Elections Canada has released this resource with some common bits of false or misleading content about elections on social media: https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=dis&document=index&lang=e

We plan on pinning this resource, and we are proposing the following rules:

  • Posts or comments with inaccurate or misleading information from this list will be removed, and users are encouraged to report them
  • Repeatedly posting such content will result in a ban from the community until April 28 (at a minimum)

So far we haven't noticed any serious issues, but we want to get ahead of anything that might come up

"I'm not Justin Trudeau!" - Pierre Polievre

"Neither am I" - Mark Carney

The 25% of Canadians that are thinking challenged won't win you an election when there's is a functioning adult running.

"I'm just like Trump" won't either.

IN AN UNUSUALLY combative approach, Shopify executives started to openly reject aspects of the Liberal agenda late last year. Chief Operating Officer Kaz Nejatian, President Harley Finkelstein, and then vice president Daniel Debow all took to X with a barrage of posts criticizing federal spending, regulatory overreach, and what was depicted as Canada’s waning global competitiveness. “Canada’s entrepreneurs,” wrote Nejatian, “deserve better than what they are getting from their government.”

Taken together, the furious tagging, quoting, and reposting captured a frustrated tech class convinced that innovation and ambition were being stifled by bureaucracy. The tone was hostile, sometimes dismissive (“My god. Canada what are we doing,” Finkelstein shot back at then prime minister Justin Trudeau, who had announced new regulations on short-term rentals). But the men weren’t just venting. They called for Canada’s start-up culture to step up, urging entrepreneurs to build a new national vision from the ground up. The mood foreshadowed a post–US election moment that elevated private sector success over government expertise.

A massive, 1,700-person work camp paid for by B.C. taxpayers could be headed to the local landfill by the end of the year, a new report warns.

Opened in 2016, and costing $470 million for construction and eight years of operation, the camp includes a movie theatre, gymnasium, fitness centre, cafeteria and 21 three-story dorms, each with about 80 rooms consisting of a bed and bathroom. Google reviews from people who've stayed there note a coffee shop and games room, outdoor fire pit and beer on tap at the bar.

The report said that in total, the camp buildings make up 665,443 square feet along with "concrete slabs, asphalt and steel piles" associated with demolition work scheduled for later this year.
