5·2 days agoBC has improved their individual/doctor patient times, but the 6 Healthcare authorities leaves a lot to be desired in the context of efficiency.
I believe this is the paper that being referenced. Not sure since the article does not link or directly attribute the references beyond the author’s name.

Just to be straightforward with this quote you’d would be much better served as a human being to not fully believe any politician. But if we’re looking beyond just the rates and include the volume traded with America and the ambiguous nature of whatever “best deal” means than this isn’t really isn’t much to pick at.
“It’s quite wrong to conclude that Canada has the ‘best deal’ on trade with the U.S.,”
I’m also going to end with the Globe and Mail isn’t the neutral observer they portray themselves being.
Just to elaborate on 2 things. Even by language this is 100% clearly not tied to affordability but some trickle down nature of it.
Carney said he will direct $500 million from the government’s Strategic Response Fund to help food suppliers “expand capacity and increase productivity.”
It means food businesses looking to make capital investments to help strengthen their supply chains can apply to have some of those costs covered by the fund.
And to provide context for the 20m. It’s about $3921 per food bank.
Food Banks Canada is a national charitable organization representing the food bank community across Canada, supporting a network of 10 Provincial Associations and over 5,100 hunger relief organizations in Canada.

I just want to point out when someone says both sides is the same they’re likely a massive moron.
But when someone says both parties(Liberals & Conservatives) are the same, this stuff gives them a lot of credence. And yes Liberals is clearly more socially progressive or at least not regressive but it really doesn’t hold up when they do stuff like this.
Since it actually happens a fair bit. I’ll confirm that there is in fact a list in the article and it’s rather comprehensive with references.
And yes it’s a lot of Post Media.
Did anyone else read the article and find essentially zero mention of how union gains were made in Alberta. It essentially recaps how Smith got away with using the Notwithstanding clause then the pro’s of unions.
The only mention is pretty much a slightly reworded version of the title.
Despite these obstacles, organized labour continues to make important gains in Alberta, Canada’s most anti-union province. Our new report draws on Statistics Canada data to examine the economic impact of unionization in Alberta.
I was thinking he’d have at least a quiet week or two after the EU mostly called his bluff.
Our deal with China was barely dipping our toes in the water. If Trump doesn’t get anything substantial from Carney he’ll probably lose significant ability to try anymore power plays on larger countries for the rest of his term unless he actually starts invading more countries.
Domestically he’s starting to see some real pressure so he is desperate for a win.
Avi stated that Proportional Voting reform is his highest priority. Which is by far the most compelling thing I heard from him.
People should understand by now that Trump is some special flavour of insane, but if he kicked the bucket tomorrow the entire mechanism that gives him power will still exist.
If anything they might be less erratic and get their agenda pushed through quicker.
There’s been a lot of noise the last few years about there being big demand for these EV’s so we’ll see how true this is. I do have a inclination they’ll do rather well even with the economy and low gas prices.
Canada will allow up to 49,000 Chinese
In case people want to know want to know what the numbers means. There was 202k battery EV’s registered in 2024 and 82k through 3 reported quarters in 2025.
Imagine this just gets the ball rolling and there will be a more substantial deal before we hit that number. As of now I don’t like the lack of progress security(this extends outside of EV’s or ones from China) and how we didn’t leverage this into any manufacturing deals.
StatCan Source (first time I’ve seen them use PoweBI):
This is what CBC should be doing. They should really invest more in small local communities that is very underserved these days.
Even for international level news people would benefit from a vantage of how it impacts them on a local level.
This is another example what I posted last week. It’s a nameless source from a official government department making a very serious but ambigous complaint with little context.
Aside from pandering to the crowd that’s looking for reasons to feel more angry I’m not sure what the article is trying to convey with that part.
I read the responses and they were pretty generic to begin with. It was also about 14hrs after the AMA started and he answered only a handful of them.
I imagine with a competence and morality perspective this should knock him out of contention.
Not sure if it’s mentioned in the since the article is paid wall but I think skeezy tech bro is a real understatement for the people that run the company.
They’re not a the extreme overt level of far right, white nationism like Elon but they’re part of funding and lobbying for much of that stuff.
He’s a piece of shit.
But also to signal that he’s on a specific side. People would call these dog whistles but I think it’s bit to overt for that.
I can’t believe we pay for people to post this stuff.
Postmedia Tells Shareholders $35 Million in Federal Government Handouts is Now a ‘Key Pillar’ of Its Business Strategy
I would file this under socialized things Liberals slowly ruined and Conservatives threaten to destroy the second they get in power.
I’m 6’2" and things were already tight for me as well.
The problem with thier shuffling method is it compounds the already bad flight delays(there’s also the carry-on shuffle they caused) and most of their seats won’t even fit me so at a certain point you might just get bumped off the entire flight and they don’t even give you a real number to make decisions with. I actually don’t even know which seat fits me because aside from padding the seat angle also changes the real leg room so the pitch measurement is almost useless.
He could be depending what happens in the next few days with Pierre.
