Meta says some of their old rules went too far. You know, the ones that banned calling women "objects" or "whores." It's not just the groups targeted calling it out. Even some free speech advocates disagree with Meta. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

One of my favorite examples of testing woo beliefs was letting someone who says they can "feel radio waves" "accidentally" see the WiFi router lights being on or off during part of test. Except that wasn't the actual WiFi, which was on the whole time. They could not tell. (Cant find citation tho)

this is what makes the parasocial aspect of social media so good at building up misinformation-spreading grifters after all, who's more credible than your friend who seems to have done more of the reading than you have? and the youtuber you watch isn't your friend, but you feel like they are

My latest is an attempt to deconstruct the annual Food Price Report out of several Canadian universities. They used AI to predict inflation in several food categories next year. BUT… www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Calgarians who have tried to drive or walk in Marda Loop might know … to maybe, not try to do that lately. But all the work there is part of a city strategy called Main Streets. We throw you for a (Marda) loop on this week’s podcast. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Hey Canadian concert lovers🍁. With the Swiftie descent on Toronto recently, it had us at CBC News wondering: What other concerts have created this much buzz? Let me know if you have any memories of some epic shows through the past decades on Canadian soil. 📷: Evan Mitsui/CBC

This is a devastating piece of journalism, taking us into the lives of folks who have to sleep on couches, live with roaches and take on extra shifts just to be able to have a roof over their head. Perhaps the biggest most underreported crisis in 🇨🇦 therover.ca/barely-survi...

Canada Post and CUPW are playing what I’d say appears - from the outside - to be standard issue brinkmanship in strained negotiations or labour relations. But hard to know what’s what when we don’t see the full offers and counteroffers. (Which admittedly media often don’t!) www.cbc.ca/1.7380827

For reference… he criticizes the FDA for allowing 18 or 19 ingredients in U.S. Froot Loops. And says in Canada we have 2 or 3. They have at least 19 ingredients in Canada. More if you count each mineral/vitamin separately. Who needs facts, anyway? www.wkkellogg.ca/en/products/...

Marveling at how everyone engaging in the anti-wokeness panic seems to think they're some sort of bold, heterodox thinker. Numerous journalists and entire publications are dedicated to this! "Wokeness has gone too far" is one of the most commonly expressed opinions in American journalism!

Since Edm-Cgy passenger rail service ended in 1985, bringing it back in some form has been debated, studied, but never built. With concerns about decarbonization, rail advocacy has taken on new urgency, and raised a Q: should it be left to the private sector? Story ➡️ https://www.cbc.ca/1.6917639

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.
