global affairs canada suddenly stumbling over itself to ask "in mean, like, are borders even real? they're just lines on a map"

Late last month, a Global Affairs spokesperson suggested to the CBC that it was up to Israel to decide whether to fly through Canadian airspace, adding that “Global Affairs Canada does not comment on which route a foreign state chooses to take.”

This is nonsense. It is up to Canada, and Canada alone, to decide who enters our territory.

which FIPA's ED said raises concerns about that police force's transparency practices

Wilson has since gone on to become the chief of the Victoria Police Department, and Woywada said that raises additional concerns given her promotion to leadership.

“If the leadership doesn't make information management a priority, the organization won't,” he said. “So it is concerning.”

VicPD spokesperson Tiffany Parton said Wilson is “not in a position to respond to questions regarding the administration or processing of a freedom-of-information request made to another police agency.”

so, since buying Shaw, Rogers has been sabotaging Corus www.bloomberg.com/news/article... Global laid off 55 people in 2024, and 45 more people in 2025. now, it's shutting down CityNews stations. they're giving Postmedia a run for their money when it comes to gutting Canadian media

“Rogers is attempting to imperil Corus in every market: content acquisition as buyer, and advertising and subscriptions as seller,” the Toronto-based company said in its complaint. “It is engaging in predatory behavior, enabled by dominant size and scale, to foreclose on potential competition.”

Taleeb Noormohamed telling the Tyee AI creates a "pyramid of opportunity" feels like a marketing spin on pyramid schemes

the tyee

So it becomes this really interesting synergy taking the talent that you have and optimizing them to be able to use their talent while they build companies here. It becomes this very interesting pyramid of opportunity, where by ensuring that businesses can access capital and talent, Canadians can then build world-class businesses that create more jobs here, and then create spinoffs, and create more businesses from those spinoffs. That’s how you start to really cultivate the ecosystem.

it's a literally criminal interest rate. you wouldn't say someone was charged with "theft," why are they doing that for a criminal interest rate?

headline: B.C. judge slashes lawyer's $425,000 bill for settling grandmother's will

dek (with highlighted text between asterisks): Lawyer also *charged clients a "criminal" rate of interest* of three per cent a month for outstanding balances, according to B.C. Supreme Court judgment

I'd like to think someone in the government is just subtweeting David Eby here

"These interests may be resolved through negotiation, challenged in subsequent litigation, purchased, or remain on the Cowichan Title Lands. That is not a matter for this Court to address... It is an issue for the Crown and not the private landowners to resolve."

In plain language: the court expressly did not order the removal of any private property owner. The Cowichan Nation's own public statement in October 2025 said the Nation "does not seek recovery of the private fee simple lands." And on February 14, 2026, the BC government and the Cowichan Nation issued a joint statement:

"Neither the Cowichan Nation nor British Columbia are seeking to invalidate any privately held fee simple titles on the Cowichan Title Lands through the negotiation or appeal processes."

notice where income and housing costs become completely untethered from one another

a graph showing read disposable income and housing costs in the US and Canada between 1980 and 2020. in the US, housing prices is mostly increasing at a slower rate than disposable income, save the 2000s, where it rapidly increases before crashing in 2008. in Canada, it's in the early 2000s, shortly after Karen's graph shows social housing builds falling off a cliff, that housing skyrockets whole disposable income continues a fairly linear trajectory

the graph also shows spikes in the early 1980s, after a significant dip in social housing builds in the late 1970s, and again in the early 1990s, after another significant dip in social housing builds in the late 1980s

this package was in Richmond yesterday, on a warm, sunny day, but UPS removed the location and replaced it with some vague warning about "significant weather events across the globe" and I wish they would just say it fell off the back of their truck like a normal person

Latest Update The delivery date will be provided as soon as possible.

Significant weather events across the globe are impacting the UPS network. Although your location may not be impacted by adverse weather, the movement of packages in the network may be impacted by weather conditions in other areas.

"truly abhorrent how the left is trying to subvert the courts" says man who clerked for the the embodiment of judicial corruption

"It is alarming to see how far the Left has gone in its blatant effort to capture the judiciary. Its feeding of trial lawyers’ climate 'science' to sitting judges who will decide contentious litigation in this area short-circuits our system of justice," said Carrie Severino, a former law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and president of the Judicial Crisis Network.

"When they can’t pass their extreme policies into law, they are attempting to use the courts as an end run around the legislative process," said Severino, whose organization has helped vet judicial nominees, including Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
