If this pans out, then we could maybe *start* talking about a revival of labor militancy. Even then, keep in mind that strike levels would be returning to the Reagan era—hardly a high-water mark for labor.

Good that we won’t have even more concentration of ownership. Bad that Postmedia will continue to be crippled by debt. https://t.co/jqmLPdFb9U

This tells you all you need to know about unions and income inequality.

The answer to organized greed is organized labor.

Dunno if everyone knows this, but in Canada, public airwaves belong to all of us.

In exchange for using the airwaves, broadcasters have long been required to provide local news service.

So Bell is asking here to abandon its foundational responsibility to the Canadian public.

Bill C-18 seeks to correct gross imbalance in the current media industry, where tech giants such as Meta (Facebook) and Google draw great profits from the invaluable newsgathering and reporting work Canada’s journalists and media workers produce, without paying a dime.

CMG welcomes new legislation that ensures tech giants contribute their fair share for journalism work they use

If workers are unable to catch errors and correct them due to lack of time & poor pay, AI will continue to spread falsehoods.

"The biggest danger is that they can mislead and sound so good that people will be convinced that AI is correct."

The Alliance commends the Canadian government for passing the Online News Act (C-18) today, which would help Canada’s #freepress prevail by requiring dominant online platforms to provide fair compensation to news publishers for the use of their content. https://t.co/4zOBEG8Hvi

Scoring a major win against the City Council, #Barrie ‘s grassroots campaign vows to continue its fight.
Confronted with an unanticipated, robust awareness campaign and substantial local opposition that ignited widespread national condemnation, City Council caves in.

[Keenan Aylwin @KeenanAylwin]

Good news - our advocacy worked. Barrie City Council has backed down on their cruel by-law proposal for now.

Bad news - they continue to shift the blame from themselves to the orgs and people who support our unhoused neighbours.

We must continue to fight for housing for all.

Name a law that every decent person should absolutely ignore.

Incredible. What are they smoking up in Barrie?
