can't believe outlets are running moral-panic headlines again based on flimsy anecdata from the *same* trade group (the national retailer federation) and sponsored by the *same* anti-theft company (sensormatic) that had to retract this *same* "study" just two years ago for being bogus.

When virtually every govt in this country defaults to back-to-work legislation in an environment where, thanks to the legislation by those governments, strikes will become a constant reality, we should stop giving a fuck whether strikes are legal.

So it turns out that trying to follow forum/freeform roleplayers expectations about the in-character/out-of-character boundary makes it impossible to do the hobby that I call “roleplaying”, that is, moving between talking about fiction and mechanics fluidly while portraying a character among them
Fascinated by the way people in over/under feel the need to mark convos as “ooc” that are about self-organizing when the game is a role playing game about self-organizing

Tremendous and extraordinarily worrisome investigation.
The Canadian government passed legislation allowing CSIS to more easily share intelligence with private companies after it was pressed by pipeline builder TC Energy to set up regular “information-sharing” meetings with industry, CSIS and RCMP.

to put half a billion per year for four years in context, in one year, alberta's total revenue is around 75 billion dollars; its expenditures are around 79 billion dollars.
Alberta Finance Minister Nate Horner says the ATA's latest proposal to employers included class-size caps and would cost $2 billion more than the province is willing to spend over 4 years. He asked teachers for an offer more "rooted in reality." #AbLeg #AbEd

Such a weird rhetoric that Edmonton is "falling behind", and that significant change in council is how we catch back up
We have made so many moves in the past 4 years to reduce our infrastructure debt, get transit to new area, modernize zoning and development
Like I don't get the mindset here

As the president of a national charity that works very, very hard to remain compliant with CRA rules, this kind of thing is enraging. It corrodes faith that Canadians have in the charitable system, that charitable numbers are given to organizations that are abiding by their charitable objects.
I would still like the Canada Revenue Agency to explain why donations to pay Tamara Lich's legal fees are tax deductible.

I still can’t believe these construction workers, when asked if they were building the bike lanes, told a mom and two kids (who super excited to see them built) that bike lanes are too expensive and the city shouldn’t be building them.🤨
They are literally selling out their livelihood! 🤦♂️
