"BC Ferries is under-funded," Eva Hage, BC Ferries Commissioner said, adding that people need to pull together, pay more, invest. "We have to be in it. Everybody has to own this a little bit." Hage said #Feds also need to treat #BCFerries as a major transportation asset + chip in. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Any #IDF vets in Canada had their phone searched?

By entering into negotiations with Ottawa, Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, has tacitly conceded that it needs news content and that it is valuable for Meta. You might think that, having conceded this, Meta would do what normal companies do and pay for this vital input to its business. Instead, Meta appears to be actively lobbying the Government of Canada to gut the Online News Act so that it can reinstate news on its services without having to pay for it. Having Canadian news back on Meta would be good, but not at the cost of massively damaging Canadian journalism.
