New Ontario Fire Code rules require additional carbon monoxide alarms in homes

Does anyone care about schools in Ontario, because as I've said, Ford Nation doesn't. Our school's are doing so badly, the children are not getting what they need. And neither are the teachers. He doesn't care about people, he cares about businesses. And only certain ones for certain ppl. #corrupt

From CBC News: U.S. tourism faces $5.7B US loss as Canadians continue to stay home. Keep it up, Canada! #BoycottTheUSA

The early snow has us in holiday mode, so we’re checking out what’s coming back this season. Magic of Lights @themagicoflights is returning to Ottawa, London, and Barrie with its drive through Christmas lights and a new walk-through spot...

Its my understanding that the house doesnt need any dem votes to pass the bill as is, so it doesnt matter what dems want anymore

Have we had enough yet? Senate Republicans say they will only agree to extend expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) funds if Democrats accept new, stricter abortion restrictions on insurance plans, creating a major standoff that threatens to raise premiums for more than 20 m Americans next year.

The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power. No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality. The BBC should call this convicted criminal’s bluff.

#NovaScotia New N.S. government hiring directive says only 1 of every 2 vacancies can be filled Finance Minister John Lohr says move is in response to provincial deficit #HoustonFail (This is the provincial deficit that Houston's PC govt caused) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

🧵On our revelations today about the BBC Coup and the Prescott Dossier. The leaked ‘BBC Bias’ memo Trump used to attack the BBC was authored by Michael Prescott — a Hanover lobbyist paid by US tech/media giants tied to Trump. Full story: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b... 1/12

“This work provides really compelling interdisciplinary elements — genetics, brain analysis, history — to really challenge assumptions, both the ethnic and cultural homogeneity of early medieval England,” www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Normal isn't coming back so get off your knees and fight back - what they have planned for us is far worse than anything they've already done.

The GOP crime spree continues, unabated. In fact, now they are demanding payment for our audacity to question their criming.

This is what losing the trade war looks like

With @mjsdc.bsky.social and Marc Busch of Georgetown on what real, actual economists think about tariffs (and why Trump is likely gonna lose this one)

Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says France is also concerned about US military operations in the Caribbean, citing violations of international law. This comes after the UK yesterday stopped sharing intelligence with the US over the execution of civilians in small boats. This will be a drip feed

“Because its output is generated by users of the chatbot via their prompts, OpenAI said, they were the ones who should be held legally liable for it – an argument rejected by the court.” The AI business model: liability for thee, not for me.

Policies like these — and the budget is rife with them — are incremental and reactive. They are the opposite of transformational. Canada is facing three intertwined crises: US instability, the climate emergency, the digital economic revolution. Old, incremental thinking simply won‘t cut it.

If you’re hell-bent on cramming AI into every part of the government, why aren’t you building your computing capacity first? Europe is light-years ahead of Canada on these issues. They remain trustworthy allies. Why is the EU being ignored here?

If it will take three years to replace Amazon Web Services, why not use to budget to GET ON WITH IT? You think that young, patriotic techies wouldn’t jump at the chance to secure Canada against the US? We needed moonshots. Instead, we got tax incentives.

If building out digital capacity is so important, why rely on inducements and hope for the best (while paying a premium in the form of private firms’ profit margins) instead of just building it yourself?

(Also, stories like this reinforce the suspicion that the government’s recently concluded AI consultations were almost entirely for show. It’s pretty clear that Carney has already decided what he wants to do with AI.)

“The Liberal government plans to use its buying power to spur the development of data centres in Canada, but won’t yet commit significant sums to fund projects itself.” Lots to unpack here, including many questions that probably should’ve been answered before Carney decided on his AI strategy.

For critical digital infrastructure, does it make sense to rely on a private sector that‘s beholden to the US market and thus vulnerable to US government pressure? What about the privacy risks that come with outsourcing your data to any private sector entity?

Good work, #Canada: “Why would I want to give money to a country whose president has stated that they want to annex my country, and has put in massive trade barriers?” Hans asked." www.cbc.ca/news/busines... #CBC #news #USA

This is going to be a big old thread where I dump thoughts, reactions, charts etc from the @iea.org World Energy Outlook 2025 :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlkP... www.iea.org/commentaries...

In 2025, total investment in data centres will be greater than total investment in oil supply - globally

nothing new here: the IEA is still downplaying data centre growth as immaterial despite the fact it accounts for more total demand growth than all heating for the entire human species. Standard whataboutism iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/af5ac...

Critical Analysis of Jane Philpott's Health for All ojs.scholarsportal.info/ontariotechu... Jane Philpott's Health for All is sadly lacking in critical analysis of the current economic and political environment in which health policy is being made.

If we are serious about preserving Canada’s democracy and sovereignty, Canadian institutions need to stop tolerating the intolerant! 👇 Amongst other things, that means blocking X, Rebel and others making $$ from purposefully purveying disinformation and division.

“A Financial Times analysis of more than 350,000 posts on X related to the election, gathered since the snap poll was announced in March, revealed a network of co-ordinated accounts pushing content to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish his counterpart, the Liberal’s Mark Carney.”

The utter lunacy at every climate-wrecking step of this scandalous business model is hard to overstate: killing old-growth🌲 in BC, trucking them to plants, turning them into pellets, shipping them half-way around the 🌍, then 🔥 them. All subsidized by 🇬🇧 taxpayers. @stand.earth @tzeporah.bsky.social

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand a BIG reason why cycling [aka riding a bike] is so dangerous in North America, and one of the biggest villains in the origin story of our unsafe status quo, invest some time watching this one, by NOT JUST BIKES (aka @theurbanistagenda.com here). Then share it.

Northern lights were spectacular in Edmonton tonight.

China’s CO₂ emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months — a stunning milestone as solar & wind power surge. With 240 GW of new solar added this year alone, the world’s largest emitter may have already peaked — years ahead of 2030. #EnergyTransition #BESS #Solar #Lithium #LFP #EV #Disruption

Over 400 Mi'kmaq served in WWI, WWII, and the Korean War? Yet First Nations weren't recognized as Canadians until 1956 and couldn’t vote until 1960. Thus, we were allowed to fight and die for a country that didn't recognize us as citizens. Least we forget. Thankful for all who served ❤️❤️❤️

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.” Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

Amendment which strikes section which “allows senators who were legally subpoenaed during the January 6 criminal conspiracy investigation to get millions of dollars deposited into their bank accounts at taxpayer expense” voted down by Republicans

Canada better start paying attention, before it's too late. "US tech titans are building toxic politics at home and looking to export. Gil Duran has a warning for Canada." thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

People who benefit from the status quo and who dismiss our demands for action as unrealistic, know this: We’re not going to politely acquiesce in our own extinction forever www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Raskin: If this were to pass, this astounding provision would give eight Republican senators a personal payday of at least a million dollars each, paid for by the U.S. Taxpayers at a time when we are throwing millions of people off of their health care…
