CBC’s latest analysis asks a big question: Poilievre still owns his base, but can he win Canadians outside it? More negatives than positives. No real pivot. Has his moment passed? Without CBC’s clear, data-driven reporting, we’d be flying blind. Save the CBC.

AI chatbots are infiltrating social-science surveys — and getting better at avoiding detection
A researcher has created a chatbot that is indistinguishable from human participants in online surveys. Some researchers fear that a workhorse of social science is now under threat.

Albertan separatists are even funnier when you realize they are complaining that Canada is too difficult to live in. Canada is too difficult. Canada. If you can’t make it in Canada, I’ve got bad news for you, the US isn’t for you either.

Look for Canadian coding on the package.
Made in Canada
Prepared in Canada, and
Product of Canada
It's okay if it uses imported ingredients. We don't grow vanilla for instance.

Except for 4 years abroad, I’ve lived in Alberta for nearly six decades. I grew up in rural Alberta. I worked in the oil industry.
We have the highest wages and lowest taxes.
I’m STILL waiting for someone to present a legitimate argument for why we’ve been treated poorly by the feds.

They already have access to the Canadian market with dairy; tariffs only kick in if they go beyond a certain point. They've never even come close to that magic number.

Journos and pundits should give us some credit. Surely by now most of us understand that a narcissist like Trump, or his lackey, will quickly lie to get ahead of a truth he doesn't like.
