Absolutely horrific.
Canada’s massive border bill, C12, has been adopted after third reading at Senate.
C-12 will become the country's largest machinery of deportation: deporting refugees without hearings, retroactive bars, and mass status cancellation.
A mirror of anti-migrant ICE violence.
AT LEAST a living wage for the people who feed us.
$35 to pick a 900lb box of lemons.
I pay $1 each at the grocery store.
A living wage wouldn't make a nickel's difference.
I did not hear any keystrokes.
Fukkin' hell.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
“Israel is doing as much as it can,” says Gideon Levy about the country’s expanding warfare. “As long as the American support is so massive, so blind and so automatic, this will go on.”

A little wait while the robo-operator puts you through to a human.
"Hi, my name is (x). I live in (y). I've learned that Pr Ford wants to shield himself from Freedom of Information requests. I find this quite disturbing and I want to voice my objection."

I hear you and I understand your frustration but, shaking our collective heads from outside your country, your faith in checks and balances is naïve.
He is a symptom of the collapse of your empire, not the cause of it.
Not holding my breath.

Two men who occupy prominent positions in Canada’s media landscape just travelled to Israel, where they received a briefing from the Israeli government.
Yeah. What are journalism ethics anyway?
Those men were TVO’s Steve Paikin and Global News’ Ben Mulroney:
Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water.
What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains.
And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.
A friend who works for a Canadian federal gov't department said they may have an opening for an editor in the spring.
I said, "I thought you'd started using AI for editing."
"That's why we need an editor."
Solid oped.

If you don’t stand up for those, you’re not standing up for Canada.
Sorting... or filtering?
They TOLD US to apply for CERB even if we weren't certain we qualified, that it would all come out in the wash at tax time.

“Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
“The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities.”🪶
I suspect it's closer to home than that.
Doug, himself, got dinged and now he has his knickers in a twist.
