A private citizen will be punished for contempt of Parliament by the Canadian House of Commons by being "called to the bar" and admonished by the Speaker.
The guilty party is some CEO of some company that got a favourable contract for the ArriveCan app.

Carbon pricing is good for the climate and affordability
Putting a price on carbon emissions from burning coal, oil and gas is a proven way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, conserve energy and shift to renewable sources and technologies.

How does someone trying to find an IP address present a warrant to the dns resolver? Is this a dnssec extension? An AXFR with TSIG/SIG(0)? Or are the warrant & query (and responsive records) transmitted over some other protocol (eg eg dns over postal mail)?

Pierre Poilievre has been caught in his latest bind – his use of “cash-for-access” fundraisers that serve the rich and corporate elite – while publicly criticizing their existence.
Though Poilievre has railed against the Liberal party for “glitzy” fundraisers and providing paid-access to decision makers, the Conservative party leader's latest hypocrisy is being served on a platter.

What if an election were held today? How the votes are counted determines our country’s future.
If the federal election were held today, 41% percent of the popular vote would hand Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives 60% of the seats and 100% of the power.

On this day in 1896, Charles Tupper is sworn in as our 6th Prime Minister. Despite an impressive political career, his term only lasted 10 weeks, the shortest in Canadian history. As the premier of Nova Scotia from 1864 to 1867, he established the public education system and led Nova Scotia into Confederation. He was a builder of railroads and served as President of the Canadian Medical Association.

The Supreme Court of the USA is seeing arguments that would allow a coup and end to democracy in that country. This is not an exaggeration.
Canada should also see this, and respond in defence of democracy.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre might style himself as a “hero of the working class” – but the bald truth is that he’s anything but.
And earlier this week, he tipped his hand. Facing increased scrutiny from the media on how he’d fulfill his promise to “fix the budget” if elected, Poilievre refused to rule out cuts to programs like daycare, pharmacare, and dental care.

infamous conspiracy theorist and founder of the Trump-supporting alt-right show InfoWars Alex Jones just doubled down on his endorsement of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre this weekend. Quote, “he’s saying the same things as me.”
For once, Jones isn’t telling a lie. Word-for-word, Poilievre has been recorded in campaign speeches parroting Jones’s most far-fetched conspiracy theories.

Is this procedural argument about whether mentioning the West Bank in the amendment is an increase in scope surreptitiously a request for the Speaker to declare whether it's part of the state of Palestine? #canpoli

This Youtube from Liberal Minister of Housing Sean Fraser about how Pierre Poillievre (a former Housing Minister himself) “doesn't care” is long, with lots of facts, but good.
And the tag line: “Pierre Doesn't Care" is gold that the Liberals should hammer away at for the next 2 years. Not only because it rhymes, but because it's true.

A very worthwhile read. Canadians are addicted to seeing housing as an investment. Changing those expectations will open up other ways to solve the housing crisis.

Petition to the House of Commons regarding Via Rail Canada's privatization.

Canada setting a blistering population growth of 3.2% in 2023! The most since the 1950s! Back then the baby boom was still a thing. Today, there were only 40,000 more births than deaths, 97.6% of the growth came from international sources. Over 471,000 people settled here (permanent immigration) the other nearly 1 million came as temporary migration, either workers or students. Our population just crossed 41 Million today!

Canada misses chance to tax excess oil and gas profits
This week, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland tabled the federal budget, promising “fairness for every generation.” But the government missed the opportunity to tax the oil and gas industry’s excessive profits, which could have helped finance climate solutions, protect nature and make life more affordable.

“"The offender held antipathy toward any number of identifiable groups, including Muslims, Blacks, Jews and abortion doctors. However, there is a discernible thread that knits his views together…. racist dogma and his consumption of extremist content on the internet fed the strength of his convictions.”
