The new robber barons: a quarter century of wealth concentration in Canada Wealth and political influence tend to reinforce each other. Tracking who owns wealth and how that distribution is changing is more important than ever for the health of our democracy and the future ...

Some really insightful commentary from Dr. Cottom here - much deeper than the usual pro and anti viewpoints. What kind of future do you want to build?

Tara Armstrong needs to get recalled. Spreading unfounded stories hours into the unfolding of a generational tragedy because it fits her opportunistic and hateful political narrative. Absolutely heinous. Not a single useful thing for the community. She should be shamed under a rock.

Shut up shut up shut up do you want us to get bombed

Honestly this sounds like a good time

Dark Money, US Think Tanks and a Canadian TV Network | The Tyee The News Forum grows while broadcasting a lot of talking heads tied to the libertarian billionaire-backed Atlas Network.

"Canadian Taxpayers Federation, the Canadian Constitution Foundation, SecondStreet.org, the Montreal Economic Institute and the Fraser Institute all have in common are direct links to the Atlas Network, the U.S. dark-money coalition of billionaire libertarian ideologues."

I'm really looking forward to it, honestly

Respectfully disagree - a soul's companion, sure.

look, if we don't stand up for Canada Post, governments of the future will claim transit organizations need to be profitable, and hospitals need to be profitable, and schools need to be profitable, and they'll chop up as much of the public trust as they can and sell it to their friends for nothing.

New Brunswick figured it out before us? New Brunswick? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts.

Send us your queer, your gays, your fabulous theys yearning to check out our hop-on, hop-off bus tours and watch us chop wood or whatever

Join The 51st The 51st is a worker-led nonprofit news source for D.C. Our reporting is rooted in our conviction that local journalism is meant to make people’s lives better — no paywalls, ever. But that's only…

6/ The Post has lost over 375,000 subscribers in just over a year. If 10% of those readers subscribed to The 51st instead, we could hire 10 reporters and five editors, dramatically scaling our coverage of the city at this critical time. 51st.news/signup

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

This is cool as hell

Fuck yeah, go you!

This is a reasonable model for commodities, but does it take into account preferences or any other varying needs between parties? Eg: if you dislike oranges and I dislike bananas, at lunchtime we could swap fruit and both be better off.

I don't want to disagree with you because hey, what do I know? But also I saw your post just as I was about to post that I don't think the regime will send militarized goons to break heads if a few hundred people showed up at Schumer's office, for example. Could you elaborate?

That's good but not what I want; I want to see a post *the first time* I view the post (note: not identical to it being included in the feed) and not again. That includes reposts/quote posts from people I follow.

I recognize the irony of my question given that I do a lot of RT and QT and replies with little original content. But: I need a bsky client or means of deduplication; I see so many posts reposted into my feed again and again, and I want to skip the repeats and see new content. Suggestions?

I'm sorry for linking to the middle of this thread, but I cannot emphasize enough that this account has clearly articulated the same devil's bargain that we have here in Canada with the CPC/LPC duopoly. The leaders of the LPC fundamentally don't disagree with conservatism, just presentability.
