Here's a neat trick they teach in authoritarianism school: If you purge the people who measure the effects of your policies (BLS, MMWR), you can just claim everything's great, and nobody can prove how much damage you're doing.
BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.
Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.
This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

Hospitals would lose money and so would police and schools if we looked a profit & loss, privatized and replaced them with US multinational delivery services.
In the age of “Nation Building” why is an oil pipeline worth subsidizing, but not the service that delivers our election ballots? #cdnpoli

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.
"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Diagram of all current indefinite Temporary Speed Restrictions in effect on Line 1. This info has not been public but I finally got an MFIPPA released recently so I can share this. All TSRs except the ones at the ends are at the request of Alstom, and have been in place since the LRT inquiry in 2022

I'll be on CTV tomorrow morning responding to Premier Ford's suggestion that the province get rid of photo radar speed cameras from school zones. They've been proven to work, and they fund important and permanent road safety projects that wouldn't be otherwise built.

The Ontario facility, which bottles Crown Royal products, closes in Feb in a move to improve its North American supply chain.

When Canada is being attacked, you don’t move your plant to the US and leave a whole Canadian town unemployed.

Or for that matter, the leadership of Air Canada, who stranded tens of thousands of passengers for while trying to cling to unjust employment practices.
For those saying “union leaders should have been thrown in jail” for defying order that Air Canada flight attendants return to work,
Curious as to what punishment should be ordered against @amazon executives who fired 4500 workers in Quebec to punish them for unionizing.
Jail?
