CBC investigation finds grocers Loblaw, Sobeys overcharging for underweight meat — again | CBC News A CBC News secret shopping investigation has — once again — uncovered how several Loblaw-owned and Sobeys-affiliated stores are overcharging for underweight meat, despite claims last year that the gro...

The profits from fraudulent prices are ongoing and huge, the government provides little oversight or testing for consumer protection, and the fines are a joke. No wonder big grocers carry on ripping us off.

Claims and ideas which happen to favour the ruling class don't dominate public life by accident. They're paid for by oligarchs and corporations then promoted by media outlets other oligarchs and corporations own. Once they've been drummed into our ears enough, they're internalised as "common sense".

They must do something though. The damage Oligarch media owners will do to society will be devastating. Not only will children be victimized. Oligarchs goals are to ensure just enough children, teens and adults will be radicalized, brainwashed, and turned into Brownshirt voters.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

“Trump will seek to exploit [his Iran] war (or the next one) to alter the elections. We bear responsibility for what comes next… Citizens who organize, protest and vote: If we know the coup scripts in advance, we know when to take the stage — and where to take the rage.” @timothysnyder.bsky.social

The Would-Be Alberta Gerrymander This is very gross from Danielle Smith and the UCP.

“Its hard to describe how utterly evil a choice it would be to put these seats in, not simply because of the partisan advantage it gives themselves, but also how much it carves up municipalities in the province”

Among the Separatists | The Tyee I wanted to learn the true target of their angry dreams. What I heard made me tremble for the Alberta I love.

When churches host/support this kind of deranged political crap, it's time to end their tax-free status. Similarly, end taxpayer support of separate schools, private schools, and religious charter schools. They are hothouses of hate and division. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Garcia: Blanche just said that the Epstein investigation is basically in the past, that he’s not going to address it moving forward, and that all the documents were released. I mean, that’s just a bold-faced lie.

Justin Ling: Danielle Smith says she wants unity but can’t seem to stop stoking division The Alberta premier did little to contradict some outlandish claims.

“she’s doing the opposite. She’s making ample time for groups and movements dead set on eroding trust and dismantling whatever shared sense of truth we have left.”

A sad thread about what happens when we pander to the bigots and perpetual whiners and "victims" in our midst who think life would be so much better alone. Alberta separatists should read this, but of course they won't. For other Albertans, a cautionary tale... #cdnpoli #abpoli

Separatist movement in Canada’s Alberta province finds allies in Trump’s circle An association is collecting signatures for an independence referendum in the country’s conservative stronghold

“Secret meetings with representatives of the U.S. State Department, the open support of figures from the MAGA movement, and the possibility of a referendum this fall… paint a picture in which many see the shadow of foreign interference.”

In case you were wondering why Tesla self-driving is so dangerous, this is a senior member of the team developing it.

He claims he has no idea how to handle approaching a road that's completely obfuscated by smoke.

Hint: the answer is to slow down and proceed with caution, which this Tesla didn't.
