Sample topics include:
• calculating the taxes on a $28.9M purchase
• calculating the taxes on a $28.9M sale
• the cost of driving to an open emergency department
• the cost of university without OSAP
• mortgage payments on a $500,000 home with a driveway and finished basement

“SCC” are somatic cells (white blood cells) that likely indicate infection if they’re over Canada’s allowable limit (which I believe is 200,000, not the 400,000 on this graphic). The US is 750,000 - that’s just gross. And that’s not even taking growth hormones into account. They’re permitted in US

The death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. Amnesty opposes the death penalty in all cases without exception. Here’s why.

It’s a human rights violation…

Texas: Please don't execute James Broadnax for murders he didn't commit! The state of Texas plans to execute James Broadnax on April 30, 2026 for a double murder that he did not commit. The actual shooter, James's cousin, Demarius Cummings, was sentenced to life without pa...

American friends, please do your thing and fix this. The death penalty is not something that any civilized society should use, and this man is not guilty.

Why does learning drop when tech enters the classroom? Because computers train kids to skim. Dr. Horvath warns that we are currently redefining education to fit our tools rather than designing tools to fit how our children actually learn.

If you’re going to name a bill "Putting Student Achievement First," you should probably mention students more than five times. Instead, "liability" shows up 43 times. It’s pretty clear where the priority lies, and it isn’t in the classroom.

Doug Ford looks sad that he has to give back his shiny new jet just because people in Ontario don't have emergency rooms, family doctors, properly-funded public education, affordable housing, or enough food on the table to feed their kids. His blue baseball cap has a Canadian flag on the side and the words, "Stop Being Mean To Me" in white on letters on the front.

Doug Ford's new line of merch is a bit of a departure from his Captain Canada shtick.

It's a Hard Time To Be Human It's a hard time to be human. But that doesn't mean our good work has no value. Parker and Ellen Bass on the beautiful paradox of our smallness and our consequence in the world.

It’s a hard time to be human, but the world has need of you….

Ban Predatory Pricing AI-driven price gouging has no place in Ontario

Surveillance pricing needs to be outlawed. Grifters (a.k.a. the conservative government) are not in charge - the people are.

How the American oligarchy went hyperscale The AI boom is fueling a literal and metaphorical power grab by tech billionaires—and forcing a reckoning.

The explosive growth of AI data centers have transformed opaque structures of inequality and power into literal ones.

Oligarchy is now more than an idea, it is a place—and the people who live there are fighting back.

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

Canada’s boycott wasn’t organized. It was organic.

Reasons from friends, family, neighbours and Bluesky suggest it’s because Canada has a high literacy rate and over 60% of us have a college/university education; we listen, we read and quietly make up our minds. One Canadian at time.

We just turned in the copy-edited and fact checked draft. Feels good!

Selfishly, it would be nice for there to be no more apocalyptic end timesy stuff happening from now to the pub date, since we can't update any more. And also, bc I'm sick of living in it as I know all of you are, too.

The WHCD has always been sold as “free press + democracy,” but now it’s power laundering.

Don Lemon’s quote cuts straight through the performance.

You don’t get to attack the press all week and then enjoy their legitimacy as a party guest on Saturday night.

This what integrity looks like. 👇

Two weeks that pushed Trump to the edge. Is his presidency unravelling? The president has opened fissures in his base by starting a war he couldn’t finish with Iran, stoking inflation and offending Christians. Barred from running again, he may feel he has nothing to lose

“We’re supposed to not start any new wars. Prices were supposed to come down. We were promised a lot of things and we’re not getting them.

Just 38% of voters approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president"

History, please remember the name - Rep. Jared Golden (Dem - Maine) was the only Democrat to vote AGAINST this resolution, tipping the scales.

I mean, we all *knew* why they're pushing AI, but it's fun when they just come out and say it.
