The Premier is ordering teachers back to work by invoking the notwithstanding clause from the airport lounge. #ableg

Quw’utsun Nation (Cowichan) is reassuring private landowners they have no desire to take homes and is criticizing the mayor of Richmond and province of B.C., among others, for “negative and erroneous messaging.. provoking unnecessary fears.” www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

I keep seeing people say that with the upcoming Alberta law, it’ll be the first invocation of the notwithstanding clause against striking workers. That’s not true. Ontario did just that back in 2022. And crucially, workers continued the strike and forced the government to repeal the law.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights? An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote. I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

There's a new collection out and if you are interested in Indigenous women who make digital media then you are gonna love this! (I am also in it 😆)

Yep. There's this also this unshakeable belief that wealthy tradesmen can't be middle class because they wear overalls to work, but some poor sod stuck in a customer service centre is because they wear a lanyard and participate in dress down Fridays.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

The 1st report on CorruptCare is out. It confirms allegations that hundreds of millions of tax dollars went to companies connected to friends & supporters of the UCP thanks to deep conflicts of interest & bad contracts. We need a public inquiry to get the answers Albertans deserve. Pt 1/2 #abpoli

I get kind of annoyed by the "ai is actually good at ____" and is it? Are you cross referencing the output with verified data or did you get a few results that satisfied you and now you assume it is always mostly correct and helpful? Do you appreciate how easy it is to trick humans

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

"Tax the rich and end this horseshit" may be the most winning campaign slogan I have ever heard.

Marshall Smith is a putrid, pathetic lickspittle who consistently cheats & changes the rules to get by. "Debate me!" and then has to pull strings to remove the logical rebuttal of his horseshit. Fuck him & every other pathetic UCP toady. thebreakdownab.substack.com/p/danielle-s...

I expect a fucking apology from every single person who told me this "assisted dying" law they're bringing in was definitely not going to involve murdering autistic people and that the original plan was definitely not a slippery slope.

Trauma bonding isn’t when you and someone you know both have trauma so you build camaraderie over shared experiences. Instead, it’s when you feel a bond to the person who is your abuser. Often mistaking fawning for affection and interest in a romantic relationship.

I think the weirdest thing about working as a ballot counter was hearing 20 years being super anti bike lanes and upset that the city was wasting money on them. Not you know, the province withdrawing municipal grants or stuff, or the bedroom communities dumping their homeless here, or the massive 1

I met ICP out of makeup and didn’t know it was them, at one of their shows in the 90s. It was a fairly small venue with an arcade and they were playing one of the games. They were really friendly and left my cousins and me some quarters. They talked about the arcade and we figured out it was them. 😅

The Gamer was pretty much the *only* outlet willing to stick their neck out for us adult game makers. Their coverage was invaluable in getting the word out about payment processor censorship 😥
