That's a step increase in employment of 20-30% for building trades employment. Sean Strickland from @cdntrades.bsky.social sums it up perfectly: "Canada’s transition to a cleaner economy represents one of the most significant job creation opportunities in our country’s history." #canlab /4

A report by EDGI “found that under the current Trump administration, the EPA is at or below its lowest historical staffing levels [from the 1980s]. The authors estimated that the entire agency’s staff might be reduced by 25-33% by the end of the fiscal year.” www.wbur.org/news/2025/09...

In our latest for The Breach, Jared and I do a deep dive on how continued tax haven abuse is not just despite our government policy - it's because of our government policy.

Sad to learn Yves Veggies Cuisine is discontinued via insta comment, ouch. It is/was a (not always great) staple of being vegetarian and vegan in Canada. Especially in rural grocery stores: dailyhive.com/vancouver/yv... brb actually considering how to start a nationwide plant protein cooperative

BREAKING: Today, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), which manages over $714 billion of Canadians’ retirement savings, quietly abandoned its commitment to net-zero by 2050. This is a shocking failure of responsibility from one of the world’s largest public investors.

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data. "As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported." nsidc.org/data/user-re...

📡 at very long last, today is the big day! my beloved book, OTHER NETWORKS: A RADICAL TECHNOLOGY SOURCEBOOK, is officially available for pre-order! 1/5 #othernetworks shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/495898...

Look at this great bibliography!

I attended this last year, and it was 🌟. Given the toxicity + cowardice of FAANG, we need to imagine smaller, lower-tech, less evil tools + systems! Now seeking proposals (due Jan 26!) for wrkshps, performances + art at this year's event, March 13-14, keynoted by the great @loriemerson.net!

Access to space! A community of peers! Starting locally! This incubator looks like it has all the best things 🤲🏼

This is an amazing post asking r/sysadmin for recommendations about legacy system modernization www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/c...

Just chatted with a friend about the lack of real membership orgs in our lives and how sad canvassing to mobilize can feel. This article sets up what is at stake: “not just the democracy of elections—the democracy of everyday life, where we routinely and communally participate in power”

Here’s my pitch: the Democrats should take a few million dollars and fund free childcare centers and bowling nights in swing districts resnikoff.beehiiv.com/p/the-party-...
