Mark Carney just allowed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to fly through Canada despite a warrant for his arrest and the country being a signatory to the Rome Statute. We have aided and embedded one of history's greatest monsters

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

"I downloaded a local taxi app and when I used it I was flooded with worries that weren’t previously there: Would the driver even find me?" When these companies sell convenience, they reframe the ordinary as inconvenient,and the inconvenient as intolerable.We can't let them imagine our lives for us.

For the first time in my life, I downloaded a ride-hailing app in May. It didn’t take long to see how they’re designed to give users a false sense of control that makes it easy to overlook their flaws and be discouraged from using taxis. How else have tech services changed how we see the world?

This is what the entire video is intended to couch. It’s the only part that matters. “We can’t afford to restrain the growth of an important part of our energy mix, oil and gas, to meet a short term goal,” Carney said. “Our emissions will be higher in the next few years”

If you want to ragebait yourself, watch this. It’s a lot of fear mongering and bullshit to say, effectively, that we’re doing a shock doctrine and we’re abandoning our climate targets. Happy Canada Day Eve, everyone.

I know I keep going on about this, but Canada attempting to increase surveillance powers at the same time that it's obvious there will be increased civil disobedience and resistance to "critical infrastructure" projects is noteworthy, yet no one mentions it in their analysis bsky.app/profile/jeff...

This isn’t even a joke thing for me. Mobile platforms are a closed down technofascist response to computers. The desktop isn’t free of those influences, but they are attenuated and interacting with it makes you experience the full promise of computing. The potential and the freedom.

The Carney government just gave itself sweeping new powers to authorize the use of any pesticide if it unilaterally decides it is in the interest of "national food security." The legislative changes came after meetings between government officials and the pesticide industry's leading lobby group.

Why is the Carney government cozying up to pesticide companies?

Just before Parliament adjourned for the summer, the Liberal government passed Bill C-30, an omnibus law that gives Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet the power to authorize pesticides in the name o...

When you inform someone that a video they found online was generated by AI, they don’t feel impressed or amazed, they feel embarrassed. They feel like they’ve been had. This is not a sign of consumer confidence. It is so self-evidently awful, that using it is like telegraphing your gullibility.

Canada often gets a free pass because it compares favorably to the USA, but Canada rejected *more than half* of all World Cup visitor applications. Under 11% were approved from Ghana. Meanwhile, *none* were rejected from Australia, Germany, France, Ireland, or Israel. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...
