I use cetaphil and 3 out of 4 of my products all have a “made in Canada” label. The fourth is from the USA. So it’s worth checking the label before purchasing.

Ooh, somehow I missed this comment! Excited to hear that it’s being considered!

I think that says AL(as in Albert, alphonzo, etc)

I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s A.I.

Edit: nevermind I didn’t scroll down to the end where there is a disclaimer about A.I. usage.

So you’re right after all,my apologies.

I noticed that too. So gross.

Elizabeth May’s laugh of incredulity mixed with actual amusement in the background is hilarious.

No worries! ☺️

Good to know, thank you!

I do have a pixelfed.ca account already!

Fair and valid.

Definitely not new, but a good reminder that we can’t get complacent just because the businesses seem to be doing something in our favour.

That was a fun read! Thanks for sharing. I especially liked this part:

Speaking of social media, you advocate for practising “corporeal” or embodied politics. That could mean attending a march in-person or voting with paper ballots, all of which is bad news for keyboard warriors. How online are you?

I see social media as kind of a grim necessity—that it’s basically evil and life is elsewhere. I post, but I don’t read comments. I don’t know what my Twitter password is. If you stay offline, it’s like treading water: you may not be improving yourself, but at least you’re not sinking. I want to remember that social media is a different, non-human realm that’s calling out to us all the time, but that we don’t necessarily have to listen to it.

Like Gollum with the ring.

That’s a funny analogy because a lot of people in the tech world are big Tolkien fans. In addition to controlling our attention, like the ring does with Frodo and Bilbo and Gollum, it’s also turning us from that nice Sméagol character into that Gollum character. I dare you to print this.

I gotta learn that lesson.

Loblaws labelled 35 per cent of all products online as Prepared in Canada.

…

“[Prepared in Canada] is not a really rigorous standard to meet,” he said.

Unlike a Product of Canada, which means virtually all (98 per cent) of its major ingredients, processing and the labour used to make the food product must be Canadian, there is no similar threshold for items labelled as Prepared in Canada

Marketplace shared its findings with experts who say grocery stores are trying to capitalize on the country’s wave of patriotism, noting that a vague definition of what makes a product Canadian is in the best interest of retailers, not shoppers.

Basically, it seems like we cannot trust the business to do anything in our best interest. We have to continue to do the work. Hopefully The CFIA will create a more rigorous standard for labelling in the near future.

Super cute design, and so much better than the multitude of AI beavers I’ve seen floating around.

Maybe his constituents are secretly trees?

Thanks Moe, I’m sure we’ll see all the “inflationary costs” drop significantly on April 1st, right?

Right??

What does Moe gain from these moves? He’s not being elected in the upcoming elections. Is it just to “Own the Libs”?

Ooh, Burn!

**Tried to share a gif, didn’t work.

Can we call on Andy Serkis to Narrate this please.

Turning Red was written-directed by a Canadian and set in Canada, so it’s at least Canadian adjacent.

I had no idea A Christmas Story was Canadian, but makes sense it would be.

I’ve only seen 5/51. Guess I’m going to have to start watching some movies!

I know I’ve seen at least a couple of these available on CBC Gem, if anyone else needs to catch up on these!

We also have to take into consideration who is paying the media… Postmedia, which publishes many Canadian papers, is owned by US hedge fund Chatham Asset Management, known for close ties to the Republican party.
