leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney is pushing Canadian liberalism to its breaking point22·3 days agoCall and write your MP
Right, because this has always worked so well.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney is pushing Canadian liberalism to its breaking point7·3 days agoRooted in Enlightenment-era thinking, liberalism positions individual political rights and equality as the foundation of a free and just society.
I think we’ve seen enough of liberalism to know this is just marketing slop. Liberalism is the belief that profit-maximizing capitalism is compatible with democracy.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta’s Perverse New Barriers to COVID Vaccines | The Tyee3·3 days agoAs the article explains very clearly, this goes way beyond incompetence. It is most certainly deliberate.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Linux@lemmy.ml•What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users39·7 days agoWhy would “Linux” want to get more users, whatever “Linux” is.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Doug Ford floats use of notwithstanding clause in Toronto bike lanes case2·9 days agoHow does the Notwithstanding Clause apply to a court decision? The Clause is about the Charter, which has nothing to do with bike lanes.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada is a huge country. We are witnessing simultaneous attacks on bike lanes in multiple provinces (Ontario, Alberta, Nova Scotia). This is very suspicious.51·9 days agoDreeshen emerged from his July 30 meeting with Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek pleased that she agreed with his interest in removing problematic bike lanes.
Gondek campaigned as the progressive alternative. She has done the UCP’s bidding at every turn, including approving the billion dollar boondoggle of the Flames’ arena.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of PalestiniansEnglish3·10 days agoBoycott Microsoft.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump slams Canada's plan to recognize Palestinian state amid trade talks1·15 days agoI don’t understand Carney’s timing on this. Why didn’t he wait until after a deal was signed before announcing that Canada would recognize a Palestine state?
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Health advocates shocked as Carney Liberals back away from pharmacare program14·18 days agoThe Liberals only went along with a very limited pharmacare program because they NDP could topple them. They vilified the NDP more than the Conservatives in the election campaign, and now that the NDP was decimated because progressive voters wanted to make sure Poilievre didn’t get elected, the Liberals don’t need to pretend they care about pharmacare any more.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Report suggests arms still flow from Canada to Israel despite denials17·18 days agoThe report does not “suggest”, it shows.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump Officials Discussed $500M Alberta Independence Loan, Separatist Claims5·22 days agoThis is of course complete rubbish, and treasonous rubbish at that.
You can also install KDE Plasma on Linux Mint: https://linuxiac.com/how-to-install-kde-plasma-on-linux-mint-22/. My own distro right now is TuxedoOS with KDE Plasma (Can go on any hardware, not just Tuxedo computers) and it works great for me.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta Premier Danielle Smith demands apology from fire-stricken town of Jasper3·28 days agoSo unfair. They all got fancy jackets and everything, why doesn’t the report mention that.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Wildfires show why CBC needs public safety mandate, McGill research centre says4·30 days agoAbsolutely. This is a great example of why we need a thriving public broadcaster. The lesson from the United States right now is very clear: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/06/trump-funding-cuts-npr-pbs-rural-america
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta's oil production is at a record high. Many Canadians don't understand why Albertan oil workers are so angry and talk about separatism. Reuters explains what's going on2·30 days agoIt’s not “a lot of Albertans”. It’s conservative political messaging, pushing the idea that Alberta pays into equalization transfers. Alberta doesn’t pay a dime into equalization.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta's oil production is at a record high. Many Canadians don't understand why Albertan oil workers are so angry and talk about separatism. Reuters explains what's going on11·30 days agoThe Alberta oil economy is thriving
There’s no such thing as an Alberta oil economy. Most of the shareholders in the Alberta oil companies are foreign. https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/august-2023/foreign-oil-companies/
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Prime Minister Mark Carney is under intense pressure from the United States and Car Companies to make an electric vehicle U-turn.3·30 days agoWe need to be investing in electric mass transit. Powered by renewables.
leastaction@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Prime Minister Mark Carney is under intense pressure from the United States and Car Companies to make an electric vehicle U-turn.16·30 days agoThere’s a lot of words missing in in the first statement. Shareholders in American auto manufacturers other than Tesla want to get rid of the electric vehicle mandate. Also note that elsewhere in the world internal combustion cars are losing ground to electric vehicles. Do we really want to attach ourselves to this sinking ship?
leastaction@lemmy.cato Buy Canadian@lemmy.ca•Canada should build public cloud infrastructure rather than relying on U.S. tech giants1·1 month agoThere’s https://freetubeapp.io/ for the desktop and https://newpipe.net/ for Android phones.
Canada is exporting to the US, not the other way around. We can’t tariff our own exports.
Or are you in the US? In which case do you seriously expect the Trump administration to tariff Canadian arms exports destined for Israel?
