An internal investigation months later showed the team at Canadian Joint Operations Command did in fact violate intelligence-gathering rules by using their personal computers and home networks to collect information about Canadians, CBC News reported last month.
Looks like they were right.
You’re right that it’s a deeply shitty and cynical counterpoint. In terms of realpolitik, you probably aren’t wrong.
Trudeau talked a great game but repeatedly fumbled the implementation. Maybe if his government has done a better job with the branding and politicisation of the various carbon taxes we’d be in a better spot. But we aren’t.
At best we can say this steals some of the thunder from the separatists.
The Globe gets deeper into the numbers:
The government said that by 2040, the carbon price paid by the market will be $130 per tonne. However, the floor price, which is the fee enforced by the government, will be set at only $110 per tonne for 2040. … Alberta will start regulating a floor price in 2030, at $60 per tonne … when Mr. Trudeau was prime minister, it was much stricter, at $170 per tonne by 2030.
So a two thirds discount on the 2030 number. I’m betting that’ll be further watered down in the next few years.
They’re even scaling back the carbon capture plan:
The original aim of Pathways was to reduce emissions by 22 megatonnes per year. Friday’s agreement scales that down to 16 megatonnes per year. And it sets the in-service date at 2035, rather than the previously stated 2030.
In context: annual heating due to climate change is accelerating, as is sea level rise
It looks like they’re dramatically reducing the carbon price, delaying increases to the cost, and reducing the goals for carbon capture.
It looks like a win for the greenhouse gas producers, and yet another fuck you to our kids.
At least someone is getting a fair payout from the lawsuit.
I’m surprised there are any posts left with those filters.
Life is short. Replace cyan toner. 👍
CBC had an interesting blurb about this kind of study: it refers to asking rent, as opposed to what renters actually pay. Typically, most renters only see their rent go up, unless they move. Typically, when renters move equivalent homes will be the current inflated price - so the only way to reduce cost is to reduce amenities.
Regardless however, it’s good that prices are falling.
A new report says average asking rents in Canada have fallen back to levels seen three years ago, as April marked the 19th consecutive year-over-year decline.
The latest monthly analysis from Rentals.ca and Urbanation, based on asking rents across the former’s listings network, says prices reached an average of $2,027, down 4.7 per cent from April 2025.

This kind of fun is not Lemmy approved
Many of my fellow Canadians fell for that shit, and they have free access to doctors.
(Not all of them, because our healthcare system is weirdly understaffed, but many of them)
Thank you, that is helpful
Summit is pretty good.

That’s really interesting. Thanks for those links.
IMO the question is whether current ecosystems are degraded by the reintroduction of horses. It sounds like they have a negative impact on existing ungulates and (maybe?) soils.
I don’t know enough to say if an ecosystem that has existed for 12,000 years without horses that has horses reintroduction, is being degraded or returned to its previous state.
Horses are part of humanity’s footprint. They’re invasive to North America, and degrade native ecosystems.
There are fun specifics, but it sounds like it’s business as usual.
It sounds like the ol’ foreign influence registry still isn’t up and running.
SNC renamed itself AtkinsRealis to try to get people to forget about their various corruption scandals.
