Liberals and Conservatives have let corporate grocers rip off Canadians for far too long.
Billions in profits for the Big 3 Grocers, while working-class people wonder how they’ll afford their next meal.
No more waiting for the market to fix itself. Canada needs a public option for grocery stores.

It's doomsaying season again.
Every few months there are rumors that Xbox will exit the hardware market, but this announcement was 3 months ago and I (my opinion) do expect them to continue releasing dedicated gaming hardware.
It just won't be the closed ecosystem boxes like we've seen before.

Just tried watching Ezra Klein’s latest NYT podcast episode on how the U.S. got to this point where vaccines are so politicized.
It’s pretty clear that Klein and his guests—David Wallace Wells and Rachael Bedard—really do not understand why/how the political right turned on vaccines.

I've been replaying CrossCode (2018) and I think it's become one of my favorite games of all time. It's an SNES-style action-RPG inspired by Zelda and Secret of Mana set within a fictional MMORPG. Strong combat, good jokes, devious puzzles. If you haven't played it, you should

Carney said he’d stand up to Trump—instead he’s using the President as an excuse for a rapid-fire right-wing agenda.
He’s unleashed a pro-corporate, Trump-friendly blitz, embracing Big Oil and militarism, social cuts, and crackdowns on refugees.
