There are no roads connecting Nunavut to the rest of Canada

and let the rest of us keep building renewables (eg, solar, wind)

It'll be great to shut it (!), but ride share apps (eg, uber) have already blown this door open. Not just surge pricing (ie, when there's high demand on the app, which doesn't use individual data per se). But folks, mostly with mobility issues, have told me that once they start making the same trip regularly in an app (eg, to the grocery store and back weekly) then that trip starts gets significantly more expensive for them in the app

A prime example of the sentiment "billionaires are a cancer" (that we need to beat)

Right on, CMA!

“The notwithstanding clause should not be a tool to end public and legal debate,” CMA president Dr. Margot Burnell said in a statement.

The CMA says being able to obtain Charter rulings, even when laws remain in force under the notwithstanding clause, remains critical for transparency, accountability and evidence-based health policy.

The CMA warns the outcome could have ripple effects beyond Saskatchewan, including its own legal challenge of Alberta’s Bill 26, which it argues interferes with evidence-based medical care and physicians’ freedom of conscience.

Alberta has also invoked the notwithstanding clause to shield that legislation.

Make Nazis afraid again ✊

An investigation by the fifth estate has found the website known as Entropy, which launched in Calgary, is in fact a safe haven for white supremacists and other extremists seeking to monetize the hateful content they livestream to online audiences.

Within two years after it launched in 2019, Entropy processed more than $3 million in transactions and experts say it has since grown to become an essential service for dozens of neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

Many creators have found a home on the Canadian platform after being kicked off and blocked from making money on mainstream platforms such as YouTube for posting antisemitic and racist content that violates the streaming giant’s terms of service.

City council is expected to consider the motion at its next meeting on March 25th. If approved, the pilot program would move forward with plans for four locations across the city, though exactly where those stores could go hasn’t been decided yet.

Kakistocracy ftw! /s

Allow me to provide some context that's glaringly missing from the article. There was a major under-adoption issue that was a factor in the scrapping of this program. This identifies a new target for intervention: incentivizing primary care offices to get off fax so that we can successfully roll out a more efficient electronic systems like this.

Doctors are still faxing prescriptions in 2026. Ottawa’s $250-million program to change that was just shut down

Despite the number of providers on board, use of the service has remained low. Less than 5 per cent of prescriptions are sent electronically in Canada each year, according to reports from Canada Health Infoway and Telus Health.

I fucking hate genAI. Post should be deleted

The public system gets to pay for treating these patients seemingly made sick by a for-profit business and the investigation of said business. I'm so glad we let for-profit companies back into blood collection after kicking them out after the tainted blood scandal of the 1980s in which 1000s were exposed to HIV or Hep C /s

if she believes this is the best way to represent her electorate and that’s her motivation, fine

I'd have liked to see a town hall meeting or other community consultation at the very least. Absent that, I can't help but think it's motivated by self-interest
