If I ever ran for office, I'd run on a single issue, government transparency.
Unless it was super duper top secret, every single gov't decision must be automatically and immediately posted to public page/site that had a RSS/Fediverse feed.
Governments are FOR the people BY the people, give us the info!
Let us deal w/ the firehose of information, we can take it!
#CanPoli

In Canada, passengers are the regulators because Government is bought by lobbyists.
“In the absence of stronger regulation, Lukšcs says passengers who are told their flights are cancelled due to a maintenance issue should press airlines for specifics — outlined on his website — including which aircraft was originally assigned, whether it was swapped and when any mechanical issues were identified and fixed.
Because, he says, there's a fundamental issue at play.
"We cannot really trust what the airlines are telling us as passengers."”

Make no mistake. Regardless of the fact that the *vast* majority (70% ) of Albertans don't want to have a referendum because they have never wanted to separate from Canada, this is an effort, supported by a foreign country, namely the United States of America and traitorous sycophants in Alberta, to weaken, and break up Canada.
It won't be successful.
Albertans don't want it.

And there you have it, the old "Tutor" planes of the Snowbirds will be officially retired after this flying season.
The squadron will be replaced by 2030 according to Minister McGuinty with the CT-157 Siskin II.
It is a turbo-prob plane now moving into place as the RCAF's primary training aircraft.
It is a Swiss-made Pilatus PC-21 aircraft. Last week, the first CT-157 achieved "factory acceptance”, so the timing is no coincidence I'm sure. Looks like these will be the new snowbirds in 2030.

This 10 minute “forward guidance” message is worth watching from Carney. It is mostly, but not all, the same talking points. He continues to make suggestions that Canada is moving as quickly as possible from USA trade and other links. There is some strong 1812 symbolism and nationalism toward the end. The video is reminiscent of the pandemic messages from Trudeau but with less immediate emergency and more political re-packaging of previous announcements.
I would give it a B based on a solid message, but still lacking a lot of clarity and concrete, identifiable and accountable actions.

I have a problem with the House of Commons floor crossers, as I think most people do.
But I havent been able to come up with a more palatable alternative or at least a different scenario.
The biggest problem, for me, is the act of poaching. The trickle of MPs.
It gives the impression, falsely or not, that these people needed just a little more time, a little more convincing, a little more... ? to eventually turn on their constituent's choice of party.
What would be more pallatable? How about a group? Rather than a trickle.
People tallk, it is naïve to think it isn't known between individuals who may be thinking of leaving or switching parties.
So if there is more than one with that thought I think it would be better for our democracy if those MPs banded together and made their concerns known privately in their caucus first, then if nothing changes, they communicate to others including the public, and make it clear this is something that could happen en masse.
Then at least it takes away the transactional nature of it and frames it more as a democratic choice, informed by whatever situation is happening and done for the benefit of constituents and Canadians.
How does this change get made? Unfortunately that's the hard part. It would be hard or maybe inappropriate to "legislate".
It would need to be an expectation, a habit, a "norm".
It could happen. Though today, politicians following "norms" seems to be a little out of vogue.

Wow. This is a good result!
"In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has created a new tort of intimate partner violence that will allow people to sue for damages when they have been subject to abuse in a relationship.
"Intimate partner violence is a pernicious social ill deserving of the full attention of the law," the summary of the majority judgement says in defining intimate partner violence.
"Best understood, it is not confined to conduct that inflicts physical or psychological injury, but includes all abusive conduct by which one intimate partner coerces and controls the other, thus depriving them of their autonomy.””

For the love of god, we've had transcription software for decades that will take your spoken words and transcribe them without trying to add in other stuff. Yes, sometimes they get the words wrong, but at least they're not hallucinating about topics they are not designed to understand or opine about.

When I was researching and then pursuing obtaining my Spanish citizenship, I came to realize that citizenship laws are incredibly varied and changeable. They'll change with the political winds, for good and bad!
It looks like Canada has gone a little against the grain and opened up its citizenship requirements!
Now anyone with a proveable ancestral connection to Canada can apply, not just one generation back! This is even better than Spain “Historical Memory" changes that are now slowly expiring!
"“In January 2025, we had 32 requests for certified copies of vital records and this year in January 2026, we've had over 1,000,” she said, adding most of those requests were made by Americans.”

Here is a future I never considered until this moment.
There is a timeline where Canadians are defending against an invading force in part to prevent that force, or anyone including Canada itself, from extracting its fossil fuel resources.
We would be defenders of not just Canada, but a stable climate.
This is the future Putin, Trump, and others are pushing us toward.
Where is Mark Carney on that?

“Transcripts created by 12 of the 20 programs contained incorrect information like capturing a different drug than was prescribed by the doctor.”
12 of 20 is a 60% failure rate.
Seventeen of the 20 systems missed key details about patients’ mental health issues. “
17 of 20 is a 85% failure rate.
THESE SYSTEMS ARE NOWHERE CLOSE TO ACCURATE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR HEALTH MATTERS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS IMPORTANT.

Good to see the NDP in second with 18.9% of the vote in one of the by-elections last night.
The polarization between the Bloc and Liberals in Terrebonne is pretty stunning but at least there was a clear winner this time! The CPC got just 3% and the other three barely added up to 1% there!
The Toronto ridings were at least a little more spread out, but both remain solid Liberal seats with more than 60% of the vote.
I don’t like how the Liberals gained their majority, a first in Canadian history… but that’s the hand we are dealt. Time to work at it.

*Right underneath* the massive headline from the Auditor General of Ontario warning of AI ‘hallucinations' in medical AI transcripts used by Ontario doctors, there is another article with the headline
“Artificial Intelligence shows promise in emergency room diagnosis”
NO! There is not promise. There are CLEAR DANGERS being pointed out by responsible adults.
"“Inaccuracies in medical notes generated by AI scribe systems could potentially result in inadequate or harmful treatment plans that may potentially impact patient health outcomes,” the auditor’s report said.”

It would be a tragic, horrible irony if the way we got to a renewable energy future is by oil soaked countries and their genocidal, idiotic leaders and hangers on destroying themselves in a final desperate act to secure the entire thing for themselves.
But that would also be entirely human.
We need to have a long and honest talk with our Albertan and other Canadian oil friends and convince them that we need to get out of this sphere as fast as possible for our own safety.

Dear Canadians.
Send a message to our Prime Minister!
pm@pm.gc.ca
This is what I just sent.
Dear Prime Minister,
I am shocked and deeply disturbed by your inaction and inability to call out the President of the United States who is using the rhetoric of a madman.
Canada should call in the USA Ambassador, close our airspace to USA forces on Iran-related flights, and denounce in public this clearly criminal and suicidal rhetoric.
Sincerely
Chris
