If Google stopped providing GMail for free tomorrow, there is nothing any Canadian government could do about it.
And quite frankly, nor should they.
If you want e-mail as a critical service, make Canada Post an e-mail provider.
And make it accountable to the people through Government.

Fantastic aurora all over the northern hemisphere and, once again, it's cloudy where I live. 🙃
Not sure I have ever seen this color of aurora before - literally pure blue and indigo. This is happening now over central Canada in Rabbit Lake, SK.

This is a very kind wish. But I'd also like to ask you to follow other Canadian senators who are already here, and who haven't been as lucky as I have in connecting with an audience. I convinced a fair few Senate friends to give this platform a try, but many didn't feel it worked for them. #cdnpoli
#canadiansky Let’s get the Senator’s follower numbers up to demonstrate engagement here is good comms strategy.

Honor has no price tag. It is bought only through actions, through conducting yourself with integrity, with kindness towards others, with ferocity towards those who promote hatred and bigotry. Nor can anybody, no matter how wealthy, buy it or take it from you. Honor is priceless.

Anyone who thinks the trans panic is about protecting women hasn't been paying attention.
My insurance company just sent me a letter saying they will stop covering two of my prescriptions because they are ‘not medically necessary’. Which ones?
1. My testosterone, because I am not a man
2. My menopause meds for hot flashes because, after all, women should just deal with it.

"“The kinds of figures we’re talking about—that would actually save public money, remember—are rounding errors in most transportation budgets,” @brenttoderian.bsky.social says. “So cities are literally wasting public money by not investing in smart bike infrastructure.””
“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” My interview with @modacitylife.com #CityMakingMath
Opinion: Why more urban cycling saves everyone money | Urbanized
The resulting benefits of a ‘car-less’ household are myriad, but few are as quantifiable as the money most people sink into a depreciating asset that sits unused for 95% of the time.

In the last decade, Britain's nine million-strong nighttime workforce has become increasingly reliant on migrants. Despite this, the government is clamping down on overseas workers in response to growing anti-immigrant sentiment

* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

They are telling you something that is true... from a certain point of view.
This is an absurdly misleading headline. Andor is 24 episodes, not one movie.
Minute for minute, Andor cost FIVE TIMES LESS than The Rise of Skywalker.

For 8 great Star Wars movies (or, more exactly, narrative arcs), that seems more than fair to me. ☺️
