    https://www.viarail.ca/en/offers/canada-strong-pass It’s short order but I highly recommend making use of the VIA rail Canada Strong Pass before it expires September second. We used it to travel on the Skeena from Jasper to Prince Rupert (overnights are in Prince George). We had one day in Prince Rupert, their first good day of the year in Canada’s rainiest city, and it was amazing. The train ride is stunning, the return trip was just as stunning, it felt like a new trip. We thought we’d get card games or reading in, but we were glued to the windows. It’s so clean, spacious and freeing to walk around during the trip. Our attendant during the trip both ways was Moun, and he was wonderful! Sign up for the reward points before you book. Earn them and save for future trips, they seem to add up quickly or you can donate them to other members - I mean send them my way if you won’t use them haha. It was our first VIA trip and we are hooked and cannot wait for our next one. That said VIA needs some serious expansion out west.

    Yup, I think the article is about making sure the healthcare side is accounted for when building, rather than not building Major infrastructure projects contribute to both local and provincial economies. When managed well, the economic benefits of such projects can positively contribute to community health. But when not managed properly, the pressures that major infrastructure projects place on local health-care services can be significant. Therefore, we strongly urge governments and businesses to consider their impacts on overburdened and hard-working health-care providers in rural and remote communities. On site medical attention would help as well: How well a project manages its health service impacts clearly matters. When project workers resided in well-managed camps supported by competent onsite medical service providers, the pressures on the local system were less than when workforces did not have adequate accommodation and health supports.

    For me it was both. The tariffs were when it stopped being just rhetoric. I started my boycott as soon as Trump implemented tariffs at the beginning of February (or almost implemented, because he mostly chickened out, if I remember correctly). And he’s given me plenty of other reasons to continue my boycott since then.

    You know what? I totally share your feelings towards Canadian politics. It’s god damn disheartening. For decades now I feel like our voices are not really heard. Parties make promises during election time and fuck us over as soon as they’re in power. The only time we’ve ever gained anything is when the NDP actually had some leverage in a minority government. And we don’t give the Greens enough support. But this time, if your MP is not liberal, you should still call your MP and even call Carney’s. Let them know that what’s happening in Gaza is unacceptable and that we can’t just stand aside and let it happen. As bleak as it all is, let’s just try this one time. It’s 5 minutes. It’s not that big an effort.

    white supremacists are easily catered to by far right politicians, who are also overwhelmingly funded by heavy polluters, oil, coal, natural gas, etc. Trump is a great example, not only did he run on “drill baby, drill” and is actively working on expanding oil and coal in the united states, he is also is actively forcing institutions to delete climate data and turning off satelites that measure climate data. essentially anything green is also on the chopping block. solar, wind, etc. so yes, in part, white supremecy is to blame for the election of candidates who do not care for the environment, and perpetuate lies and misinformation about climate change not being real. you just have to rile your base on anti immigrant propaganda, and they flock to the voting boothes to stop “white genocide” or whatever foolish nonsense they believe in. not saying they are fully to blame, but they are flocking to candidates who either dont believe in climate change, or simply dont care about it. ignoring that is like ignoring that LGBTQ+ people are more likely to vote for green progressives. everyone contributes to policy when they vote, and everyone who votes is partially responsible for the outcome of that election. edit: also when it comes to china, using them as a “whataboutism” doesnt excuse the behaviour of another country.

    food, housing, transport is the three things that the government should take care of though food is more complex than housing and transport because there’s more things to take care of, more members involved and more things to plan out carefully

