And digital literacy. And national defense. And energy politics. And justice. And public safety. And housing.

youtube.com/watch?v=mxPy... I am glad PM Carney apologized and has this kind of behavior is unacceptable.

If Canada lets a knowledgeable candidate like Carney slip through our fingers, in favour of an idiot like Poilievre, we will have proven that we're no better than our neighbours to the south #cdnpoli

open.substack.com/pub/broligar... Most important call to action for the Canadian election. Will anyone notice in time? #privacy Data rights are human rights. AI has been trained on many of us without our consent.

Good reminder here: Immigration authorities in the U.S. have been collecting social media data since Trump 1.0. Now they're using it to justify their "catch and revoke" scheme. Important reporting and analysis by @tekendra-parmar.bsky.social www.compiler.news/mahmoud-khal...

Wow. Brian Burch, critic of Pope Francis, to be vetted as Trump's Vatican ambassador www.ncronline.org/news/brian-b...

Glad to this excerpt in a Globe journalist’s bio: “Shannon was raised in a working-class family in Sault Ste. Marie and can't quite shake her fascination with how social class figures in public life - or, more often, how we ignore it.” NB. Class war / corruption is what fuels MAGA.

While Brazil's bishops work to spread the message of ecological conversion, traditionalist Catholic groups have called for a boycott of their campaign, saying the bishops want to "substitute the spirit of Lent" with a focus on integral ecology.

#Electoralreform can save democracy, if enough people want it. Personally, I want capable, reasonable and responsible human beings to be free to create and be productive and not ruled by monarchs, oligarchs, despots or corporate legal persons.
