you should, genuinely, text resist to 55255, but the stern criticism in this episode is very correct. alberta labour seems to have been very unprepared for something that was obviously coming for years

To get buy-in from all 10 provinces (which it didn't), Canada's constitution has a clause allowing provinces to override its fundamental rights and freedoms. The framers -- I've spoken to some -- imagined it used in existential-crisis cases. Well, a province just used it to break a teachers' strike

Mark Carney wants economic growth at any cost. To achieve it, he’s going after tech investment and pushing hard for AI adoption.

In the process, AI regulations are being thrown on the bonfire and tech harms are an afterthought. It’s a recipe for disaster.
Mark Carney is going “elbows down” against Big Tech
Canada’s AI agenda ignores potential harms in the hope of short-term economic gain

Canada’s new respirator standard (CSA Z94.4-25) is a major step forward in protecting healthcare workers — but it’s facing opposition.

WHN strongly supports this science-based policy and urges others to submit a public comment before the August 19 deadline.
Header (large white bold text): "Canada’s new respirator standard could save lives — but it’s under threat." Subtext (white): "CSA Z94.4-25 establishes that all healthcare workers must wear respirators (minimum PL1) in healthcare facilities and during delivery of care, except in designated low-risk zones determined by qualified airborne transmission risk assessment." Footer question (bright pink bold): "So why is there a petition trying to block it?" Logo: whn.global Main body (white text): "The World Health Network is committed to supporting public understanding and institutional adoption of CSA Z94.4-25. We invite other organizations, health professionals, and workers to join us in endorsing this standard as a vital tool for workplace safety and public health." Final paragraph (white and pink): "Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is accepting public comments on the draft Z94.4-25 standard through August 19, 2025. See caption for WHN’s full statement and how to take action." Footer link (white text): whn.global/whn-response-to-canadas-csa-z94-4-25-respirator-standard/ Logo: whn.global
