Conservatives Pounce!
“When Republicans screw up, that’s the story. When Democrats screw up, the Republicans’ reaction is the story.” – Jim Treacher
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre pounced on a government report that he argues predicts a “terrifying” world in 2040 to warn voters of the dangers of giving the Liberals a fourth term — but the actual report is far more nuanced.
@joe_warmington– Here’s my question to @PierrePoilievre today — I was heckled and berated for asking it by other media. It offers insight to me why they perhaps were not offered a seat on the bus.
Things You’ll Finally See On The CBC
@jonkay – For those following the bizarre afterlife of Canada’s 2021 “unmarked graves” social panic, we’ve hit a landmark of sorts. It’s now been almost 4 years, & CBC is finally admitting no graves have been found at any of the locations once identified by GPR tech as “potential” graves.

Well, Rats!
Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge will not seek re-election, Radio-Canada has learned.
But first, she needs to shovel money out the door.
But before she goes, St-Onge plans to fulfil a key part of her mandate letter as Heritage Minister.
According to information obtained by Radio-Canada, this week St-Onge will unveil her proposal to modernize CBC/Radio-Canada’s mandate in the Broadcasting Act, which has not been reviewed since 1991.

Dispatches from the Maple Gulag Truck Stop
Truck driver and trucker advocate Gord Magill delves into the problems with the North American trucking industry and carnage that has resulted from decades of poor decisions.
The Motor Carrier Act of 1980, passed by President Jimmy Carter, introduced sweeping reforms to how trucking was regulated, who could become a motor carrier (literally anyone), and removed government control and oversight of rates that carriers could charge their customers. This piece of legislation has been blamed by many for all of the woes in trucking for decades now, and one of the most infamous scholarly works on this change, that ought to be read by everyone, is called Sweatshops on Wheels : Winners and Losers in Trucking Deregulation. I interviewed the author, Dr Michael Belzer, an economics professor at Wayne State University in Michigan and former trucker, for my podcast, which you can listen to here.
In what should have been a surprise to no one that understands economics, the opening of the market to anyone with a pulse lead to an immediate environment of cut-throat competition which exists to this day, and is one of the reasons why truck drivers in 2024 are earning, on average, in inflation adjusted dollars, 50% of what they earned in 1980.
