What the Alberta government just did should worry all Canadians.

When they legislated striking teachers back to work, they went a step further:

They used the notwithstanding clause.

This is part of a worrying trend.

@emmettmacfarlane.com helped me break it down:

One thing I've discovered (but am not writing about) is that in the 4 years since the GPR findings at Kamloops of 215 potential unmarked graves, Canada has almost certainly filled 215 more (200-240) with Indigenous children in foster care.

Three things to do to support Wikipedia:

1. Dump Google. Make DuckDuckGo with AI turned off your default search.

2. When the information you want is not in Wikipedia and you find it elsewhere leave a comment on an article talk page pointing to it.

3. If you have the means, donate time or money.

to this i would add a good amount of self-loathing stemming from a belief that liberal political views are somehow β€œinauthentic” or an affectation of β€œelites”

Still nothing from major Canadian English-language media (that I’ve seen).

I feel like this is really odd?

Like I’m almost starting to worry it’s…personal from newsroom decisionmakers?

I hope it’s not because that would be very upsetting lol

unironically, charlie kirk would have considered comparisons of his life to that of MLK to be an insult because he considered king to be a bad human being. he said that. publicly

This story is a fun case study in "how do you get stories?"

Step 1: Notice your kid (whose school has many low-income and Indigenous kids) gets school supply after the school covering that in recent years. Also the school's 10 Free Books program mysteriously didn't happen last June.

How Can Canada Better Support Working Parents? | The Tyee Catch up to other countries with flexible hours and parental leave, a think tank says.

New research is calling for the federal government to implement policies that already exist in the U.K. and New Zealand, including a national sick leave policy and the right for all working parents to request flexible work arrangements. #canpoli

social housing is less than FIVE % of Canada's housing stock

we don't have the right to housing. its an idea that hasn't been realized, a right that the federal government has the authority, resources and mandate to fulfill – if we demand it

mass homelessness didn't exist forty years ago
