Avi Lewis: "We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? Do the police services make money? We're talking about a fundamental public service."

I saw a headline yesterday that #Ford is passing legislation that let's him bypass existing legislation to speed up development, but I can't find the article today. Is this just his deal with carney to get the Ring of Fire built or is this something new? #Ford #Carney #ontPoli #CdnPoli #RingOfFire

I don't understand why people don't see there are huge problems with Carney. "Section 12 of the Bill C-15 would allow the minister to exempt any individual, business or other organization from any existing law or regulation other than the Criminal Code, for up to six years, with few limits."

I'm an atheist so have zero trust for most religions but I hope this policy is written in favour of ALL religions and that its written so all those buildings are forced to help people in need, instead of just people still inset they couldn't spread covid and had to listen to their service online

1. This federal-Alberta pipeline MOU is even worse than I expected. Even before we get to the pipeline: - exempts AB from net zero electricity reg (AB produces 44% of all electricity-related GHGs in Canada). - delays methane reg by 5 years (75% redn by 2035 rather than 2030. (cont'd)

Substitute out “gender affirming care” with cancer care. Or congenital organ defect repair. Or mental health care. This isn’t about providing fully informed consequence free care, because that simply doesn’t exist. It’s about believing trans kids shouldn’t exist. #abpoli
