RE: mastodon.social/@CdnCurmudgeon…

This accurately reflects #Canada, too. Canadian snowbirds are selling their US winter homes; they aren't going back when Trump is gone.

"After putting Donald in the Oval Office twice and handing Republicans control of all three branches of government, there is very little reason for other nations to trust us. The consequences of that betrayal may last for generations."

The End of American Credibility
Donald has turned the United States from a democratic leader into a nation feared by allies, embraced by authoritarians, and trusted by no one.


Next week there's a major arms fair in Ottawa. Representatives from two zionist weapons companies are speaking there.

In unrelated news, the paper that reported this story has had its application for credentials to attend the conference refused. Repeated requests for clarification and reasons behind the refusal have been met with silence.

Yes I think so.

Remove ultra richism. End billionairism. Like "protect against aneurysms" - financial as well as medical.

Tax fairly.

Robustly.

The longest economic boom in history was created by FDR and continued by Truman and Eisenhower. Defeated the Nazis, built the interstate, colleges, homes for soldiers and retired the WWII debt.

Economists called the robust tax period "The Golden Age of Capitalism" -- not even ironically.

The liberal governments keeps pushing for #BillC22, and we just wrote to SECU to demand full withdrawal. The #surveillance powers are dangerously unsafe. This so-called 'lawful access' bill MUST NOT PASS! 👉 View our latest blog for its latest developments and why we need your action NOW.

The difference is that these are Westerners, while they consider Palestinians "human animals". They don't want us seeing how they treat our own, but they can't comprehend that we see Palestinians as humans too. That's why only this worries them, while we're outraged at the rest of it.

The Israeli military has detained hundreds of activists who sailed to Gaza to break Israel’s blockade.

In the face of unending genocide and impunity, they continue to challenge Israel, to keep the spotlight on ongoing genocide.

At least 11 Canadians are among those taken.

We're calling on the federal government to drop its usual kid gloves treatment of Israel and exert real diplomatic pressure to secure their immediate release.

1/ This announcement marks the Carney government’s official surrender to the oil and gas lobby.


By gutting carbon pricing to the point of irrelevance, it has dismantled the last federal climate measure standing. We now have a federal government that no longer even pretends to rein in big corporate polluters.

This also applies to Canada's Liberals. The reasons the Democrats and Liberals do not do basic and very popular stuff like this are:

1. They're hopelessly corrupt, and
2. By not doing what people want, they can use it as an election issue year after year.

"Oh hey look it was literally always that simple to fund basic public services. What the fuck were you doing for 50 years, Democrats?"

It’s time to build affordable homes, a national network of public grocery stores, electric buses and an east-west clean energy grid. Not massive corporate AI data centres unleashed without any democratic debate.

There's also no real data sovereignty in an AI ecosystem dominated by U.S. tech giants. Telus may be Canadian-owned, but it has already transferred 14 petabytes of Canadian data onto Google Cloud as part of its AI strategy.

This is a technology that will bring sweeping changes at a scale and speed never seen before. Canadians deserve real oversight and a robust regulatory framework before we rush ahead.

That’s why we’re calling for an immediate pause on the construction of any new AI data centres until strong federal guardrails are in place.

We can’t sit back and let Big Tech billionaires decide our future for us.

#Canada’s military went from a ‘death spiral’ to a recruitment boom

“Canada is seeing its biggest military recruitment surge in 30 years.”

Canadian privacy entities of federal and provincial govts find that OpenAI has been breaking the laws, but they believe that a gentle slap has set them on the right path.

Basically they broke every privacy law.

This fills me with dread about the ability of current govts to protect Canadians from commercial abuses.

PIPEDA Findings #2026-002: Joint Investigation of OpenAI OpCo, LLC - Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

PM Carney seems ready to suspend environmental regulation in Canada under the illusion that he can buy political peace with Danielle Smith (ie the oil industry).

The benefits will be real: for a handful of companies with already-bloated profits.

The costs will be real too: a rising tide of economic and ecological disaster that sinks all boats.

“War is bad. Don’t start one. But we’re already in a class war and we’re losing. Where by “we” I mean most people; the winning side comprises, roughly, the richest 0.1% of the population, who are morphing into a hereditary aristocracy. So, what to do in a war one didn’t choose?”: tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/20…

“Privacy preserving age verification” is bullshit
Take it from the guy who invented it.

"zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) — a way for two parties to validate that one of them asserts a fact without learning what that fact is in the process (this is super cool stuff). Users can send their subcredentials to a third party, who can use a ZKP to validate them without learning anything else about the user — so you could prove your age (or even just prove that you are over 18 without disclosing your age at all) without disclosing your identity."

Required reading for every politician after age verification?
