    BC Port Strike

    You can’t win the competition for global trade when you come in last – or in this case, second last. Canada, a country that relies on moving goods in and out of the country for more than two-thirds of its GDP, has just seen its largest port ranked to second-to-last in the recently released...

    CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) & Bill C-18

    The new Heritage Minister, Pascale St-Onge, says she will stand her ground against the tech giants, as Facebook prepares to push the button on its plan to block Canadians’ access to news in response to the Online News Act.

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    My emotions were stirred in reading about the extremely sad death of Richard Bilkszto, the school principal who was bullied and humiliated by the leaders of a DEI training session and by the Toronto District School Board. It’s appalling that a dedicated educator who worked hard to assist adults...

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Canada is apparently revelling in its status as the world’s most politically correct country. http://apple.news/AMjBS8cXXRwCMI0CLb89y_Q There are undoubtedly many Canadians who are embarrassed, as I am, by the amusement that the American and British media enjoy...

    Homeless Tent Cities in Canada

    Two fires broke out in tents as the deadline approached: one large and with visible flames, the other just smoke. Several police officers were stationed on the roof of city hall (???) as firefighters and volunteers fought the blazes. Other volunteers were helping camp members take down the...

    I’d prefer 24 Sussex, as the provincial parliament is in Wascana Park, and we just got rid of an encampment there in the last couple years that was there for 240+ days. The parliament provincially is in the big park in Regina, that we ALL pay for and ALL get to use hopefully.

    Drove by City Hall with one of the Grandkids tonight. Eight police officers on the sidewalk, standing in a group, waiting. Busy place. 24hr notice to move. I think they’re on Fire/OD/smashing windows watch. Be interesting tomorrow.
