It’s just sad that, at a time when Canadians are open to cooperation and have come together to stand up to the US through grassroots boycotts, when national unity is more important than ever, the Liberals chose to play chicken with the budget rather than even try to reach out to the other parties.

Carney government shows no sign of compromise in budget that will test opposition parties

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s minority government is all but daring the opposition to vote down its first budget, promising Tuesday’s spending plan — billed as a mixture of "austerity" and

If US ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra keeps behaving as he has, the Canadian government will surely have to call him in for a formal rebuke. And if we don't, it will be a choice of discretion over valour, a sign that we have been cowed.

Our Hoekstra Response Should be a Lesson in Diplomacy - Policy Magazine

Restraint is central to the art of diplomacy. Diplomats are supposed to manage disputes, not inflame them by trading personal insults or creating a public

Shady actions like this, to keep the public in the dark is why NEJM & CIDRAP are launching weekly public health alerts, free for the public.

That’s the end of the courageous political takes from Teen Vogue. It has been such a beacon for many so this is fairly tragic. Looks like they fired ALL the political staffers and removed the politics beat.

Who leaned on Condé Nast? Or what happened?

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

The whole logging industry is a race to the bottom. Meanwhile the multinational logging co's just export raw logs—instead of BC adding value before export—because we're still a primitive colonial resource economy. Meanwhile companies still fight to cut our last remnants of rare biodiverse old growth

BC has been subsidizing a largely US lumber industry for decades via low stumpage rates (royalties) & more, yet the companies keep closing mills because they've cut virtually all the old growth, & also their plantations in the US grow faster than the firetrap monocultures they replanted here #bcpoli
