The worst merger decision in Canadian history (and there have been many) must be allowing Roger's to buy SHAW - now not only are they considering selling the mobile division to a US private equity group, but they have shut down vital news radio stations across the country
If you hear any politician claiming competition is key, never believe them - we need to own public interest, not make monopolies

Free daytime electricity.
Free
Freeeeeeeeee
Not in BC though because we need more dams and natural gas and shit like that from the 19th century.
Australia is introducing free daytime power in July. They’ve installed so much #solar that the challenge is to use it effectively. People who can shift their electricity usage to the day (think retirees or people that work from home) can save a lot even if they don’t have solar. Anyone with a battery or two installed could see their power bill for many months go to almost zero.Batteries are the key to having an economy that can run on solar and wind all the time.

"States must tackle fossil fuels, the world’s top court has ruled, and failing to prevent harm to the climate could result in them being ordered to pay reparations."

BC Hydro has announced it will add 8500 gigawatt hours from solar and wind over two years. They will come online by 2033 and boost the capacity by 13%. Most of it with better than 50% First Nations ownership.
Site C was over $10 Billion and produces 5100GWh annually.
Also by comparison, there is no Pipeline project and no First Nations have bought Transmountain.

4 wind projects selected from BC Hydro’s 2025 call for power - Port Alberni Valley News

It’s time to build affordable homes, a national network of public grocery stores, electric buses and an east-west clean energy grid. Not massive corporate AI data centres unleashed without any democratic debate.
There's also no real data sovereignty in an AI ecosystem dominated by U.S. tech giants. Telus may be Canadian-owned, but it has already transferred 14 petabytes of Canadian data onto Google Cloud as part of its AI strategy.
This is a technology that will bring sweeping changes at a scale and speed never seen before. Canadians deserve real oversight and a robust regulatory framework before we rush ahead.
That’s why we’re calling for an immediate pause on the construction of any new AI data centres until strong federal guardrails are in place.
We can’t sit back and let Big Tech billionaires decide our future for us.
New privacy report from the Canadian govt on OpenAI:
- OpenAI failed to get consent for scraped data.
- ChatGPT fails accuracy requirements.
- OpenAI fails requirements for personal data deletion.

Danielle Smith’s pipeline will never happen, and we’ll make fucking sure of it.
Call your MP and demand they end this betrayal of British Columbians.
Call David Eby and demand he stands with the Nations and working people of BC who would be left with the wreckage of this disastrous project for generations.
Carney, Smith, and their oil billionaire donors will not hold our province hostage. #bcpoli

Yeshhhh, your landlord doesn't provide YOU with housing because you rent his basement suite. You provide HIM with housing because he couldn't afford his big house WITHOUT YOU!
Mortgage helper? What a sweet phrase/lie.
