Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Robert Clothier was iconic as Relic on The Beachcombers. But did you know that he was a decorated Second World War pilot who flew over 50 combat missions, was paralyzed for two years after a crash and had to learn to walk again? This is his story. 📸 CBC 🧵 1/11

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

They’re saying that I want to abolish prisons, but that’s crazy. After all, we need somewhere to lock up crooks like Ashley Moody. What kind of person steals $10 millions dollars from sick kids? #AngieForFlorida

A Star analysis reveals U.S. firms dominated federal contracts despite PM Mark Carney’s ‘Buy Canadian’ promise.

Ok, now that shit is funny. And more true than not, regarding many men.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

The US-owned National Post is urging Canadian Jews to take matters into their own hands to punish Avi Lewis for speaking up against the genocide in Gaza. They reference the Bible to bury alive and consume by fire. This is extremist hate. It needs to get called out. nationalpost.com/opinion/yoni...

Draganfly Drones is promoted as a Saskatoon success story. They are run out of Tampa, Florida with top Trump military appointees on the board. Don Jr is an investor. The PM committed to building a Canadian supply chain for our defence. This stinks. charlieangus.substack.com/p/stop-don-j...

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

California company accused of shipping pesticide laden berries to Canada. We can't trust American product we should be able to trust that our government has adequate numbers of inspectors in place to protect us. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

peter thiel is another one of those guys who we are supposed to think is brilliant but every time he opens his mouth my first thought is “this guy sounds like an idiot”

I think it is very important that Big Balls, personally, goes to jail there are a lot of young goons who think they are invincible and it is important to make it clear that they are not

If a human did what ChatGPT did, they'd be convicted of conspiracy to commit murder, which can carry a life sentence. It's unconscionable that Canada's legislators are letting OpenAI get away with helping to plan murders. At the very least, it shouldn't be allowed to continue to operate in Canada.

Y’all have seen the viral short clip. Here’s the full original. The energy we need when somebody tries to push disinformation down our throats.

De video waarvan Meta niet wil dat je ‘m ziet

Amazing editorial cartoon by @mackinnonart.bsky.social 😃

The changes to the Canada Labour Code in this new bill are “without precedent in Canadian law and they’re without precedent even amongst our trading partners in the G7.” “It provides the complete and unlimited discretion to the federal minister to decide who gets to go on strike and who does not.”

Selling control of our airports to foreign investors means more costs for Canadians and could compromise safety. So why won't Parliament be allowed to debate this? Yesterday, the Speaker denied my request for debate on this critical issue. @canadianlabour.bsky.social

Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet accuses Carney of breaking Canada’s proverbial window and telling foreign companies to help themselves. He says Carney is weakening laws protecting workers and the environment and using —“instrumentalizing” — the Trump threat as an excuse.

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

The profit-taking for Wall St and Bay St begins immediately! Billable hours already piling up as big banks will skim millions off the sale itself. The rich making bank off the public: welcome to privatization, folks. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A new study found that mice with Alzheimer’s that were treated with nanoparticles showed reversal of the disease at the molecular and cellular level, as well as improved symptoms. “I’ve been working on Alzheimer’s for 30 years and I’ve never been so excited.” www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Carney announced his plans to privatize Canada’s largest airports. So, I went to YVR to ask Canadians what they think (spoiler: they don’t share his enthusiasm). youtu.be/NTz8q0rKGdI

Carney government promises upcoming "Operation Strike Destroyer" legislation won't discourage future strikes

This "significant labour legislation" could very likely end the right to strike for thousands of workers through expanding whose work is "essential," lengthening bargaining timelines or introducing US style laws. pressprogress.ca/mark-carneys...

Multiple industry and labour sources tell CTV News they have been told to get ready for the introduction of significant labour legislation as soon as next week. A senior government source says plans are underway to introduce such legislation following a review of the Canadian Labour Code.

"Well Canada it’s time to call us maybe??" As Damian Boeselager (Member of the European Parliament) just released this video

OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

Unifor's Aviation Council held a rally tonight, opposing privatizing Canada's airports. “Airport workers know from experience that privatization comes at a cost to them and the travelling public and creates worse working conditions across the aviation industry,” said @lanapayne.bsky.social.

Privatizing airports is a terrible deal for travellers, workers, and the public purse. Around the world, it has led to higher travel costs, fewer jobs and worse working conditions.
