I'm sure Canadians recognise that our triopoly of grocery chains use this strategy. It's designed to sow uncertainty and anchor our perceptions and expectations to higher pricing without triggering a consumer reaction that burns the robber barons at the steak. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Nanaimo, we need your help. Our friendly and trusting cat Otis found his way out in the middle of the night. He’ll likely be around the south end. He is our most cherished family member. If you find him, please let us know at tally.so/r/NqpDJN

The UK signed a bad trade deal to win favour with Trump. Now he is threatening them with 100% tariffs. Canada would be fucking nuts to think we could give concessions to this mobster and get peace. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

The AFN says no province can alter treaty rights and is calling for meaningful consultation before any Alberta separation process moves forward. Treaty relationships are constitutional, not political. Should they be non-negotiable? CBC brings the full context to the debate.
