The Doug Ford government’s proposal to amalgamate conservation authorities received 14,000 public comments. Ontario now has a $20-million final plan to make it happen.

Also, why is it that nobody is charged with price-fixing when prices at the pump shoot up long before the gas that actually cost that much has even been refined? And why do the media and politicians treat this as normal an unremarkable?
Has anyone heard from Steven Fucking Pinker recently? I’m dying to hear “actually, this is all pretty good news.”

Report on pollution from corporate mining in DRC - again. It is not just artisanal miners, & not just a 'China' issue.

"No US official mentioned clean energy technologies as they promoted the new minerals club in Washington last month. Instead, the trading bloc aims to break China’s dominance...and ensure US access to the resources it needs for digital and military sectors"

"Paris Marx @parismarx.com is joined by Brian Merchant to discuss the history of the Luddites, why we have their story all wrong, and what we can learn from them today."
I send this to everyone that mentions Luddite as if it was a bad thing

I did not expect that setting fire to the tamagotchi fields would so drastically affect the price of this year’s tamagotchi crop.
R.W. Tomlinson Ltd. is more than just a "quarry owner." But the real question is to what extent they also own city council. You don't need a biology degree; anyone with any sense or experience knows you can't just replace destroyed wetlands. @arieltroster.com @glengower.ca www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
It was sort of fun while it lasted.

The Investigative Journalism Foundation has exposed a mostly AI-generated local publication in Surrey, B.C., called Surrey Speak. It's laden with factual inaccuracies and AI-generated images, all being shared by the account’s 10,000 social media followers. via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...
Apparently Mark Carney had a speech impediment and is unable to say “clear violation”.
"It appears that these actions are inconsistent with international law."

Me: Carney supports the attacks on Iran.
Carney fans: No he doesn't. He didn't say that. Read his statement in the most generous way possible. He's just playing 4D chess.
Carney: I support the attacks on Iran but I feel sad about it.
Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.
So much for Proton’s promises of privacy. Sad.
At some point people may clue in that “unlocking” and “unleashing” are code for speculation and fraud.

"Reconciliation." Federal program funding for urban Indigenous communities is set to expire at the end of the month, and expected cuts of more than 50 per cent to renewed funding will 'result in the loss of life,' says NDP MP Leah Gazan. www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0... (paywalled, sorry)
As Tony Benn says - doesn't bombing strengthen the determination? and, I would add, the determination to resist, to harbour resentment, to retaliate?
What future does the US and the State of Israel hope to build?

Canada shouldn’t have a "blind spot" for arms exports.
I’m calling on all MPs to support my Bill #C233 to close the loophole on military exports. We need consistency & transparency to protect human rights
Debate: March 9

And maybe fix a big hole in the Alberta budget.
Made me curious so I randomly checked 3 of them. They all seemed like pretty decent lefties. So even more curious. I mean, if I were attacked & had to block more than 100,000 I’d probably just leave. Or even 1000. Even if my hobby was trolling people, then blocking them, this is just too much work.
I am so tired of the world being run by evil, grasping men. I also don’t love the evil, grasping women, but let’s be real, they’re vastly outnumbered
The pull quote is from the Sam Altman piece linked under this article. It’s worth reading.
Mutual appreciation is crucial. I love what you do. So there.
