Here's my story on B.C. changing its generous property tax deferment program. The Conservatives have criticized it for "attacking seniors", but on first look its one of the few things in the NDP's government that managed to get a significant amount of applause. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Reeling from the loss of a good friend yesterday, Shadowling. He had epilepsy and we believe his death was related. I've made a charity campaign for the Epilepsy Foundation of America in his memory: tilt.fyi/kahuZVIF3x Incentives include 100%ing GPW2, any%ing Fresh Hops 2, cosplay and more.

becoming important at work was a mistake, but it dwarfs in comparison to the ongoing mistake of also being reliable and competent

A survey by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) shows Canadians overwhelmingly love winter sports and many want fossil fuel companies removed from Olympic sponsorship because of climate change concerns.

Quick reality check: My car's got a ~75 kWh battery. If that battery put out 1 kW of power, it could run for three days. Get a thousand of those and you have a megawatt of power for three days. Get a million of those and you have a gigawatt of power for three days. Hyundai has sold 250,000

My heart is with the families, friends, and teammates of JJ Wright, Cameron Casorso, and Caden Fine after this tragedy in Alberta. JJ and Cameron were from Kamloops, and their loss is felt across our province. Young lives, taken far too soon. www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Solidarity! Strong federal public services keep decision making in Canadian hands. We must reverse these cuts to good paying, stable jobs that support working families.

On this day, we reaffirm that Canada must be a country where everyone can practice their faith without fear, where communities are protected from hate, and where justice is always pursued for victims of violence and discrimination.

There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason. Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. 🇨🇦

Canadians, It's the last day to register as an NDP member if you want to vote in the federal leadership race.

You’re on the right path, Mark. Canada must stand on our own two feet. British Columbia has your back. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Across Canada, Conservative premiers are preemptively reaching for the notwithstanding clause. Using it to override rights instead of protecting them. We need to talk about what that means, who it harms, and how we stand up for the people being targeted, from workers rights to trans kids.

this has been stuck in my head since yesterday (good thing)

Not ideal conditions for filming, but this message couldn’t wait. @ubisoftcanada.bsky.social — you should be ashamed of yourself. Our campaign stands in solidarity with the workers in Halifax

Canada finally reacts, through our foreign affairs minister (not our prime minister). Really, embarrassingly timid statement when you consider what just happened.

Trump’s unilateral military strike on Venezuela is a dangerous escalation that tramples international law, undermines sovereignty, and sets a perilous precedent for global order. We need diplomacy, not reckless intervention.

Workers create wealth, it’s time we had our fair share. Join our campaign at robashton.ca

Big companies will have a choice: Raise worker pay, cut excessive executive pay, or pay more back into the public good. The choice is theirs.

It’s time to fight corporate greed. This is my plan to make the economy fairer for working people!

did this happen? no did this person admit he was wrong after I called him out on it? also no are big changes based on how much/little value changes relative to similar nearby properties, since cities determine rates separate from assessments? yes do people fear monger for clicks? absolutely

We need a Royal Commission on AI, and a new modernized, Artificial Intelligence and Data Act, and a government willing to address the problem. I know how to take on corporate automation, and win, I’ve done it before. But it requires all of us Robashton.ca
