Senator Kim Pate @kpateonthehill.bsky.social · Jun 19

my life is that I record a podcast episode all about tariffs and leave the booth just to find out there are more tariffs

Beginning November 1st, 2025, all Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks coming into the United States from other Countries will be Tariffed at the Rate of 25%. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

If we don't see new investments (like in the upcoming federal budget) in Women and Gender Equality Canada, the department will see an 80% budget reduction by 2027-2028.

Cuts will jeopardize 🇨🇦's progress towards gender equality & 🏳️‍🌈 rights.

The latest inflation data for car & home insurance, by province.

Alberta absolutely in a league of its own here.

Two line charts showing Alberta well ahead of every other province in terms of price inflation for auto insurance premiums (which have more than tripled since 2002) and home insurance premiums (which have increased more than sixfold).

Hockey Canada trial is a reminder that this country still has a long way to go and that the April elections were just maintaining the status quo

Saying this not as a jurist, but as a survivor (of stalking) who has been failed by the judicial system:

Whenever the legal system fails to listen to survivors, a miscarriage of justice occurs.

This is exactly what happened in the Hockey Canada trial.

I believe E.M., and so should you.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide

I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.
