I, for one, find Carney's push for less government accountability and diminished oversight of corporations quite concerning.

Yep, as long as most people can turn on the TV or order their iced coffees, they are completely apathetic to anything happening overseas or even outside their own neighborhood. Its just unfortunate events on the social media feed.
This is so exhausting. We do not live in a binary system, we have a multi-party parliamentary system. It matters a lot whether there are progressives holding balance of power or not. And PP is worse excuses nothing Carney does.
Or we could directly regulate disinformation, abusive material (like Twitter CSAM) and hold the platforms accountable instead of forcing people to upload their identification to the sites that are so untrustworthy you need to insulate people from them...
Just a thought, @mark-carney.bsky.social
These "critical resource projects" (oil and gas) are literally enriching the American fossil fuel companies that are at all of Trump's meetings
None of this makes Canada stronger, in fact we are falling behind in green energy and raising our energy costs by supporting these O&G export projects.
Every day it becomes more and more clear that productivity gains were vastly oversold and the business case for genAI continues to weaken... Once the money dries up and they cant give it away for free for the masses to plagiarize everything, its only use will be surveillance and propaganda.
Starmer pretending to have a spine? This is a pleasant surprise
I keep starting new shows and stopping after 1 episode because I think my wife would love them, so just end up rewatching Scrubs for the billionth time
Remember when Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the last release of Windows and they would just update it in perpetuity
The Liberals and Conservatives voted for Bill C-15, allowing two ministers to override 99% of Canadian law so large corporations can act against Canadians’ interests. We must end American-style two-party system and bring in #NDP to hold right-wing parties accountable.
Further evidence that all the "attracting foreign investment to our province" does almost nothing for the people that actually live here

Ben Mulroney quietly changes subheading from "Only in the Middle East" to "Only in Battlefield™"
The NYT style guide
Canada condemns Iran's retaliatory attacks Justin Li Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said in a statement that Canada "strongly condemns the attacks of the Iranian regime against our partners in the Middle East." Anand further urged Canadians in Iran to shelter in place and said Ottawa will "provide all possible support to Canadians throughout the region." Canada currently has no diplomatic relations with Iran, nor does it have an embassy there.
The United States and Israel have the right to bomb and murder whoever they please.
The countries they attack have no right to fight back.
This is the exact double standard on international law Mark Carney was praised for calling out at Davos, but which he continues to participate in.
We have a PM who supports US military escalation across the world, who supports big tech AI, and is creating partnerships with a country that was found to assassinate people on Canadian soil.
Wheres the PM thats elbows up for Canadians?
New Canadian trade deal with India only allows for 1 assassination per year
The BC NDP just announced a $400 million handout for private companies. Working people deserve more than austerity and a captured government. We deserve financial stability through a wealth tax, an affordability agenda, and an end to this era of corporate capitulation. #bcpoli
"Maybe the city's full" says the man living in a 2.7 million dollar house on Palmerston, while sipping $170 scotch after defeating a multiplex proposal across the street.

No pictures from the train as I didn't want to annoy the commuters and it was fairly busy. But got some nice shots of the plants from Yumenoshima Greenhouse!
I've found one line in Tokyo that is similar in speed and volume to Skytrain, the Yurikamome line that serves the artificial islands is not particularly fast.
Great views of the city and from rainbow bridge, however! Family not happy about the extra 30 min I added to our commute w this detour. 😅
Repeatedly watching how she pulls the mic away when he speaks on private equity & I can't stop thinking about the way that our employment system forces people into craven cowards that have to do real-time self-preservation calculus that results in actions that conflict entirely with class solidarity
This guy gets it.
Think about this.
Armies of people out there, incentivized by a company hired by politicians to post AI-generated political messaging as if it’s their real, organic thought.
Dystopian sci-fi? Nope. Reality.
I’m partnering with @nationalobserver.com to share @rorywh.bsky.social’s huge story:
i will never be able to unsee this
why would you ruin Will Arnett like that
Literally just a paid contrarian at this point. Political theatre is too generous a word for Fontaine's antics.
Pictures of Tokyo in Shibuya.
OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever.
One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.
