Is Canada Post really β€œtoo expensive”? The numbers tell a story most Canadians haven’t been shown

Is Billy (Age 5) Serious About Eating Ice cream For Ever Meal?

Like a 5 year old, and Trump, it's not a question of what they are serious about. It's a question of what others will let them get away with.

Stop asking if Trump is serious and start asking why is everyone letting him do it?

@mark-carney.bsky.social gave Dani Smith a sweetheart pipeline deal that lets her and AB ignore environmental laws.

Do you think every other Premier is going to sit silent? Or will they want similar deals that let them off the hook for following the laws of this land?

EV drivers to be bombarded with in-car adverts Advertisers once had to rely on catchy radio jingles or splashy billboards to grab the attention of drivers for a few seconds while they were on the road.

This seems like a serious safety issue www.stuff.co.nz/business/360...

I keep telling this story.

Imagine a vast orchard, bequeathed to the Boomers by their parents.

They spend their working lives tending it, growing it, selling the apples and cider. They show it to their kids, and they say, "It'll be up to you to keep this going when I retire."

Graphic asking, β€œShould politicians who win majorities with a minority of the vote control your healthcare?” It states that first past the post gives near dictatorial power to parties with 30–40% support, and concludes that proportional representation means real accountability and better care for everyone, with an image of a hand holding a syringe surrounded by colorful medical icons.

Politicians with 30%-40% of the vote should not control 100% of your healthcare decisions.

First past the post rewards parties that ignore most voters.

Proportional representation means governments that actually serve the majority.

Making it thicker would also mean the camera won't stick out and it can lay flat without a case. And have a battery that can support its power hungry now UI.

Canada Post submits overhaul plan to the federal government | CBC News Canada Post has submitted its plan to the federal government to transform its struggling business model into a financially sustainable postal service.

Mark Carney’s Liberals were not elected on a mandate to gut Canada Post, but they’re doing it anyway.

The minister intervened to begin the process, now management has now submitted a restructuring plan *in the middle of collective bargaining* that it refuses to share with Canadians.

Or get Carney to resign and replace him with a PM that can work well with others. If Carney can refuse to compromise and get a majority why would he start listening to others next time.

Blame the Liberals for doing bad work not anyone calling them out on it.
