Ignoring that prisons are full and loads of cases can't go to trial because our justice system is underfunded, this is a terrible ideal that won't solve anything (esp. a crime problem we don't have) and won't help people who need actual material assistance.

Canada’s bail and sentencing laws are about to get a lot tougher.

We’re amending the Criminal Code to help keep violent criminals and repeat offenders off our streets, and we’re introducing stronger sentences for auto-theft, organised crime, and home invasion.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

Critical minerals have long been touted as the key to the global energy transition because they’re used in everything from EV batteries to solar panels and wind turbines.

They’re also essential to the production of military equipment.

Global instability is creating a rush for critical minerals, which are useful for green energy. And the military.

New analysis of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first 100 days after the federal election show oil and gas, mining and other industrial groups made up about 60 per cent of lobbying records. Environmental groups couldn’t get a word in. thenarwhal.ca/carney-natur...

Carney welcomed industry lobby, ignored environmental groups: records | The Narwhal

Records show resource industry lobbyists had regular access to Prime Minister Mark Carney in his first 100 days, while environmental groups were shut out

The premier's Home Depot story is so obviously a lie but based on such believable truths (threatening people in parking lots, protecting the business interests of the "little guys" like Home Depot) that it works all to sell his horrible bail reform shit. What a fucking ghoul.
