From what I recall hearing about the job from the one CN conductor I knew, it sounded like what they really need is some work life balance provisions. The on call requirements that guy put up with were nuts.

Doug Ford recently sent the Ontario legislature on a five month recess which has some people wondering, um, what’s up with that?

Any harm Elon Musk suffers is justified.

Possibly they are looking to buy a printer and don’t yet have it.

…What a silly lawsuit. Or I should say lawfare, obviously the lawyers involved knew this was not going to fly and that this is financial terrorism.

That’s correct. Or at least I got the article from the NFLD section of the site.

Cameco, one of two companies responsible for producing all of Canada’s uranium, is registered to lobby the government on a number of subject matters related to its operations. Party financial statements show Cameco gave $1,789 to the Saskatchewan Party in 2025, and more than $7,000 to the NDP. In previous years, Cameco has tended to put more money into the Saskatchewan Party, including giving $5,385 in 2023 and $7,360 in 2020, while giving only a few hundred dollars to the NDP each year.

I wonder how much that has to do with Carla Beck’s chilly response to Avi Lewis’ leadership win?

In May, the IJF reported that Clearpoint Health Network donated $5,000 to the Saskatchewan Party while lobbying “to provide surgical services to allow individuals access to publicly funded surgeries that complement the public health-care system.”

Similarly, Bayshore Healthcare donated $3,250 to the Saskatchewan Party last year. Lobbying records show the company has been meeting with provincial health officials to “discuss new and innovative models of homecare.”

Innovative and modernizing are two weasel words we should be looking out for over the next few years.

It’s not bad, it’s good. I would say, maybe we should stop doing business with the state responsible for the ongoing crisis, if only to maybe save ourselves from having to commit another $100M down the line.

That’s what a CN train looks like in person so I don’t have any reason to assume it’s not.

Iran dunking on the US has been pretty constant.

Giving a pretty harsh lesson in most expensive not necessarily equating to most effective.

$3.2B over ten years, or $320 million per year. For reference, the recent AI for All plan promised $2.195B in AI investment.

Well, when he won he didn’t actually win a majority so he had to hold back somewhat. Since then, he’s managed to entice enough mostly conservative MPs to his side of the aisle somehow (certainly not bribery, that would be illegal, surely they just love his reportedly shouty personality) to give him the majority. And he’s taken off the mask since then.

So, yeah. Carney isn’t “being pragmatic”. He’s a blinkered ideologue who lied his way into power and now is just doing the CPC platform. Can we get some more Guilbeaults? This guy shouldn’t have a majority.

This guy has been petitioning (read: bribing) the Trump administration to stop this. I imagine Trump is demanding a bigger bribe to let it go through. Personally I’d rather see the thing dynamited than do that, but I’m not expecting much. Exaggeration maybe but we could at least wait and see if the next administration is less corrupt.

Isn’t alcohol use on the decline? Who was asking for this? Maybe this guy.

There are exactly two things the current government is doing that I like and HSR is one of them.

“The real problem with transit is not that Quebecers can’t efficiently commute to Toronto, but that they’re unable to effectively commute within their own city,”

Okay, dude, so…Fund it? Are they tearing apart city buses to build the rail? What is the contradiction here? In fact, intercity HSR and robust intracity public transit are two great flavours that go great together.

The message is up on behalf of Cory Morgan and a third-party advertising organization, Pathway to Independence.

I wondered who Cory Morgan was, so I looked him up and lo and behold:

It’s an advertising campaign.

It’s always a scam with these guys, huh?

Off with their heads. Metaphorically.

A lot of these separatists are yank wannabes. I suspect if someone were to map pro-separation sentiment to Trump approval in Alberta over time they would find a strong correlation. Well, Trump hasn’t had a great few months since early 2026 when the last poll was done. As goes his popularity, so goes the popularity of separatism.

It seems like the idea is to build a movement that expands beyond protecting tenant’s rights and into political advocacy, including running aligned candidates.
