Too many of our journalists don't see the connections between these chaotic forces: there's a direct line from Hamas and Hezbollah to Iran, then to Russia, & with further connections out to China, North Korea + assorted African and S American dictatorships. It's one war.

We are live! Canadian Future Party is launched.

Hey, didn’t you get the CPC memo? You’re supposed to be ignoring the new party!

Sooo ridiculouuus!

@TeamYouTube Please review the recent hacking of @joeblogs which has been replaced by a crypto scam. Many people appreciate its content from before the hack. Thank you.

The paper clips in my house are used more to reset things than attach them.

Consistent with my post yesterday, the Bill C-18 regulations are stacked against small, independent and digital-first media outlets. This was a major issue during the hearings and @PascaleStOnge_ just brought it right back.

@FinchWestLRT Can you tell us yet why you're using that Circle-T logo (same as Boston's @MBTA) instead of the @TTChelps or even @Metrolinx ones? That's sure to confuse riders.

[Evan Leibovitch @el56]

#isitok that the Economist says political satire is on the decline? Are our three guys comedy's last leg?

I had to repeatedly re-read CRTC Bill C-18 plan to believe it. Prospect of no negotiation until 2025, no approved deals until 2026, and blocked news links for years. Multiple own-goals for Canadians, media outlets, and Canada’s digital policy reputation.

“Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge said Facebook should come to the table and discuss the legislation, which is not yet in force.”
My post on why this talking point is so deceptive since there isn’t much left to discuss.

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

Consequences of Bill C-18 were predictable and a deliberate choice. Government could have mandated contributions without invoking links, limited scope to exclude small and foreign sites from blocking or exempted some links. Instead it repeatedly cut off debate and ignored risks.

Coming talk by #RockyLinux at the Greater Toronto Linux User Group (#GTALUG) September meeting has been months in planning.
Recent events may render it more interesting than expected.
Online and free; all are welcomed.

@pkakiba @FinchWestLRT But Metrolinix is handing over ownership of Finch West to the TTC once it's completed. So this is a wasted effort.
And if they're going to use a different logo ... why outright copy Boston?

[Evan Leibovitch @el56]

@mgeist @quaid_jennifer @KeldonB Maybe, while at the Competition Bureau, we can also have a frank talk about media ownership concentration.

[Evan Leibovitch @el56]

@FinchWestLRT Great meeting Mark there!

[Evan Leibovitch @el56]

Now at @el56.bsky.social
Many thanks to my Bluesky invite provider.
See you there! (eventually...)
