currently my provincial govt is trying to privatize the healthcare system. Is this what it’s like to be American, getting MRI advertisements from your phone company?
Gillingham killed the Osborne and River scramble that would work and engineered one that would fail. Same pattern from him over and over. Glad to see the Osborne BIZ reminding everyone that doing it right matters.

Did you know, Carney’s Liberal government’s Bill C-37 violates international law surrounding First Nations' clean drinking water, this includes United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. (1/3)
My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.
In Alien: Earth there's a half-season long arc where the central tension is "can an amoral, hyper intelligent android trick an eight year old?"

Canadians often talk up their healthcare over their American neighbours, yet continue to elect politicians who actively undermine it. The Canada Health Act is one of the most valuable things we have. We should be expanding it, not letting US lobbyist pollute it. canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

American-funded dark money groups are applauding Mark Carney’s hands-off response to Alberta’s move toward two-tier health care. With Ottawa now embracing provincial “flexibility,” the federal governm...

sadly this also ends his career as an oysterman as he no longer needs to pretend to have a job
I really hate this narrative that if you want to have a real person represent you in government you have to accept massive flaws and red flags.
Carney is totally flooding the zone right now by the way. A look at the last week or so: 24 Sussex reno, years overdue. Huge nuclear energy announcement. Missing climate targets (!!). Canada-BC MOU. PIPELINE PLAN WITH ALBERTA (!!). WORRYING SENATE REFORMS (!!). Massive submarine decision. NATO.
Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · last mo.In case you’re a bit struck and overwhelmed by how many announcements Carney has been making, here’s him talking about something he said he learned from Trump: Carney sees “the effectiveness, the value” of “flooding the zone.”
It's weird that when the Nazi tattoo came up the message was that there was no other candidate to run or time to find one and now there are two who have more experience, less baggage and largely the same positions to fall back on.
Platner is a classic example of a white person coming out of nowhere having zero history of meaningful community work or activism and somehow being given a platform to convince people he's the next great white hope. Who the fuck was this guy before the election cycle? Who are his people?
Lupita Nihongo@otsumamiboy.blacksky.app · last mo.He lied about every single thing. Everyday. He ran knowing full well who he is while presenting himself as someone else (poorly). He wasted everyone’s time & money & shattered people’s credibility. He used the political process as a vanity project to the detriment of the folks he wanted to represent
