Just so that we are clear, Israel drops criminal charges on five Israeli soldiers who were caught on camera sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee. But Israel will keep kids in prison for decades because they were throwing rocks? Make it make sense πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

So if using AI actually does erode human cognition the way studies suggest, then it's a feature instead of a bug?

The world is gross enough without "take away people's ability to think so we can sell it back to them" being on the list.

The Fallout from Reporting on White Nationalism in Canada | The Tyee Journalist Rachel Gilmore published an investigation in The Tyee. The men she unmasked showed up to intimidate her in person.

Efficiencies won't solve hospital financial crisis, Ontario Hospital Association says There's a billion-dollar structural deficit that is growing rapidly, said Anthony Dale, CEO of the Ontario Hospital Association.

The only efficiencies that will fix our hospitals is if Ford is more efficient in giving hospitals the health care money he’s sitting on:

β€œOntario, the most populous province in Canada, spends the least per capita on acute care, hospital beds and staff.”

Bruce Arthur: Travis Dhanraj aimed to reveal β€˜editorial imbalance’ at the CBC. What the former TV host told MPs was more about him Dhanraj’s β€œeditorial imbalance” complaint, aired Tuesday at the federal heritage committee, appears to be that the CBC hired him to host a news show, but he wanted to do more politics. So there was fr...

The testimony of Travis Dhanraj was absurd: he misrepresented his time at CBC in multiple ways, and a huge swathe of Canadian conservatives saw what they wanted to believe. In a way, it was a very instructive example of how Canada’s conservative sausage is made. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Along with a pipeline to the west coast, carbon capture is another ill-thought and dumb idea of the Carney government.

There is no way to "decarbonize" a carbon.

Canada belatedly suggests that the USA & Israel should comply with international law.

At the same time as the Carney government votes down a bill that pleads with it to comply with international law.

"The rules based order just up & died. Such a shame." says a guy actively stabbing it in the back.

Former CBC host Travis Dhanraj tells MPs of internal conflict over sources and political bias Travis Dhanraj, who hosted the program β€œCanada Tonight,” previously filed a human rights complaint alleging discrimination, harassment and bullying as a person of colour.

Good reporting from @calvileon.bsky.social, who gets David Cochrane on the record, and gets the CBC to explain some of how TV actually works. The Canadian right went crazy over Travis Dhanraj’s testimony today, which was a farce. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

The Ford Government just laid off over 300 teachers in Peel. This comes just a few weeks after they took over the school board, citing concerns that 60 teachers may be laid off due to funding shortages from the Conservative government. #ontario #onpoli #dougford #onted #frankdomenic🍁

Liberals Fear Closing Arms Export Loophole Would Anger U.S. A leaked briefing document gives the full picture behind the government’s talking points.

The Liberal government just voted down Bill C-233, which would have regulated arms exports to the United States, including those that are resold to Israel.

They opposed the bill because they are afraid of upsetting their masters in Washington.

Your high school teacher was right: math is important.

The oil + gas industry is pushing to use Alberta's methane math, which would result in millions of excess tonnes of pollution.

We can't let big polluters off the hook.

"Note, as well, that ownership of Canada’s corporate news media is highly concentrated, and our biggest newspaper chains claim to be struggling to stay in business. One, Postmedia, is two-thirds owned by an American hedge fund."

Larger special ed classes putting kids at risk, teachers say A TDSB superintendent has said having larger diagnostic kindergarten classes increases access for students, but some teachers say it’s making classrooms less safe

Canadians are being crushed by the cost of living while those at the top hoard obscene wealth.Β 

We need a government with the courage to tax that wealth and invest it in what we actually need.

That’s how we build a strong, independent economy that can stand up to Trump and work for all of us.
