The gas in those pumps was refined weeks ago, from oil extracted months ago, none of which came through the Straits of Hormuz. So why does it cost 15c more per litre than it did LAST Friday? I ask why, in

The Tyee is proud to have published this important investigation by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. We condemn this egregious harassment of a journalist for doing her job, and have offered support as she deals with this disturbing situation.
This is a marvelous change not only for the Humpback whale 🐋 population but for all of us. We need to keep our gentle giants from going extinct.

This International Women’s Day, many women workers are struggling in low-waged sectors of the economy while those working in public services have watched their wages stagnate. So where are we in closing the wage gap? Here’s an update. 1/9 bit.ly/4bot6E9
Like father, like son. Bizarre.
“Dr. David Edward-Ooi Poon should not be be confused with his father, Edward Poon, who was convicted of two counts of sexual assault in Saskatchewan in 2010 and had his medical licence revoked.”
An excellent At Issue discussion tonight. Thoughtful, balanced and insightful analysis.
Even more astounding is those that keep asking the same questions, with the same snotty tone appear to think they are smarter, righteous and powerful. Instead, they look silly and down right pathetic with their smug little passive-aggressive slights and critiques.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Iran war expands to dozen countries in 72 hours
The sheer geographic scope of the war is staggering — directly involving at least 11 countries, disrupting the global flow of oil and gas, and rattling markets worldwide.

Problem is, Carney--like you or i--doesn't have a crystal ball. He has to deal with a fluid and complex situation, a mercurial president, a principled stance and a diplomatic and practical context. I don't envy him. But I trust him.
This is a terrific program. The students get a nutritious lunch and hard-working parents have one less task in their evening routine.
Too many Canadians think that if they read some articles or listen to an influencer that they’re smarter than the experts who have spent years gaining their understanding by education and experience.
True. True. Oh, the days when journalists were actually interested in serious, impactful components of world affairs.
I would have thought journalists would understand these things. Alas, that seems to be wishful thinking of times gone by.
Maybe but many here in Canada would prefer journalists who aren’t on a personal crusade to try and get a ‘gotcha’ on our smarter-than-them PM.
Michael Chong avoids taking a clear position on US strategy in Iran -- while arguing that "the Canadian government should take a clear position on this matter."

We need to up our level of sophistication stat. Our lazy, hazy days are over. And our big profit banks need to do the work for that money.
