This is a catalyst of greater discussion here in Canada - the destruction of local media has decimated local decision making.
Gone are the days of local news offices and we need folks to resurrect it away from Postmedia.
I think we can re-democratize local media if they have the support.

meanwhile, in Alberta, the provincial government is actively interfering in school libraries by having books removed. for example: in Edmonton, books with 2SLGBTQ+ themes such as Gender Queer and Two Boys Kissing have been banned - on the grounds that they're "too sexually explicit" 👖🔥

The right to strike is meaningless if the government orders binding arbitration and back to work every time a strike becomes ‘disruptive’ … disruption is the point of a strike - it’s how labour action works - not allowing it undermines workers.
As a result of this readiness to jump to intervention, government is encouraging CEOs to push workers toward strikes rather than negotiating in good faith.

It was just brought to my attention that the pre-order for vaccines for Influenza and Covid is set up with Salesforce, a cloud-based software "focused on sales, customer service, marketing automation, e-commerce, analytics, artificial intelligence" etc.
This is now money being spent on a tracking and payment system for public health care that should be free. Not integrated with the MyHealth portal, from what I can see so far.
We are being set up to pay extra for healthcare services that should be free. Healthcare that always was free in the past. Who voted for this?
