In case anyone needs a recap:
Presidential candidate calling for people to second amendment their politics into reality for almost a decade. Someone took them up on that suggestion.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith — who once told former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson she wished he would put a federal cabinet minister in his "crosshairs" — called on "progressive" politicians to temper their language Monday after former U.S. president Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt.
Out of the many repost of this story since Friday this is most wild claim I've seen. It's on r/Canada level of ignorance.

I've also never seen something with that many citation on Wikipedia.
Missed rent payments could soon damage your credit score — and tenants’ advocates are very concerned
Credit bureaus are testing the inclusion of rent payments in credit scores, saying it’s a positive move launched by Ottawa.
Translation: The 2 private companies that monopolize peoples credit ratings says they're very happy that the federal government pushed even more business and influence their way.
For anyone wondering. If you wish to make a complaint, contact your provincial or territorial consumer affairs office. The federal government doesn’t regulate credit bureaus.
This truly sounds pathetic. Although it clearly displays the real power hierarchy.
In February, the House of Commons' committee that studies food prices urged Loblaw and Walmart to sign on to the grocery code of conduct, or risk having it made law. Both organizations have said they will not sign the code as currently drafted, saying it could raise prices for Canadians.
The article heavily leans on Ontario and what doesn't work.
If anyone wondering how things are going for a province the adopted a payment system less focused on volume.
700 more family physicians in B.C. since payment revamp: doctors
It's amazing that a 7 billion dollar company goes to court to fight someone for $800. Aside from obviously being in the wrong.
...awarding $650.88 in damages for negligent misrepresentation.

B.C.’s Housing Minister, Ravi Kahlon, told Global News Monday that this couple’s landlord should “give himself a head shake” but he is in a legal position to do this.
“I mean, this is the challenge that we have with sometimes landlords and tenants. Most landlords are good people and they operate in a good, transparent way. But this is a situation in which reminds us that we need to continue to find ways to strengthen the rules to ensure that the tenants are protected when they move into new places,” Kahlon said.
I really don't understand why people keep perpetuating the belief that vast majority of landlord are anything but for profit investors and society should treat them as such.
This loophole has existed and been used unfairly for a long time now I really don't understand why they haven't amended the RTA to at least cap the extra occupancy increase and exempt a reasonable amount of children.
For those that don't know she was mayor of a town of 1,500 people. Generally places of this size aren't paying someone enough for it to be a full time job.
This article has a good chart for BC with population and mayor's salaries.

"Hodgins says he was offered a C$2,000 flight voucher by the airline, but said compensation would not “fix the problem” of how the airline failed its disabled passengers."
Given how much this seems to be happening I'd be for fining any airline that does this 100k. Half for the victims and half for disability advocacy groups.

As someone who believes:
A) Housing investors collectively have made incredibly large amounts of money at cost of other Canadians.
B) Essentially every single level of government has done little to aid in housing/infrastructure developments. If not outright block them.
C) Given the other 2 issues aren't dealt with immigration is the only thing that can completely pivot overnight but we've only increased it.
I think the biggest issues is that in the last election 80% of voters seemed to think more of the same was okay. To be clear I'm talking about the people who voted for a party who's housing minister said that investor is helping the situation or the party's leader said the same or people who couldn't even be bothered to vote.
