The monkeys paw will surely curl when they also ban students from attending the March for Life in Ottawa right?
When I was in school my school sent us every year pitching it as a free trip to Ottawa.

Yeah I remember when they rolled that out… it does not give me hope for the future of privacy.
Canada needs to really ramp up our privacy laws, I’m not crazy about GDPR specifically, but there needs to be something more substantial here.
Correct
Never connect your tv to the internet.
I love stories like this
Growing up in northern Ontario my dad used to read us poetry, with a family favourite being The Cremation of Sam McGee by Robert Service.
In 2009 they found the wreck of the A J Goddard on Lake Laberge (also using a fish finder) which sank just a three years before the poem was written. At the time my brother and I were excited thinking it was the same boat as in the poem, but later I learned the poem is based on an cremation in the engine of a different wrecked ship. It was very fun speculating though! You never really think of how dangerous those boats were.
Another interesting bit of trivia is that Parks Canada actually owns (manages?) two shipwrecks in the Arctic, the HMS Terror and the Erebus, which were only discovered in 2016 and 2014 respectively. Inuit oral stories and legends actually resulted in the discovery of the wrecks 170 years later, it’s a very interesting story.
Nothing is more conservative than selling off Canadian interests to foreign companies.
So many bike lanes are not well considered. They have poor maintenance because they’re the shoulder, they can be filled with debris that punctures tires or reduces traction, there are manhole covers are grates, parked cars, or they lead into sidewalks that you can’t legally bike on, etc.
As a rider you have to do what’s safest, and when there isn’t quality infrastructure that means avoiding certain roads and taking the full lane on others.
This law would simply make it impossible to create that infrastructure, which really sucks
This is what bugs me about the Ford government
They want none of the responsibilities or finances of a provincial government, and they constantly want to step in to municipal issues and politics.
Yeah, I should add, I’m not against reforming the justice system, really I’m frustrated by the lack of enforcement and lack of resources given to our courts.
I’d like the justice system funded enough that criminals aren’t getting released due to long court dates or things like that.
I also want the police at a local level to take more action on petty crimes, right now criminals know the consequences are nil and it’s contributing to a more expensive/lower quality society.
I would rather have Harper than Polievre. I honestly believe that Harper loves Canada, though I disagree strongly with his policies.
I think they know they’re going to get creamed this election, so Trudeau is hoping he can absorb the impact and let the party choose a new leader and rebuild.
I do wish they’d announce Trudeau won’t run for re-election, and announce a new leader post-election. Someone not from the inner circle so that they can give Canadians something to vote for instead of choosing who they’re voting against.
This is super frustrating to me.
It’s a great solution to a real problem, it works with our market economy, it works for canadians, and now we’re seeing it’s reducing emissions. You can’t leave the free market to manage externalities, if you could they wouldn’t be externalities.
I’m doubly frustrated the NDP are now taking this line and saying it puts the onus on the little guy. We could improve dispersement schedules so the little guy is less impacted, but as the article states, the little guy is coming out a head on the backs of the big polluters.
ETA: I enjoyed this article, it felt like good quality journalism to me. The Walrus doesn’t write the style I prefer to read, but I do appreciate their reporting.
Super, let’s resolve all our labor issues by not negotiating knowing we’ll get backstopped by the government.
If I were an MP and this was my party’s official line, I would be very worried.
You need people to want to vote for you, if you don’t give then something they’ll just not vote, like in Ontario, which only boosts the CPC who are energized and angry.
I try and give them the benefit of the doubt, they’re my dads favourite paper
The Globe has utterly lost my respect the last several years.
I personally don’t find them very objective lately.
If the facts are accurately represented here, that’s very concerning.
We should all have the right to yell political things at politicians from a distance with no threats of violence, that doesn’t seem like it’s harassment or mischief at all.
That’s the kind of action I’d expect if someone, say, blockaded the MPs place of work, carried and displayed a noose with the MPs name on it, threatened that they may have weapons, and used horns loud enough to cause hearing damage.
I’ve got a family member who talks about his 3 day stay in Winnipeg when the train broke down on a cross country trip.
This would have been like 30/40 years ago, but he still refuses to ride the via rail to this day.
I’m surprised they still run out of water and food on these passenger trips, I know there will always be mechanical issues, but they really should be prepared.
Is there evidence of this happening?
And if so, I think I would just plug it into an old router via ethernet with no external connectivity.
