I had already read the essay,
but watching it was as fantastic.

This Cory Doctorow talk is so awesome. One of the most punk proposal I have heard lately.

I really hope Canada does it!
Thanks @pluralistic 🤘💚

“We are currently living through a paradigm shift in the speed, scale and severity of risks driven by the climate-nature crisis. Yet many regulations and government actions are dangerously out of touch with reality.”

Canada needs to become a disenshittification nation.
“Canada is in a good position to do this. We've got motive, means and opportunity, but we're not the only ones. Most of the countries in the world are situated to take advantage of this opportunity…Their margin is our opportunity.”

Love this @pluralistic

Everyone who has lost someone knows the feeling of waking up crestfallen when among your first thoughts in the morning is the painful reminder that they’re not coming back. Those who knew Catherine O’Hara, or just laughed from the comic icon’s many hilarious portrayals over her decadeslong career, are experiencing that pain today. @RollingStone gives us a lift with this list of O’Hara’s best performances: flip.it/0Auxef

Plus, @npr reminds us how O’Hara played drunk better than anyone: flip.it/Gw4Kzx

@people shares the role that was most important to O’Hara: flip.it/yHgKW8

E Online reports on the undisclosed illness that resulted in her hospitalized O’Hara: flip.it/5Efssc

@AlJazeera has tributes from her fellow actors: flip.it/6bK6Zm

And The Ringer describes how O'Hara was just beginning to get the recognition she always deserved:

Tributes pour in for beloved actress Catherine O’Hara

Actors and politicians honour O’Hara, who died this week at age 71, for her comedic ‘brilliance’ and generosity.

My fellow Canadians, if you want to be part of the USA, you can move there freely on your own. I encourage you to do so.

"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason," said Eby ahead of the meeting.

How Canada can defend itself from Trump, make billions of dollars, and build a new, global, good internet.

From @pluralistic to #Canada:
"…don't worry: you can't make the word-guessing program into a "#superintelligence" by shoveling more words into it. That's like betting that if you keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will eventually give birth to a locomotive.

So I don't have any suggestions for you today for ways to lose billions of dollars. I don't have any ideas for how to destroy as many Canadian jobs as possible, I don't even have any ideas to make Canada more dependent on US tech giants.

No, all I have for you today is a plan to make Canada tens of billions of dollars, by offering products and services that people want and will pay for, while securing the country's resiliency and #digitalsovereignty, and winning the trade war, and setting the American people free, and launching our tech sector into a stable orbit for decades."

Vancouver city council calls on #Canada’s fed regulators to address headlight brightness

“Margie Sanderson with Vision Zero #Vancouver, a group that advocates for better street safety, says not only are headlights brighter, but on large vehicles they are also higher up.”

“They pierce right into your eyes,” said Sanderson. “We know that it’s a safety issue, it’s blinding people.”

Interesting and motivating read: "...the way we get Carney to live up to his Davos speech is by pouncing any time he even hints that he might go back on his word, poaching his voters by campaigning on a promise to live up the Carney Doctrine (even if Carney won't). Promising to live up to Carney's Davos speech (even if Carney won't) must be the central issue in every by-election and provincial race between now and the next federal election."

Couldn't have said it better, @pluralistic

@avilewis put #DigitalSovereignty on the table - and then showed up here on the Fediverse to prove he means it.

He's got my endorsement too. Remember, there's only 1 day left to get a membership and vote!!!

The US is threatening #Canada (again) if we don't buy their F-35s. Here's what Denmark said about the ones they bought, and regret buying:

"They're in for repairs about half the time or even more," he said, "so the Americans have all the power of actually destroying our air force just by shutting down [parts] supplies."
