•new orders for Algoma steel to 🇨🇦 navy shipyards East & West Coast
•orders for aluminium (Q1-4% to EU; Q2-57% to EU)

McCain’s used to be a rare sweet treat for us…as did frozen cakes from the Pepperidge farms brand

RevDaniel 🇨🇦 @revdaniel.bsky.social · 10h

The first McCain’s “Deep and Delicious” cake I’ve had since I was a child.

Went to the convenience store for some milk and saw them in the refrigerator and every cell in my body went “Must. Have.”

Not sure how deep it is.
But it’s definitely delicious.

Since the colonial 'Thanksgiving' is coming up, you can 'give thanks' to the Indigenous people by helping the mutual aid requests you see posted, buying crafts and art, helping share posts and of course, help make this a shared feast for many. That is what we do, and did for the new guests of these

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family.

It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support.

Thank you for your consideration.

Important #Petition re 🇨🇦 Health Act and implications of increased privatization of health services by provinces.

#CdnPoli #BCPoli #UniversalHealthcare

Hazel B. | Meme Resister | Forever Canadian @hab3261.bsky.social · 12h

The Canada Health Act sets national standards of universality, accessibility, and public administration, yet enforcement has weakened as privatization expands. #e6818

Good news. Possibility of more #Childcare options in #BC if the amendment tabled Oct 7 passes.

”Using our existing infrastructure and partnering with school districts is a smart, sustainable solution that puts existing resources to their best use for families”

Government of British Columbia @governmentofbc.bsky.social · 12h

New legislation will let schools offer child care for kids of all ages — including infants and toddlers — right on school grounds. That means care during Pro D days, holidays, and summer breaks, with more consistency and convenience for families. News.gov.bc.ca

Please watch Sean Fraser,
Attorney General of Canada.

Conservative’s push to end birthright citizenship (all their MPs also voted against women’s rights) shows we can’t afford to get distracted by 🇺🇸politics.

We’re one bad election away from risking 🇨🇦 democracy.

This year marks 150 years of the Supreme Court of Canada helping to shape this country, standing in ardent defence of Canadian democracy and in defence of our freedoms.
May its work continue so that 150 years from now, Canada remains the true North, strong, and free. #cdnpoli

Tiger sharks (genus Galeocerdo) have distinctive sideways-pointing teeth with deep serrations, so they can bite through bone, turtle shell, armored parts.

The upper & lower jaw are mirrored: they clamp on to a tough object & shake their head, slicing chunks off like a squaliform chainsaw.

A tiger shark jaw set, upper and lower, wide open, revealing teeth and jaw bones. The teeth look to be mis-oriented, facing to both sides.

Periodic reminders:

Vaccines save lives & parents need discussions with trusted professionals, not propaganda.

Transgender children & their families need evidence based support, not stigma.

Autistic children & their families need evidence based support, not conspiracy theories.

“Let me be clear about something, health decisions, individual health decisions for kids, are a protected right of parents to make with their doctor in the best interest of their children, not by governments and not by politicians.”

Let’s be clear about what Alberta is proposing:

BC loses billions of dollars of major projects from private investors.

AND Canadian taxpayers are forced to pay billions more because there is no interest from a private company.

That’s not fair. And fairness is a Canadian value.

Sharing someone’s intimate images without consent is a serious violation. Updates coming to the law mean:
✅ a substantial increase to the monetary damages victims can receive
✅ better privacy protections
✅ faster image removal