    A Globe and Mail reporter investigating allegations of political interference at Alberta’s provincial health authority has been targeted by an anonymous account on X, which posted surreptitiously obtained photographs of her in public settings and described her private movements. Pictures of Calgary correspondent Carrie Tait meeting two women, who are former political staffers in the government of Premier Danielle Smith, were posted earlier this month by an account calling itself The Brokedown. Details about the photographs were also posted beforehand by a podcaster, who made references in a video to a meal that Ms. Tait attended. He confirmed to The Globe that he was supplied with the photographs in advance of their posting on X. Separately, someone disguised a phone number to look like Ms. Tait’s mobile number to make calls to multiple people. One photo, posted on July 10, showed Ms. Tait with one of the women in a park with a dog. In another picture, posted two days later, Ms. Tait sat with another woman on a patio at a Mexican restaurant. The X account was launched this month. In one of its first posts, it promised it would “start exposing Carrie Tait’s sources in the continuing health care saga. You are not going to want to miss this!” For the past five months, Ms. Tait has been writing about allegations from Athana Mentzelopoulos, the former chief executive of Alberta Health Services, the agency that administers public health care in the province. In a wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed in February, Ms. Mentzelopoulos alleges that she was terminated over an internal investigation that she ordered into procurement issues at the agency. She says pressure was placed on her by staff in Danielle Smith’s office to take action that would benefit certain private companies. Mentzelopoulos says she was dismissed two days before she was set to brief the province’s Auditor-General. Her allegations have not been tested in court. In a statement of defence, the Alberta government said she was fired “because she couldn’t do her job.” Ms. Mentzelopoulos’s allegations are now the subject of separate investigations by Alberta’s Auditor-General, the RCMP, and retired Manitoba judge Raymond Wyant, who was appointed by the province. Kathryn Marshall, a lawyer for the women who appear in the photographs alongside Ms. Carrie Tait, said her clients have also received threatening text messages, which she believes are part of a “stalking” effort to prevent people with links to government from speaking with journalists. “I believe that there is someone either on their own or working with a group of others who are clearly engaged in a campaign of harassment and intimidation of women who either currently work for the Alberta government or formerly worked for the Alberta government,” Ms. Marshall said in an interview. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-globe-and-mail-reporter-targeted-by-online-campaign-photographed/

    Carney didn’t run with this in the platform, no Canadians were consulted on this. Carney absolutely ran on a platform of Canadian industry independence, and building infrastructure to that end as quickly as possible. If anyone didn’t see a bill like C-5 coming as a means to that end, one was not paying attention. The harm of failing to consult on such a rushed piece of legislation is the harm. Then I would argue that no harm was caused because bills pass regularly without further consultation from the public. This happens because we elect people to draft, vote on, and pass legislation. Just think what PP would do with these powers? Even if we believe Carney will act honouably, this legislation opens the door to all sorts of damage in the name of “projects of national interest” for all federal gov’t’s to come. Fear mongering helps no one, and is not a valid argument against the legislation. The Tribes bringing this ridiculous lawsuit to the courts is a waste of time and resources as no damage has been caused by the passing of this bill, and it is absolutely insulting to the idea of truth and reconciliation that they demand $100 million for not asking to pass the bill first to “set an example”. If they do not like how the Canadian Government is doing things they have a legal right to self determination and Governance.

    Yes, it could “represent a stark manifestation of a deeply troubling and accelerating trend”. Or it could just be few right wing nuts who joined up to shoot bullets and blow stuff up.

    Author: Gary N. Wilson | Professor of Political Science, University of Northern British Columbia American tariffs and fears of a prolonged recession have increased calls to expand resource development and infrastructure projects in Canada. The pace and scope of expansion projects like these have major implications for Canada on many levels, including: commitments to environmental sustainability, relations with Indigenous Peoples and the quality of local health services. In a study that I conducted with environmental health researcher Barbara Oke in northern British Columbia, we found that major resource projects can strain local health-care services in rural and remote regions. In particular, the influx of workers connected with development projects puts significant pressures on health-care providers. This is especially concerning as local health-care services are already experiencing funding, infrastructure and staff shortages. Therefore, it’s critical that government and industry actively consider these pressures when planning new projects.

    This seems like a fairly consistent story we hear about the RCMP. It seems like there’s a regular release of studies showing mismanagement, a toxic culture, and favoritism. The two that stand out are the missing women enquiry in Vancouver (which included the RCMP and Vancouver Police), and the Nova Scotia mass shooter enquiry. This one doesn’t include incompetence, poor training, or sexual harassment though.
