this is the hallmark of a death spiral in public capacity btw lol - slash the public sector by tens of thousands of jobs, outsource it to expensive, external, non-auditable contracts, watch the government bleed finances - get worse services, expertise and left to hold the bag
Federal government spent $19 billion on external consultants last year ctvnews.ca/politics/article/…

a public-private model can’t exist in Canada because the second we give the private sector any leeway they’re going to do all they can to destroy our public healthcare. american health and insurance companies will move in and we’ll be fully privatized in a decade
Even socialist Sweden has robust private health care and education. Why shouldn’t Canada? theglobeandmail.com/business…
can’t find any note in the budget of increasing CCA funding, likely will face continued cuts. thanks for papering over this with a tax break i guess
In Budget 2026, we’re backing the Canadian artists who tell our stories.
That means if you’re a Canadian artist, you won’t pay tax on up to $45,000 of income derived from your creative work.

the proper response to these sports bans isn't "oh well there aren't many trans kids athletes anyway." it's "democratic politicians failed to fight for vulnerable children." that there are so few trans kids in sports only heightens rather than mitigates the cruelty.

We shouldn't be mean to people who aren't academically smart but we absolutely have a right + responsibility to shame the intellectually incurious. The world is literally on fire because of anti-intellectualism

I'm becoming tediously sincere, as the world squeezes me with its vice every day. It was supposed to be better than this.

most of llms consciousness discourse is wishful thinking from ppl who are, consciously or not, more invested in the flattery of seeing themselves as creators of life than in the actual benefits of the technology

you’ll own nothing AND austerity will cut public services even further so there won’t be any help
