The government proposes "allowing institutions to extend response timelines when they receive multiple access requests from the same person." This is fucking insane.

Information commissioner ‘disappointed’ by lack of federal ambition on access reform Information commissioner says most of the complaints her office receives relate to the failure to respond to applications for documents within legislated timelines.

We functionally do not have a legislated Access to Information system in Canada.

Federal departments face zero consequences for simply ignoring the rules. They are effectively allowed to only hand over documents if they feel like it. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Mark Carney’s Stance On Iran Throws His Davos Doctrine Into Question “What we’re hearing right now, at a time when it really matters, is … that we’re giving in.”

NEW: Mark Carney’s ‘regretful’ support for the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression against Iran is a capitulation to Trump, and an abandonment of any notion of ‘middle-power’ leadership.

Warren Kinsella and Senator Charles Adler are coming to Ben Mulroney's defence and blaming TV producers for Ben sharing video game footage as if it were real air combat videos from Iran on his personal X account

(I don't think they understand he is sharing this stuff on X, not on TV)

Documenting 25 Years Of Media Fearmongering On Iranian Nukes Canadian media has warned Iran is weeks, months or years away from obtaining nukes for at least a quarter century.

NEW: Canada’s media class have been claiming Iran is weeks, months or a few years away from obtaining nukes for at least 25 years.

@davide.readthemaple.com provides a timeline of these claims, which are frequently used to justify war and/or sanctions on Iran. www.readthemaple.com/documenting-...

Important to note though that her tweet was just quoting her own remarks from a presser this morning.

Anand now appears to have deleted this statement.

Global News’ Ben Mulroney Shared a Video of Airstrikes. The Footage is Actually from a Video Game. The host of Global News’ West Block gets lost in a misinformation-driven fog of war as American and Israeli forces strike Iran

NEW FROM ME:

While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran

I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game

X/Twitter post from Anand reading: "Re strikes on Iran, it is key to remember that “Canada wasn't involved. We weren't notified, and we do not have an intention to be involved in any military strikes or operation." In addition, Canada believes in a diplomatic and peaceful solution and in my conversations with my counterparts in the Middle East and Gulf countries, this is precisely the issue that I raise."

Days after Mark Carney endorsed the US-Israeli war of aggression, Minister Anita Anand is now trying to distance Canada from it and says her government supports a "peaceful solution."

Shameless weasels.

The Union That Doesn’t Like Confrontation The Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) prefers to work with, not against, employers. So what happens when workers want something different?

The CLAC prides itself on being a "different kind of union," in that it doesn't believe in confrontation.

Sooo… what happens when workers want something else?

A Mossad-Linked Israeli Org Is Trying To ‘Shut Down’ The Maple The organization has sent demand letters to Ontario law enforcement and global payment processors.

An Israeli org praised by the country’s politicians is trying to get @readthemaple.com shut down. Shurat HaDin has claimed to have issued legal notices to payment processors and written to multiple legal and police bodies “calling for a criminal investigation.” An abhorrent attack on the press.

ShuratHaDin "Shurat HaDin has issued urgent legal notices to Stripe, Apple Pay, and all major credit card networks demanding they cut off services to a website that is listing and monetizing Jewish institutions across Toronto. This isn't free speech - it's a threat to Jewish safety."

A Tel Aviv-based group that describes its mission as going on the "legal offensive against Israel’s enemies" says it is trying to "shut down" Canadian news organization @readthemaple.com

Shurat HaDin is lobbying Canadian police to arrest a Canadian journalist
