Alberta Premier Danielle Smith Floats Tax Discounts to Motivate Women to Produce More Babies
  • Mothers should get an income tax holiday AND $1000 per year for each child, for 10 years, until she no longer has any dependent children. A second parent should get 50% off income taxes so long as they parent in the same household, AND the mother is still legible for the tax relief. That ought to do it!

  • Not just a few bad apples: The Canadian Armed Forces has a nagging far-right problem
  • Any military is inherently an authoritarian organization, which means that it is far more right than left, and that it works constantly to preserve its traditions and hierarchy. It has to resist change that compromises the authority of orders. Otherwise it’s a gang. In order to succeed, military people must be trained to be obedient, and to believe their cause is just, and lawful. The CAF needs to guard against acts and attitudes that are outside of law, while maintaining the necessary ethos. The incidence of “far right” attitudes and activities is low in my opinion but has been dealt with harshly. It ain’t easy being green.

  • Mexico president slams xenophobia after anti-gentrification protest
  • The march came as US President Donald Trump intensifies his crackdown against undocumented immigrants in the United States.

    I recently moved to Mexico from Canada 🇨🇦 because of the culture! Nice weather and lower cost of living are both available in many other countries. Mexico has the culture, the arts, the food, the variety that make life here so interesting. Nay; captivating!
    Please don’t seek to emulate the degenerating culture to the north. No one likes it! Especially not Mexicans, who have seen firsthand their presence as immigrants in USA and Canada have improved life for the people there. Now help your immigrants do the same for Mexico! 🇲🇽

  • Peach farmers in B.C.'s Okanagan optimistic for 2025 after years of climate disaster
  • I recognize climate change, but if you grow fruit for a living anywhere in Canada, you are definitely going to experience some baaaad climatic conditions occasionally. If you have survived this industry for 25 years, has there truly been a “disaster”? The Okanagan valley is a Canadian micro climate, one of the very few places where fruit trees can survive the winter. But to characterize a few incidents of crop damage as a “disaster” is not unbiased journalism.

  • Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base
  • I’m way past making a living in tech, and so far (5 months) my MacBook is delivering a very satisfactory user experience. I’m not thrilled with the “radical” changes coming to MacOs, but I don’t have that much invested in the current version to fret over it. So far the biggest controversy about the new OS is how the finder icon swapped colours. I can live with that! I considered and tried some Linux distros over the past few years, but there was too much intervention required by me, the user. The “Total Recall” vibe of Windows 11 pushed me over the line.

  • What are some Useful Search Terms / Keywords?
  • Yes, Microsoft forum “experts”, are all about cycling through the update, uninstall, reboot, install, contact OEM. And the most frequent comment on solutions: “That does not address the user’s question.”

  • It won’t really matter how difficult it is to replace a battery if no manufacturer has enough spares to meet demand. Is that going to be legislated? There’s a hundred ways to make replacement inconvenient or impossible.
