Overdue.
Two notable takeaways from Newfoundland’s recent budget: this is a record breaking deficit figure from an allegedly conservative government, and health care now eats up nearly half of all spending. We’ll be well on the way to two thirds before long and that will be the case for every province.
The budget forecasts a deficit of $688.5 million and a $20.8 billion net debt by the end of the 2026-27 fiscal year.
The province will spend $5.4 billion on health care — 42 per cent of its entire expenses — including more than $47 million to create 200 new long-term care beds.
New information dumps on a certain Los Angeles County “Teacher of Month”, including a now-deleted account at BlueSky (where the Better People gather to escape the dangerous speech policies of X).
Cole Allen, the gunman from last night’s WH Correspondents Dinner, maintained an active online presence, especially on the leftwing social media platform Bluesky where he went by the handle http://ColdForce.bsky.social with multiple references violence and guns.
In one post he calls President Trump the Antichrist.
In another he recommends buying guns in reaction to Trump’s DOJ exploring ways to ban firearm purchases from transgenders.
In one post he calls Trump a sociopathic mob boss and in another referred to him as a traitor with known connections to Putin, repeating a favorite leftwing Russian Hoax talking point.
He also attacks JD Vance for advocating an end to America’s funding the war in Ukraine and for his criticisms of the Pope. He seems pretty fixated on Ukraine more generally.
Of course, he had a manifesto.
Unaffordable housing creates a lot more problems than declining provincial education funding as families move to cheaper abodes. But then again, the same people bemoaning this problem are likely the same ones who cheered for zero percent interest rates that sparked the housing bubble to begin with.
Families aren’t just moving to a different neighbourhood; they’re leaving the region entirely. Driven by a cost of living that has become unsustainable for many young parents, the “Surrey dream” is being packed into moving trucks and headed further east — out of the valley and, in many cases, out of the province.
There’s a simple option for people alarmed about the high cost of raising kids: don’t have any. But if you have enough political sway, maybe you can coerce that magical entity known as “others” to shoulder the burden for you. To be fair, California is really just following Canada’s lead on this matter.
The number of 4-year-olds attending state-funded preschools reached record highs last school year, driven by states embracing universal access and an unprecedented $14.4 billion in spending.
More than half the nation’s public preschool enrollment gain — some 25,000 students — came in California, which this year made every 4-year-old eligible for its “ transitional kindergarten ” program, or “TK.”
“Transitional kindergarten”? I wonder who came up with that title.

An Act to Remove Politics and Ideology from Classrooms and Amend the Education Act
…will require unbiased teaching devoid of statements on political, social or ideological matters and protect employees from participating in activities that infringe their beliefs while ensuring students can express their views freely.
“These changes strengthen accountability, reinforce neutrality and respect, and make it clear that politics and ideology have no place in Alberta classrooms,” said Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides in a statement Tuesday.
The province is also establishing requirements for displaying the Alberta and Canadian flags, the playing of the national anthem at least once a week and oversight in respect to what flags are displayed in schools in relation to Alberta’s heritage, school culture and activities.
Why the SKParty government hasn’t led the way on this is anyone’s guess. There is zero downside.

At Retraction Watch: The official journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society has just acknowledged that more than 100 of its case reports are fabricated.
Paediatrics & Child Health, the journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society, has published the cases since 2000 in articles for a series for its Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program. The articles usually start with a case description followed by “learning points” that include statistics, clinical observations and data from CPSP. The peer-reviewed articles don’t state anywhere the cases described are fictional.
The corrections come following a January article in New Yorker magazine that mentioned one of the reports — “Baby boy blue,” a case published in 2010 describing an infant who showed signs of opioid exposure via breast milk while his mother was taking acetaminophen with codeine. The New Yorker article made public an admission by one of the coauthors that the case was made up.

So, yes – he’s done the math: In a recent interview with CBC News, [India’s High Commissioner to Canada, Dinesh K. Patnaik] suggested that because of our “complementary economies,” Canada should be eager to welcome an additional 60 million Indians.
Here’s hoping that Javier Milei’s labor market reforms continue to gain traction. Notice how the news item is framed in such a way as to draw no connection between the undeserved power of Peronist labor unions and “frequent economic shocks”.
The bill, which grants employers greater flexibility in matters of hiring, firing, severance and collective bargaining, has drawn fierce opposition from labor unions and their Peronist allies, who argue it would roll back measures that protect workers from abuse and Argentina’s notoriously frequent economic shocks.

Garbage in, garbage graduates;
Berkeley gender and race studies students were given the task of creating and editing Wikipedia pages and filling them with critical theory/queer propaganda instead of submitting final papers — for over a decade.
“It’s about who controls knowledge.”
“We’re not changing history,” Rodriguez explained while literally changing history. “We’re just correcting Wikipedia’s heteronormative bias by having ideologically uniform students systematically revise articles according to our approved narrative framework.”
It’s one thing to admit that BC’s approach to hard drugs has failed, but it’s another to offer up taxpayer funded treatment programs for every addict for as long as it takes as the alternative. I’m pretty sure that Elenore Sturko’s not planning to fund any of that on her own.
“If someone voluntarily wants to get help, I am your biggest champion,” she counters. “I want you to walk into any door and to be able to say, ‘I want detox today, and I need to go to treatment, and I’d like lifelong support and counselling if I need it, and a nice place to live that’s drug-free and safe for me.’
