Thinking of how in Canada, the Liberals gave money to Canadian pasta producers to be able to compete with Italian imports, which I thought was a good example of how free trade is a dead end.
Trump trade war costs US Italian pasta: “Exporters say import and antidumping duties totaling 107% on their pasta brands will make doing business in America too costly and are preparing to pull out of U.S. stores as soon as January.” Via WSJ

As an indie podcaster since 2016 with a day job, I found a lot of this discussion about the stark realities of making a podcast in Canada rather relatable (if not triggering 😏).
This week on The North State, I’ve got budgets on the mind. Not the federal budget, but how the hell independent journalists get paid. I sat down with @arshy.bsky.social of The Hatchet and then @nicolefroio.bsky.social of @theflytrapmedia.com to get the ins and outs of paying for news. #cdnnews

The news that Lethbridge police got away with stalking, harassing and threatening Phillips because the chance of conviction was too low is an indictment of the entire justice system in Alberta.

St. Thomas was like this too. Family farm was in Port Stanley and I used to love going into St. Thomas and cycle around - convenience stores, used bookstores, record stores, coffee shops, you name it, all over. I noticed one of the last neighbourhood convenience stores closed 5 years ago.

Meat prices are crazy, meanwhile you can eat really well on legumes and other grains along with vegetables.
Our store has 20 feet of a fish counter fully stocked and I rarely see anyone buy anything and the fish looks pretty sad.

The produce section at the grocery store is always packed. Then they cram a farmer's market stand in there so you can't easily move around. And the enormous section dedicated to meat? Virtually empty.

In Canada, this has changed significantly -- the rich have never been richer and a majority of low income renters live in property that solely exists to funnel profits to shareholders via rents and disrepair.

The neighborhoods I grew up in in London Ontario were like this. You could walk a couple of blocks to the variety store where you could buy milk, bread, candy or test your television tubes. There was a neighborhood barbershop 💈. Doctor across the street with an office in his house.

We actually moved into one of the few parts of Regina that can claim something like neighbourhood retail. It's pretty great. And it's impossible to build anywhere else now. Either the zoning won't allow it or the developers can't imagine it. But propose another Costco? Council hands out subsidies.

I didn't realize it, but when I moved to Quebec City I sought out a Sesame Street life and against the odds of this city, I found it.
Great article by @shawnmicallef.bsky.social about how Toronto killed Sesame Street (the style of urban living, not the show). I'm sad Toronto decided against neighbourhood retail but it's heartening they even had the conversation. We're still years away from even talking about that in Regina. #yqrcc
