The 2025 Federal Budget falls short of the action Canadians deserve. @elizabethemay.bsky.social, Leader of the Green Party of Canada, and @morricemike.bsky.social, former Green MP for Kitchener Centre, explain why Greens can’t support a budget that doesn’t measure up.

We now know who the PM expects to make the sacrifices he spoke of: everyday folks in communities like ours.

Instead of a tax increase on the ultra-wealthy or scaling back some of the billions in subsidies to foreign big oil companies, this government plans to cut $56 billion in services we rely on.

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Air Canada strike:

“We’re going to stay committed to making sure that those workers can do the job that they love doing and actually be able to afford a roof over their heads, to afford caring for their families,” CUPE president just said.

“If it means folks like me going to jail, then so be it.”

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived.

They are demanding action from Mark Carney.

Their testimony is our failure.

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

An article titled "How the Web Became Unreadable", posted on Medium. There is a soft paywall asking you to sign in, covering most of the article. Screenshot found on Mastodon https://beige.party/@mayintoronto/114497234942335666

I know these stories are very scary to see, but I promise you that your libraries are MUCH stronger than a hateful man, and the pitch-perfect final paragraph proves it.

No response is necessary more than the normal response for overdue books. This man has done nothing special in librarian eyes.

Critics call out problems with encampment bill Advocates say Ontario’s proposed encampment bill will only make the homelessness crisis worse. CTV’s Alexandra Holyk explains.

The Ford government's anti-encampment bill won't help solve the homelessness crisis. All it will do is criminalize those who are already down on their luck.

We need more supports, not more stigmatization.

Mark Carney deployed unbelievable levels of blandness in defence of Canada. Blandness like you've never seen.

Kinda perfectly encapsulates the whole vibe of police that, after brainwormed occupiers terrorized their residents for weeks and made kids miss chemo appointments....

...they're endorsing the guy who brought those occupiers doughnuts

Canada needs a simple and consistent way to discern between bad-faith propaganda outlets and people who do journalism, or this is going to continue to get worse.

This isn't about left versus right. You can do good journalism from a conservative perspective. It's about your goals and processes.
