The transactional coercion affecting Canadian sovereignty is highlighted in this video.
It's not just about the jets; it's about succumbing to blackmail and an inferior product.

Calling #Alberta 's expansion into private healthcare an "experiment" is like calling Russia's invasion of Ukraine an experiment. They aren't "trying" something, they're encroaching on public healthcare and plan to replace it. It's not an experiment, it's a first wave. #cdnpoli #cdnhealth. #Canada

This contractor drove a snowplow through a crowd of Palestinian protestors. One day suspension was all she got, so far. 😒

"It leaves the impression that even when facts are available, we are too deferential or too intimidated to chase them down.

Power has a way of spooking us. When an accusation comes from someone with a serious résumé—former cabinet minister, diplomat—newsrooms might simply stand down."

After former MP Chris Alexander's explosive accusations against reporter David Pugliese were debunked by experts, the media simply moved on. In his latest editor's letter, @cstarnino.bsky.social considers why journalists left the case's tough questions untouched: thewalrus.ca/was-chris-alexan...
On the left: an illustration of two people; one has a rule book as a head, the other is looking at the first over another large book. On the right: text that reads “Was Chris Alexander fed false intel about a so-called Russian asset? Journalists still need to challenge government leaks and official statements or no one will.”

Great advice here: "If you want to get a sense of where things are going, pay attention to the insurance industry."

Taking that advice and applying it to Canada's fossil fuel extraction and climate change, how's your home insurance looking?

In more AI bubble news, major insurers are declining to insure risks from AI chatbots & agents, saying AI models are too unpredictable & error-prone with no one clearly liable when things go wrong. Firms & universities better consider this in their rush to adopt AI.

Exploding the Business Case for an Alberta to BC pipeline

No need for a huge political fight between Premiers @Dave_Eby and @ABDanielleSmith.

Just don't build the pipeline. Do something smarter, like make carbon fibre with bitumen.
