Strengthing democracy piece with some exciting ideas. I don't know who the writers are or what tech solutions they offer but imagine whatever level of engagement you have now would actually make a more effective difference in your community, province.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Favourite new #Christmasmovie: Francis Ford Coppola's #TheConversation.

How have I never seen it before?

Riveting neo-noir suspense with layers of psychological depth. And the great #GeneHackman, one of my all time favourite actors.

About Christmas? No. But it's the backdrop so it counts.

But much of that debate misses what the decision actually means and sometimes falls into the realm of fear-mongering and misinformation. For example, it does not mean that private-property owners who were not named in the court case are likely to lose title to their land and homes.

The recent Cowichan Tribes decision – where the Supreme Court of B.C. ruled they had never surrendered their territory and therefore still have Aboriginal title to it – has stirred confusion and fear about the state of private property rights in Canada.
The Cowichan ruling isn’t a threat to private property
It’s a call for governments to face their obligations to Indigenous Peoples, but owners outside the case won’t suddenly lose their deeds.

Two months after President Donald Trump signed an executive order restricting H-1B visas, soaring costs are roiling rural health care facilities that have long struggled to find staff.
Rural America relies on foreign doctors. Trump’s visa fee shuts them out.
The Trump administration’s demand for companies to pay a $100,000 fee to hire an immigrant worker using an H1B visa has created turmoil among rural health providers.

"We can't allow fact checkers into the country" is late-stage USSR shit, real end-of-empire stuff
Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

Maybe it's, I don't know, making $400,000 a year?
