The rate of pre-trial detention has more than doubled in 40 years, and the number of people in pre-trial detention has quadrupled over the same time period.

We have a problem with bail in this country, but it is not what the Liberals and Conservatives are telling us.

They’re doing this because it’s so successful

Billionaires want to go to Mars because there are no anti-slavery laws there.

Very well done. The right wing is melting down and the Indigneous hatred within the meltdown is pervasive and sickening. Please read. Correct the misinformation.

Billionaires are more interested in using their wealth to colonize Mars than they are in using that same wealth to reverse human-caused climate change here on Earth.

There have been some misinformation being spread by governments and politicians about the recent BC Supreme Court decision in the Cowichan Tribes v. Canada case.

Hopefully, this clears things up.

You are welcome.

Thanks for this detailed analysis, resulting in the finding that “the more supervised consumption services are used in Lethbridge, the fewer substance-related deaths and EMS responses there are.”

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

Column | The hidden way using a rewards card can cost you more Companies use rewards programs to build profiles of you and figure out exactly how much you’re willing to pay. Two former FTC officials say it’s a trap.

“Loyalty programs have really become backdoor laboratories for pricing…There's a lot more happening in the background that is targeting and squeezing each consumer's willingness to pay.”

I swear, orthodox economic theories (supply-and-demand, supply-and-demand *squawk*🦜🎵) and the pundits who parrot them are increasingly hopeless in the face of predatory pricing strategies and tech

So looking forward to my electricity bill skyrocketing AND having the power go out constantly.

This government isn't content with giving away money to oil and gas, now she wants in on the AI bubble just in time for it to burst in our faces.
