B.C. farm hit with record $435K penalty for foreign worker violations The penalty to Kanwar Walia Farms is the largest ever handed to a B.C. company for breaching laws meant to protect temporary foreign workers

Shameful and disappointing response.

@reecejones.bsky.social Spotted side-by-side!

YouTube video by The Breach Pierre Poilievre is misleading the public about refugee healthcare

Pierre Poilievre says refugee claimants are undermining Canada’s health care system—but it couldn’t be further from the truth.

@desmondcole.bsky.social fact checks his misinformation and explains how blaming the most vulnerable distracts us from fighting for good health care for all.

Today on GET LIT! We talk with Marcello Di Cintio about his book, Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers.

I Don’t Recognize Alberta Anymore - Macleans.ca My province has always fought with Ottawa. What’s new is a premier who gives legitimacy to separation.

Maclean's approached me about writing a personal essay on Alberta Secession and my opposition to it.
It was published today.

Congratulations, Mark!

Migrant farm workers’ class-action suit against Canadian government certified Ontario court clears major hurdle for the suit that claims systemic racism and discrimination on behalf of 75,000 current and former migrant workers.

More excellent work by @nicholaskeung.bsky.social.

I'd still rather travel to Mexico than the United States.

Toronto harold satire site headline: "Canadian Olympic hockey teams to bring back silver medals to home country that has healthcare and stable democracy"

okay, this is funny, though

While it's fun pointing out Smith's hypocrisy on immigration, we need to focus on her real intentions.

By proposing immigration restrictions as the solution to Alberta's problems, she casts immigrants as the cause of those problems - rather than her own cruel incompetence. This is dangerous.

Danielle Smith Is No Separatist. She’s Much Worse | The Tyee The premier’s referendum plan is destructive, divisive and ultimately evil.

I’m going to need you to be a little more specific.

what's your guys favorite credit card number and expiration date

It's unfair they made Matt Tkachuk read the lineup when he doesn't know all the letters yet

Not impressed. Try being a patriot on Mountain Standard Time.

These pics are of my conversation with the Google AI app on this search. My part will be marked with a "Q:" for question, and its will be an "A:" for answer. Q: what comedy show used the recurring line "Bong! start again!" as a gag? A: The recurring line "Bong! Start again!" was a signature gag in the British comedy series The Benny Hill Show. The line was typically used by Benny Hill himself to interrupt a sketch that was "going wrong" or becoming too absurd, often while playing a flamboyant or incompetent director or interviewer. After the loud "Bong!" sound effect and the command to restart, the scene would immediately reset to the beginning with the actors attempting to play it "straight" again, only for the same or a new comedic mistake to occur. Are you looking for a specific sketch where this was used, or would you like to see other famous catchphrases from the show?

I'm like most of us: grappling to understand this "AI" thing and just what it is and isn't…

Today I had this enlightening encounter that really helped in this. I'm going to capture it here as my own record, but also for others who may learn from it too.

I was trying to trace a joke punch line… /1

Alberta Premier defends fall referendum plans Danielle Smith stumbles when asked about costs of providing health care and education to newcomers; NDP says referendum proposals designed to inflame

Premier Danielle Smith said she doesn't know how much newcomers cost Alberta’s health care and education systems, despite scheduling a referendum to ask whether social services to those residents shd be limited b/c of cost

Looks like the separatists are trying to get signatures at Calgary Public Library branches. And at the Nicholls Family branch they want to do it in secret. Since this goes against the library's political use policy, I've been told this will be disallowed.

For what it's worth, the House had a chance to effectively ban floor-crossing in 2012: C-306 would have required an MP to run in a by-election before sitting with another party.

It was defeated by a vote of 181 to 91 at second reading.

Just 3 Conservatives voted in favour, 142 voted against.

Unreal.

An independent Alberta would have nothing in common with Norway Norway is a country defined by aggressive climate policy, high taxes and public ownership of oil and gas operations. So why do Alberta's separatists keep pretending it's a useful comparison to their f...

My latest: Alberta's separatist leaders keep using Norway as an example of why an independent Alberta would work.

Let's put that to the test, shall we? #cdnpoli #abpoli

My neighbourhood pool needs to “clean up a contamination” before lane swim can start and I’m trying not to think about it.

There's a frequent poster on one of the Alberta separatist Facebook groups who keeps referring to transgender people as Tran's as if they belong to some Vietnamese dude named Tran.

Wanna guess which of these names the most Facebook commenters are fixated on?

Swiss Olympic bobsled commentator broke a century of neutrality and spent the entire run of the Israeli bobsled team recounting all the pro-genocide remarks and social media posts by Adam Edelman, one of the apartheid state athletes.

Absolute legend. More of this in sports please!

My favourite Alberta separatist delusion of the day:

In an independent Alberta, the Oilers and Flames will rack up Stanley Cups, and Alberta Olympians will “own the podium,” because of favourable tax rates.

Happy PLR Day to those who celebrate!
