I can be persuaded by facts, carefully-defined statistics, and cogent arguments but not much else.

Once one government learns it can override your fundamental rights, every government learns it can too. That’s the danger of the Notwithstanding Clause. It teaches power to ignore accountability.

Draw the line. Defend the Charter.

How Certified Canadian Publishers Keep Our Stories Close to Home | The Tyee A new national program helps readers easily spot and support Canadian-owned book publishers.

It hasn’t always been obvious when buying a book meant investing in a Canadian business.

The Certified Canadian Publisher program is a bid to change that. πŸ“šπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ #TyeePresents #Sponsored

A.I. people love to say "right now it's the worst it'll ever be" as if we haven't watched all websites get steadily worse over the last 10 years. You think it's going to be better once they bloat it with a million data trackers and pump it full of ads?

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

Can confirm. Live debt free with property. Had to move. Even with assets to more than cover, had a hard time getting a bridge loan.

$1.28 billion in UCP waste.

The latest flip flop added $143 million in wasteful spending to the UCP's failed record.

The cost of this government keeps rising, and Albertans are paying the price.

His was the celebrity death that affected me the most, and I suspect as no other ever will. The poignant cartoon of Chris welcoming him through the pearly gates just had me shatter into pieces.

Mine was the vice versa. I got 9 mins of deep and an hour of REM. However, the last two days of sleep have been really good, so I hope that will take the edge off.

Canadians, in our push to support Canadian products, are finding out that nearly EVERYTHING is owned by a large (usually) American corporation and is manufactured in China.

I would go deeper to say that we’re no longer establishing the definitions of terms in arguments. The stand out fallacy here is equivocation, but agree-upon meanings are important in a debate for other reasons. Language will change, but setting shared meaning at a debate point is important.

The UCP Hits Propaganda Overdrive with Alberta Next | The Tyee The government's β€˜surveys’ are all about manufacturing consent for Danielle Smith’s agenda.

The Alberta government’s β€œsurveys” are push polls with zero validity as a measure of public opinion and with consent baked in.

If you participate, the only answers you can give will in most cases imply your agreement with Premier Danielle Smith’s plans. @djclimenhaga.bsky.social writes. #abpoli
