In 2021 I asked the Canadian government how much it was spending fighting First Nations in court - one access-to-info request specifying four cases. Today they got back to me.

PSA to avoid Uline like the plague for your packaging needs.
Clearbags has every specific bag and board you could want and there’s also good old BCW for comic & art sleeves on Amazon.
Clearbags has every specific bag and board you could want and there’s also good old BCW for comic & art sleeves on Amazon.
Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

CBC has put together an impressive collection of clips exposing Diagolon and Second Sons in their own words. These are white nationalists and neo-Nazis who want an ethnic cleansing and believe "violence is the answer." Largest group of its kind in Canadian history. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

I keep hearing that charities in Ottawa are struggling with fewer donations, but I have not heard anyone suggest that maybe it’s because thousands of public servants are waiting to hear if they’ll lose their jobs in the New Year – imminent unemployment makes people cautious about spending money.

A million trees was a great sound bite during the election. But when push comes to shove, it’s not about aspirations, it’s about will. We have the means and the budget, we just didn’t make it a priority. We’ve opted instead to cut down trees, expand our suburban boundary and hamstring the future

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.
