December 9th, 2025 - Evening Session - Legislative Assembly of Alberta
YouTube video by Legislative Assembly of Alberta
Awkwardly, the Alberta legislature TV channel has broken in the middle of debate (committee of the whole) for Bill 9, in which the government seeks to use the notwithstanding clause to shield three gender bills from legal challenges.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Fatal crash in Vancouver FTES; police seek witnesses
After a fatal collision in the cityโs DTES on Sunday evening, the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) is asking witnesses to come forward.
Horrified to learn of another pedestrian killed on Hastings in the DTES. This is the most dangerous stretch of road in the whole province for pedestrians yet the city refuses to do anything other than put up 30km/h signs with no enforcement. Hastings needs a road diet and real traffic calming.

Terribly stupid idea that will satisfy faux-populist urges to dunk on public servants while simultaneously making the lives of public servants and the service itself so much worse.
Goofy stuff.

My latest for @breachmedia.ca: When Saskatchewan's government brought in anti-trans laws, unions pushed back.
Right-wing premiers are using the notwithstanding clause to attack their culture-war punching bags. Solidarity between unions and trans advocates in SK shows how to put up a fight.

Nanaimo city council votes down proposed drug policy letter โ The Discourse.
At the Dec. 1 Nanaimo City Council meeting, a motion to send a letter to the province asking it to reexamine its approach to "the ongoing addiction crisis" was voted down.
"It does save lives, but saving those lives for what purpose?" asked Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog during a city council debate about overdose prevention sites and the province's approach to harm reduction in the toxic drug crisis on Monday night.

Paramount throws in more cash in bid for Warner; Comcast wants to combine assets with NBCUniversal
Jockeying for HBO-owner Warner Bros. Discovery has intensified as the auction appears to enter its home stretch.
these are all terrible options, and if we lived in a functioning democracy with working regulators we'd think nothing of putting a blanket end to pointless media consolidation
these deals are always terrible for product quality, consumers, art and labor, but this is always downplayed in coverage.
