    Alberta Separatism, meet MAGA Slopaganda!

  5. Does Canada Need Government Supermarkets?

    Does Canada Need Government Supermarkets?

    Grocery prices are back in the news… again. How are they ripping us off this time? It turns out the whole system looks a lot like three kids in a trench coat, except each kid is a different layer of the supply chain, and they’re all insisting their margins are razor-thin while your grocery bill gets higher and higher. So are tax rebates or public grocery stores the solution, or just bandages on a much deeper problem? None of this is new, but you know what is new? Surveillance pricing! This dystopian algorithm could adjust what you pay based on the sensitive personal data on your phone. Polls suggest nobody wants this. So why is regulation still lagging behind?

  6. Mark Carney, YouTuber

    22. APR.

    Mark Carney, YouTuber

    Mark Carney is a YouTuber now. Over the weekend the Prime Minister released the first episode of his new YouTube series Forward Guidance. It’s a tightly scripted, “intimate” video designed to project calm authority while walking Canadians through an increasingly shaky relationship with the United States. It’s part history lesson, part recycled campaign slogans, and highly reminiscent of FDR’s fire side chats.  What’s the goal here? Carney frames Canada’s economic relationship with the U.S. as a growing liability and seems to be preparing Canadians for tough times ahead. But is he just shifting the blame?
