I had a look at the list of books that the UCP wants to pull from libraries in schools. “The Hate You Give” by Angie Thomas is on that list. I’ve read that book. I consider it one of the most important YA novels of our time. It needs to be read, talked about and understood.

Canada Post is a vital Canadian institution—why doesn’t the government act that way? The federal government, and Canada Post management, seem content to manage the decline rather than saving the postal service www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Removing environment, safety, and liability requirements is not “red tape reduction”. It’s corruption and selling the future for a few bucks today. Shameful.

A while ago I filed a freedom of information request for the ChatGPT logs of Alberta Technology Minister Nate Glubish, who is responsible for AI development in the province. The response: No such records exist.

Good Christ. Trump seemed to think the chancellor of Germany considered the end of WWII a sad day somehow. Merz had to explain, no, America liberated us from the Nazis, dipshit. That was a good thing, you absolute fucking moron. I paraphrase only slightly.

This is why we don't have to clean our windshields after a road trip anymore. When I was a young person, you literally had to scrape the bug splatter off. No more, sadly.

Folks, please read through this thread. Florida's State BOE has opened the door to imprisoning media specialists and banning hundreds of books in every district without formal process with the claim that 600 books are "undeniably pornographic." Book bans are an assault on freedom. Full stop.
