The 2025 Federal Budget falls short of the action Canadians deserve. @elizabethemay.bsky.social, Leader of the Green Party of Canada, and @morricemike.bsky.social, former Green MP for Kitchener Centre, explain why Greens can’t support a budget that doesn’t measure up.

We now know who the PM expects to make the sacrifices he spoke of: everyday folks in communities like ours.
Instead of a tax increase on the ultra-wealthy or scaling back some of the billions in subsidies to foreign big oil companies, this government plans to cut $56 billion in services we rely on.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Air Canada strike:
“We’re going to stay committed to making sure that those workers can do the job that they love doing and actually be able to afford a roof over their heads, to afford caring for their families,” CUPE president just said.
“If it means folks like me going to jail, then so be it.”

A friend of mine often says “Everyone becomes disabled at some point in their life, it’s just when it happens varies.” Take some time this month to learn about disabled rights and accessibility!

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.
But if a few people in masks start lighting stuff on fire? Then you have news. This creates an *enormous* attentional advantage towards the most violent and chaotic kind of protest.

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.
