“Last year’s investigation found that over 80 major grocery stores across Canada had been weighing meat with packaging, increasing the price by an estimated 4% to 11% — an illegal practice that has reportedly been going on at major grocery store chains for years.”
Banning algorithmic pricing ought to be a no-brainer call for any government: people don’t like to be ripped off, surveilled, or treated differently from their peers.
Algorithm pricing does all three of those things.
"We are being asked to accept permanent environmental damage, long‑term public liability and water risks that can't be engineered away, all to support an industry in structural decline that contributes little in royalties and is largely owned by foreign investors."You tell 'em,@corblund.bsky.social.

I think AI is absolute slop but if people keep putting out videos made by AI, it should be regulated & labelled #Canada
The government should require that content generated by artificial intelligence be clearly labelled, a House of Commons committee said in a new report.

The Weather Network & MétéoMédia has been named the #5 most reputable brand in Canada in Leger’s 2026 Reputation Study — and is the only Canadian media brand in the top 10.
At a time when 91% of Canadians are concerned about misinformation, reliability matters more than ever.
"There's one thing that's worse than being uneducated and it's being badly educated. And Mr. Carney is very badly educated on economics." -- Pierre Poilievre says, as water dribbles down his chin
Poilievre stating today that (PhD in economics from Oxford holding) PM Carney is “badly educated in economics” totally gives off the same vibe as the mediocre white dude who claimed he could return a Venus William’s tennis serve.
My latest newsletter: the energy transition is kicking into an even higher gear, and it will eventually leave Canada's oil and gas industry in the dust.
When will its op-ed writers and political proxies wake up to the threat they're facing? #cdnpoli

There are many things I’m very proud of as a Canadian. MANY things. But every time I watch another media story about another ambitious push in renewable energy from China, I’m embarrassed that Canada isn’t aggressively working to quickly become a true global powerhouse in renewable energy.
Is America's first car-free city a walkable utopia or a government-controlled prison? Grace visits Culdesac, AZ, to find out
We have a golden opportunity right now to gradually get off oil.
If there was ever a reason to, it's now. Look. They're driving everyone to the poor house. (no pun).
We have the alternatives. We just need the will.
Demand the change we need.

It’s a BIG DEAL that Vancouver Council has voted unanimously to immediately divert all capital budget money prioritizing cars, to emergency construction of much better walking, biking & public transit infrastructure, reflecting our 1997 city policy.

Canadian Tariffs on dairy only kick in if dairy imports from the US exceed a specified quota, otherwise zero tariffs. We do not buy enough American dairy to bring them into tariff zones.

I've been a wildlife biologist for more than 4 decades and I can't tell the difference between tundra and trumpeter swans (with confidence) on the wing. We brought back trumpeter swans from the brink: this could put all that work at risk.

Well, at least this shouldn't trigger more tariffs.
Toronto shopping street
Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car.
In fact, it was 4%.
And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%.

Tweet from Pierre Poilievre, who is now the MP for Battle River-Crowfoot in Alberta after he lost his seat in Carleton (ON) after representing the riding for 20 years: “Mark Carney is trying to seize a costly Liberal majority government that Canadians voted against in the last election through dirty backroom deals. Matt Jeneroux has betrayed the people of Edmonton Riverbend who voted for affordable food and homes, safe streets, and a strong resource sector. Conservatives will continue our fight for a Canada that's affordable, safe, and self-reliant.” Response from Rick Perkins, former CPC MP who lost his seat in 2025: “I am sure he consulted his constituents in Edmonton widely from his home in Victoria. Formally I think MPs should at least live in the province if not the community they represent.” 🤣
Banger of a response from a former CPC MP to Pierre Poilievre who had to run in AB after losing his seat in Carleton, ON, a riding he represented for 20 years.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

Stephen Harper says the US is a "hostile" regime and Canada must urgently reduce its economic ties and hit back with counter tariffs.
He says business leaders are fooling themselves if they think things will go back to normal.
When I find myself in the same trench as Stephen Harper it's serious.
