As long as Canada supports zionism, Canada will harm Indigenous people living here. Zionism and Reconciliation DO NOT exist together. It is impossible. If you're a Canadian and you value Indigenous people and want to build better relationships with them, you must denounce Canadian zionism.

Canada Post wants to create a new class of flexible, part-time worker that will better compete with Amazon and implement “dynamic routing” so delivery routes can be changed on the fly. It’s a good example of how Amazon degrades workers’ rights even beyond its walls. Workers are right to push back.

Yes. I’d go further and say we need to bring back crown corporation on a massive scale. Publicly owned us better for both the worker and everyone who uses the service. Privatization means poorer working conditions and shittier, more expensive service.

My expectations of Canada Post are: • that it provides reliable, affordable services throughout Canada — even (especially!) rural locations; • that it does so through the efforts of an adequately-remunerated workforce. My expectations of Canada Post are NOT: • that it turns a profit. That's nuts.

That's the precedent being set, using the language of safety to override the Charter by targeting a group nobody is going to be sympathetic towards.

After literally years of work, I am very happy to share that Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) takes effect this April! I first started pushing for this with former Councillor Ben Henderson. Sometimes good things take time. :) www.edmonton.ca/programs_ser...

Whatever you think librarians get paid, I can assure you it's not enough for what they do for our communities. Defund the police. Fund the libraries.

The U.S. still runs courses for dictators and would-be dictators on how to disappear people. They wrote the fucking handbook, literally. And it's naive to think they just started to do it domestically now - but being so blatant is what sets this apart.

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace. If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

While this is from St. Albert, I want to offer my support to Mayor Cathy Heron who has rightfully called out this abhorrent behaviour from a very small number of people. It’s not included here, but these individuals were also pictured giving the Nazi salute.

Of all the meaningful things that need to be addressed in this country, barring people the freedom to identify by their chosen gender is such a weird one to hone in on because it has absolutely no impact on my day-to-day while greatly enhancing their lives.

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop. I want our World Wide Web back.

"We need to call privatization what it is: adding a profit tax onto a public good. A public post office puts all its resources toward delivering mail. A privatized post office will divert a large chunk of its income to shareholders. In what universe is that better?" @snmrrw.bsky.social

Fun fact: Everything is 50% off on my website from now until January 4th. That includes things that might already be up to 50% off. Plus if you're in the US, you already have 30% off, so add that all up and it's like 85% off. Loxythemaker.com
