Tax the rich

was ‘heated rivalry’ failed by its publisher? everyone's devouring the new TV series, so why can't people buy a copy of the book the show is based on?

NEW: It’s not just readers that suffer due to Harlequin’s mismanagement of the' Heated Rivalry' books. Reid misses out on royalties, & booksellers miss out on commissions—which is especially painful during the holiday season when many small businesses make the bulk of their money.

It’s so good Jack!!! I’ve been a huge fan of the books for years, and the show is truly phenomenal. Also Rachel Reid (the author) is a massive Habs fan 😉

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Human rights groups are sounding the alarm on Bill C-12, the government's border and immigration bill - calling it straight out of the Trump playbook

"Canada should not be violating migrants’ rights, especially those of women and children”

🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼

Very cool job opportunity, with the very cool @hscoffield.bsky.social at the newly formed Canadian Tax Observatory.

Rachel Gilmore on the anti-DEI movement: "I think that to attack these notions is a dog whistle to the worst elements of society that are seeing a slide towards a more fascistic world. And every politician who engages in that should be ashamed of themselves."

Rachel Gilmore: "Thanks to a confluence of factors—including the advent of social media, incompetent moderation from tech giants and manosphere influencers creation of soft entry points for a more radical ideology—anti-feminist ideology is experiencing a resurgence."

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Tellement!

The Polytechnique massacre wasn't just a mass shooting — it was a mass femicide. The gunman explicitly targeted women and blamed feminists for the troubles in his life. We must fight like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Don’t you dare forget their names.

Really sad to see @catabreu.bsky.social & @simondonner.bsky.social quit Canada’s Net Zero Advisory Body. Cat and Simon are globally respected climate leaders. More than ever, Canadians need experts giving independent advice about how Canada can achieve its goal of net zero emissions.

From The Montreal Massacre To The Van Attack: Here We Are, Again - Chatelaine We can resign ourselves to accepting the violence or we can commit to fighting like hell to ensure it never happens again.

Here is what I wrote in 2020, once again exhausted at people's refusal to name the problem for what it is - misogyny.

🧵 On 6 December 1989 a man entered a mechanical engineering classroom at Montreal’s École Polytechnique with a semi automatic weapon. Separating women and men, he shot the women, screaming, “You are all feminists”
14 women were murdered. Today we remember their names and not his.

Canada's Heated Rivalry Destroys The Worst Trend Of American Streaming TV - SlashFilm The hit Canadian series Heated Rivalry is a breath of fresh air in a streaming landscape actively suffocating its audiences.

There's a lot of talk about the steaminess of #HeatedRivalry, but there are more reasons to watch. Jacob Tierney's direction and the microexpression work of the actors is sublime — especially as mainstream American-produced streaming prioritizes "passive viewing."

I am enjoying the gay hockey show.

My favourite romance-turned-TV show has reached another level in pop culture and I am here for it

These 2,900 individual billionaires could lose 75% of their wealth and still be richer than 4 billion people.

Inequality is eating the whole world alive.

Federal net-zero body falling apart in wake of Alberta-Ottawa deal Two prominent members of the Net-Zero Advisory Body, including its chair, have resigned this week, citing a lack of influence over a government that’s increasingly pulling back on climate action.

The Net-Zero Advisory Body is *legally* mandated to consult on Canada’s climate plans but has been completely ignored by Carney and Dabrusin. It appears that it is being bled dry — and now two of its most prominent members have quit in frustration.

Supriya Dwivedi: Mark Carney is giving in to the bros Fighting poverty and violence around the world means embracing feminist ideas.

So happy my girl @supriya.bsky.social is out here opinionating again: "When Canada walks away from feminist policy, it abandons a key driver of poverty and strife. And when Canada appears to bow to bro-signalling ... it has joined the league of polite misogyny." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

People used to say, with great confidence, that variable renewables could never safely provide more than 5% of grid power. That estimate has crept up ever since, though the "great confidence" part never wavers.

Anyway, about China ...

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Petro-Provinces at Risk - Carbon Tracker Initiative How oil- and gas-dependent Canadian provinces face fiscal strain as the energy transition progresses  A number...

See CarbonTracker’s new report “Petro-Provinces at Risk”.

Energy transition puts at huge risk provincial revenues from oil & gas in 2030s:
- AB ⬇️ 85%
- BC ⬇️ 72%
- SK ⬇️ 78%

Oil & gas expansion is increasingly a “high-risk, low-reward strategy”.
