Somehow there's always money for war machines.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Montreal this morning to unveil Canada's new defence industrial strategy. The plan is nothing short of standing up a massive new dual use industrial base, independent of the U.S.

Today's Frontburner guest was like "there will be massive upheavals from AI" in one breath and then "it won't be as revolutionary as the AI companies want you to believe" the next.
Bro, just because we might not lose our jobs today doesn't mean we are not worried about losing our jobs tomorrow.

antifascism has great potential to give you Liberal Socialism but you must first decide to believe that both liberals and socialists are all sincerely antifascist.
these people seemingly cannot comprehend any political claim except as some kind of stratagem against the left. the idea that "Trump is a fascist who will kill us all" is something we sincerely mean, rather than a tactic to bully them into accepting a dreaded moderate, is incomprehensible

Look, I get it. You don't want to pay your staff time and a half or whatever. You need that money to pay rent to your commercial landlord...who needs that money to fund the propaganda demonizing government workers.
The Venn diagram of downtown business people who whine about federal public servants working remotely...and those who stay closed on Family Day, even though federal public servants don't get this day off... well, it's a perfect circle.

I also had to get lunch at Subway like some braindead pedo-apologist.
This post brought to by the five (5) coffee places - FIVE! (5!) - I tried before giving up and going to fucking Starbucks like some asshole genocide-apologist.

I can tell you why, at least at CTV. I used to chase produce for Newschannel when Power Play was off air.

You'd show up for work, making (in my case) less than 50K a year, and you'd have like, two hours at a time to find someone to speak about XYZ, on national TV, with next to no notice.

this is absolutely despicable racism. Palestinians are a people, not a death cult. their children have been brutally tortured and murdered *by Israel*, in the recent genocide, but also for years before that.

American culture sucks actually.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Very good explanation. It's not cheating when you just kinda violate a rule. Plus in this case, what benefit could be gained from grazing the granite with a finger? None.

It's very telling that this is the thing he thinks people will be excited about. I think he's wrong.

(I would get excited about the UN moving here from NYC or any of the big international NGOs presently headquartered in DC. That would make Ottawa a fantastic global city.)

Alberta is the US of Canada. Northeastern BC is the Alberta of British Columbia. And that's all I'm going to say about that.
