Small businesses deserve to be more than an afterthought. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May has reintroduced her “Think Small First” bill to make sure every new federal law and regulation considers the impact on Canadian small businesses first.

These astronauts are just a balm: impossibly cheery, down to earth, committed, decent. They are clearly extraordinary people, and yet reassuringly normal. At a time when the news is dominated by people who are either cruel or corrupt or insane or incompetent or all of the above, they remind us not all is lost.

Basic income can grow the economies of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba — while ending poverty.

Canada Post moving ahead with end of home delivery They’re “moving ahead” with stopping dead. Henceforth Canada Post will provide one service — parcel delivery — that dozens of other companies do cheaper, faster and better, while refusing to provide another service — home mail delivery — which other companies are statutorily forbidden to provide. Can we please end this farce? Or are we really going to continue to enforce a legal monopoly for Canada Post on a service it no longer performs? thestar.com/business/canada-…

People loved it when Carney called Trump “transformational,” a word with multiple meanings that led the U.S. president to hear only what he wanted to hear. But is that what Carney did to all of us with his Davos speech, too? In light of his support of the Iran bombings, I’d argue yes:

Top Ten dumbest things we're being asked to believe about Iran: 1. That the Iranians want to be bombed 2. That the guy bombing Iran wants peace 3. That regime change interventionism is a swell idea this time 4. That anyone who doesn't want war with Iran hates Jews 5. That this time the government and the media are telling us the truth about an American war 6. That this time the neocons are smart and correct 7. That bombing Iran makes it LESS likely to try to obtain nukes 8. That Iran is trying to assassinate the US president when all US presidents have the same foreign policy 9. That Iran (a country that never starts wars) cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons, but Israel (a country that starts wars constantly) can 10. That attacking Iran benefits Americans

As northern Canada burns, southern Canada makes climate change worse by rushing through Bill 5 in Ontario and its big brother in Ottawa Bill C-5 - both will allow no regulations, special economic zones. Both bills crafted without First Nations input. 1 theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

C5 is being rushed through the Commons. Liberals would be protesting it, if it was a Conservative bill. These projects will take years to build. And cost billions if we don’t get it right. C5 paves the way for corruption and lawsuits. It deserves more than 2 hrs of actual study!

Time to wake up. Our planet, communities and people deserve better. Cutting red tape is not the same as skipping crucial steps. We can and must do better. @ChantalHbert @althiaraj

It's is a national election issue for @CanadianGreens
A new cross-Canada coalition of advocacy organizations is calling for guaranteed basic income to be a national election issue, urging all federal parties to include it in their platforms.

The Green Party is vowing to challenge their removal from the debates. The Leaders’ Debates a commission removed the Greens for failing to meet participation requirements. “Here’s what they forget: when they bulldoze, when they pave, Green always grows,” Pedneault said.
