Great talk. Important topic. Sad to hear of @kattenbarge.bsky.social experience with attacks online. Seems to be a disturbing trend happening to many progressive women journos who speak out. Incredible fortitude to push forward in the face of it.

I was surprised / not surprised to read of our decline in the global happiness index. This small trick would likely bump us back up. Who doesn’t want more happiness?

This undisclosed “plan” is a huge wild card at this point. Beware.

The phone gives us a lot but it takes away three key elements of discovery: loneliness, uncertainty and boredom. Those have always been where creative ideas come from.

I’m guessing the UCP aren’t yet sure how to play it. At least not until the separation petition numbers are in.

They used to visit the tar sands camp where my father worked back in the early 60’s.

Nice innovation. Will likely improve and get cheaper in time. I’ve been using 240V induction now for 10+ years. Higher up front expense but I’m sure it’s now fully paid for itself in energy savings.

Not to mention the amount of fossil fuel energy gone into the manufacture and transport of these weapons ironically and presumably to secure more fossil fuel.

ANALYSIS: Carney promised spending cuts — but not all cuts are equal - National | Globalnews.ca Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne says the government has found ways to cut spending by $60 billion but cautions that published spending cuts require important context.

I guess this is what you would call it. Similar to what I suggested in this thread. That said, your privatization claim may not be entirely wrong. This could be a move in that direction. Time will tell.
See para. 13-14.

It feels like we are so not ready for the predicted disruption ahead. But even articles like this can serve as a heads up.

I’m guessing the number may be a clawback or reneging on said loans. Maybe to force CP into a position of deep cuts and radical restructuring as already recommended by Carney. Privatization has not been proposed contrary to what @nolore.bsky.social states.

Inter-war Germany. Crazy times. Looking forward to this.

Maybe. But CP is not supposed to be funded. As a crown corporation, it’s meant to pay dividends to the gov. It did up until 2017 and then recently received a loan.
