Doug Ford’s Bill 5 hands sweeping power to override local govts, workers’ rights & environmental protections.
It’s MAGA-style politics—and CBC is one of the few institutions exposing it.

Please stop calling it Kitchener stitch. He didn't invent it and the man was a monster. Like, invented the concentration camp kind of monster (Boer War). The technique existed before him and it had a perfectly good name before: grafting.

We are saving as much public data as we can. The other thing you can do is speak out. Tell everyone you know about what is happening (here, IRL, everywhere). We need people to know the consequences of these actions.
Ohhh look! People care about our work! Come find out how to help.
Petabytes of critical government research that is marked for possible deletion cannot be archived because of technical and legal restrictions, meaning it is very likely to be lost forever:
