Homeroom teachers only? What's the rationale for that?

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

Blowing up hospitals is a war crime, and as we saw in Gaza is a specialty of the Israel / U.S.

Carney government chooses Trump and arming genocide over international law as Liberals vote down ‘No More Loopholes’ Act Ottawa, March 11, 2026 – The Arms Embargo Now Coalition condemns the Liberal government today after the House of Commons voted down Bill C-233, the No More Loopholes Act, legislation that would have c...

"He doesn't believe it. No one does. But he places the sign anyway to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along." - Mark Carney

Hard to decide whether this offends me more as a journalist or as a citizen, but then I guess I don't need to choose.

Canadian governments hate and fear the public, a continuing series.

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.

Doug Ford is doing this. He is harming us on purpose

Carney is revealing himself as a true Conservative: knowing the price of everything but the value of nothing. We expect this from stupid people like Doug Ford not from highly-respected economists. But here we are.

This is just plain cruel.

Arms dealers, AI, and fossil fuel interests feed at the public trough. Austerity for everyone else.

She still seems to believe everything she says, but there's definitely panic setting in.

It's astonishing that Starmer, the former human rights lawyer, stands by this. Does he think firing her would make him look weak? racist? disloyal?
Regardless, maybe it's him who is?

Tarred and feathered would be a fine start, even.

And that's just since 2000.

At some point he'll govern in Canada though, right?

Playing at being anti-elite when you’re campaigning for an Oscar is a bit counter-intuitive. But maybe they like that?

Slightly better than “special operation.”

Projecting, as always. It’s Netanyahu who actually wants to take over the entire Middle East.

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me except long-term stability in oil."

Decoupling from our deep dependence on the US economy is going to be more vital as it collapses. This includes our food supply.

IFM Investors wants to pump $10b into Canada Canadian PM Mark Carney has shown “a real willingness to welcome inbound, like-minded capital”, says IFM’s global head of infrastructure, Kyle Mangini.

Today we're revealing the cuts plans for our immigration system from Budget 2025. TLDR: These aren't efficiency savings they are major services cuts and cost downloads to cities poised to wreck our immigration system. @policyalternatives.ca 1/x

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

framing this as an "error" is doing everyone responsible a huge favour they don't deserve. the entire administration should be up on war crimes charges and the data centres should be permanently shut down

Carney's hope that austerity and sacrificing our culture and heritage to pay for shifting Canada's economy to a US-style military-industrial complex will somehow save us from the US is remarkably short-sighted.

Western countries backing what the US and Israel are doing in Iran aren’t just going to lose legitimacy in the eyes of their domestic publics, but are shredding any notion a new alliance of middle powers or whatever can defend any semblance of an international order.

The oil is flowing into the sewers and the streets are on fire in Tehran

Seriously, can anyone think of a product category where such a high percentage of options sold are so poorly designed to do their primary job as bike racks? Can you imagine if 40% of corkscrews couldn't really open a bottle of wine? Or water fountains where it's basically impossible to get a drink?

This didn’t age well…

Ditto for Canada. Even admitting interdependence would be too bitter a pill for many of them.

If they trained it on the Israeli practice in Gaza, it's no wonder it identified a school as a valid target.

Garbage in, garbage out. Evil in, evil out.

"With snow clearing the message should have been, “You see this is bad. We see this is bad. We’re going to do something about it.” Pretending otherwise can have the opposite intended effect, eroding trust and faith in the civil service."

Spot on!
