When we broke our coppers at the legislature building and the parliament building here in Canada, we broke a spell of false dominance and control. The true custodians of Mother Earth.

@pauldechene.bsky.social Ottawa just dumped its parking mandates! I didn't realize that those drive up housing costs, too. #YQRCC #YQR
🚨 Yesterday, Ottawa City Council approved its new zoning bylaw, abolishing parking mandates across all urban and suburban regions of the city!

Hear what councillor @arieltroster.com had to say about the importance of removing parking mandates.

Placing a layer of algorithmic recommendation on speech does not make speech less free, but it does pervert it.

Algorithmic mediation turns speech into a resource extracted from human behavior.

Platforms do not value speech because it is protected, they value the service it provides them.

I was disappointed that it wasn’t a link to join the CCF
Wow, Calgary! Nearly 300 packed the iconic Legion #1 last night.

94 years ago in this very room, AB/prairie farmers, faith leaders, and workers founded the CCF, predecessor of the NDP.

Today we're going back to our roots as a movement of movements.
