What a week. Amidst the blur of World Cup shenanigans and Canada Day festivities, politicians dropped not one, not two, but three massive pipeline announcements. If pipelines such an economic boon, why are taxpayers footing the bill? thenarwhal.ca/three-pipeli...

What if the law Canadians need to regulate surveillance pricing already exists? Writer Emily Osborne argues the Telecommunications Act already prohibits unjust discrimination, a principle that could be applied more broadly across the economy. https://thewalrus.ca/stop-surveillance-pricing/

"Historically, abandoning Google Search would have been commercial suicide, according to SEO consultant Lily Ray. It is simply too valuable...But the gradual erosion of search traffic in recent years has, paradoxically, given publishers more agency to consider walking away from the platform."

Take a walk with me through the big bad Jew hating Nakba Exhibit. It’s even worse than you can imagine. The word Jew isnt even in the exhibit. Can you imagine? youtu.be/xXQLqMGjs8s?...

blendle, incidentally, is what winnipeg free press (sort of the darling of micropayments, even tho they were never a meaningful revenue stream for it) was running on, if i remember correctly. it gave it a real shot! but it didn’t work.

After a year of outreach and major government support, there’s still no private proponent for a new west coast pipeline. No private proponent? That signals: no business case. #abpoli #cdnpoli Our oil and gas expert explains on @bloomberg.com 🎙️👇

The Winnipeg Folk Festival is grateful to the @winnipegartscouncil for their ongoing support! WAC is a city-building organization focused on the connections between the arts and the city’s quality of life, as well as its reputation nationally and internationally. 🎨 Learn more at winnipegarts.ca

Public opposition has prompted Mayor Scott Gillingham to change his mind about chopping $1.2 million from the city’s tree-planting program.

One of Mitch McConnell's longtime confidantes claims the Senate Republican is preparing to return to work, pushing back on mounting speculation that he is “dead or a vegetable.”

“Most people understand [we must reduce] global emissions of greenhouse gases fast or we are in deep trouble in the long term (20-30 years). However... heating is happening much faster than predicted. The average global temperature [expected by] around 2035 is actually here now.”

Doesn't matter who it is, it's a bullshit idea and yet another way Infantino is damaging the game. Four quarters and half-time show – all perfectly good for NFL and the Superbowl but the World Cup does not need it.

Government moves presented as essential medicine actually constitute a direct subsidy to developers and a protective shield for land speculators, Patrick Condon writes. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

The private sector isn’t going to pay for a new oil pipeline or the production to fill it. ❌💰 With planned tune-ups of existing pipes, capacity is well above planned production increases. 📈 This pipeline is about politics — not economics. #cdnpoli #abpoli

For those behind a paywall, my OpEd in the Winnipeg Free Press. Why should Canadian taxpayers provide enormous subsidies for Big Oil? A new pipeline to the west coast estimated at $34-43 billion. Expect that to be north of $100 billion when it's built and doomed to be a stranded asset. #PipelineBan

The affordability struggle crosses party lines: about half of all Democrats, Republicans and independents say they are having trouble affording everyday necessities like gas and groceries according to an exclusive new poll conducted for the Guardian.

The City of Winnipeg is one step away from chopping $1.2 million from its tree planting program to fill a separate budget gap.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

I don't know, man, I think if Joe Biden had kept confusing Zelenskyy with Putin and Iran with Japan, the media might have made a pretty big deal about it?

For carbon capture to work as envisioned, the world would need to devote almost unimaginable resources. Even then, it might still prove impossible to trap so much carbon dioxide inside the earth. Yet the oil industry still pushed it as a solution. with @drilledmedia.bsky.social

“AMC Grand Chief Kyra Wilson noted there have been no consultations with First Nations leaders about either an east-west oil pipeline... or the liquid natural gas pipeline Kinew wishes to see built to Churchill.”

instead of forming a coherent and principled political ideology a lot of people prefer to fall in love with some guy

Canadian politics in a nutshell: imitating an unhinged American war criminal while dressed like a fancy bag of milk.

These MAGA dummies are mad at me for my comments on the USMNT; in a snit that I wasn't "rooting" for the USA after the Trump taint. They're oblivious that they're defending a team whose members they'd otherwise send to an El Salvadoran slave labor prison. Immigrants can entertain. Just not exist.

In 2025, New Mexico’s oil and gas producers drew more than 800 million barrels of oil and 2.7 billion barrels of wastewater out of the ground. The water is poisonous, few people want it, and its disposal creates expensive knock-on effects. capitalandmain.com/dry-new-mexi...

Nearly 75,000 people got approval to take paid family and medical leave under the state’s program in the first six months since it got off the ground.

"A new report has revealed that 90 per cent of utility-scale renewable energy capacity added in 2025 was cheaper than the lowest-cost new fossil fuel alternative, helping to avoid an estimated $480 billion in fossil fuel costs by year’s end."

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?

Egypt played their asses off. should've finished it. next Cup I wouldn't be surprised to see 2-3 CAF teams make the quarters, maybe even deeper

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.

The Liberal Party has a secret to ruling Canada: campaign on the left, then govern on the right. From Mackenzie King to the Trudeaus to Mark Carney, Martin Lukacs breaks down a century of Liberals posturing as progressives—only to serve as faithful servants of the corporate elite.

All your money is going to the military, pipelines and AI

What these people are actually supporting is total and complete removal of anonymity from the web, and cutting off millions of vulnerable kids lifelines and ability to get news and information abt the world, all for zero benefit and lots of harm

You can laugh at Poilievre's speech all you want, but he is effect endorsing Carney’s insane mitary spending

That’s why I’m so glad that Belgium didn’t just beat them but embarrassed them. They think they’re above the rules and regulations that everyone else has to follow. It wasn’t even a great transgression but a simple red card. But they’re so arrogant that open corruption to change it is cheered on.

am I happy to see two African teams in succession give Argentina absolute hell? yes, yes I am
