The audacity to scoff at this question when a journalist on the hill just affirmed they were given access to this MORE THAN 200 PAGE bill less than 30 MINUTES before this press conference.
How the fuck do you ask informed questions under those conditions? Spoiler: you can't.

people on both sides of the border should stop romanticizing Canada
On Wed Sept 16, Montréal hosted "All In," claiming to be the largest AI and tech event in Canada.
I am infuriated that again, @spvmpolice.bsky.social beat and teargassed counterprotesters bad enough many were injured, incl a press photographer who went to hospital.

Privatization wasn’t on the ballot when Canadians voted for Mark Carney.
Really foul the way he’s using the blind trust so many continue to have in him to make massive, fundamental changes to Canada (hurting normal Canadians) so big companies can profit.
Please pay attention.

Here is what the Israeli-occupied West Bank, not including a detailed look at occupied East Jerusalem, actually looks like in 2026.
The International Court of Justice ruled in July 2024 that Israel’s nearly 60-year military occupation of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza was illegal.

Data Centres ---> New Hydroelectric Dams
They said it was to ensure water security in the Red Deer River Basin, but my first thought when I heard the Alberta government was examining a river dam at Ardley was that this is for data centres.
There’s a public meeting about a proposed data centre at Haynes- just above the river- on Sep 30.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling.
They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
