Cannot overstate the harm from this: news sector loses hundreds of millions, Canadians face degraded search results, and prominence of low-quality sources increase. Blame squarely on Pablo Rodriguez who did not take risks of flawed Bill C-18 seriously. x.com/mgeist/status/…

The Bill C-18 effect: Canada now a global example of a disastrous government policy that abandoned principles of an open Internet, failed to take the risks of its policy seriously, and left everyone to pay a severe price. mgeist.substack.com/p/a-massive-ow…

We don't have tidewater ports but we can improve our airports. This project will create new cargo and logistics services, provide new travel options, get more products to market, and help attract new jobs and investments in Alberta. canada.constructconnect.com/joc/news/infra…

Instead of being a competitive and attractive place to come voluntarily we have a desperate PM on twitter.

This is what Instagram looks like for millions of Canadians right now. Is this what life is like living in a dictatorship? Access to news is completely blocked on Instagram.

My post on Meta now blocking news on its platforms in Canada. Despite assurances from the industry it was just a bluff, this outcome was predictable and will result in enormous losses. The government’s empty tough talk can’t mask its epic miscalculation. michaelgeist.ca/2023/08/metabl…

Its ok to call this an eyesore... because it is...

Innocent until proven guilty and all that but I hope Hockey Canada finishes their investigation soon because this seems awkward... NHL EA SPORTS NHL coloradohockeynow.com/2023/03/28/cal…

Worst case of #Nimby ever. The daycare kids are fortunate they won't be surrounded by these selfish people ~45hrs/week.

Big congrats to my former colleague and current friend!

Alberta's offering free camping at provincial sites for NWT wildfire evacuees. A nice (and smart) gesture among the many extended by a province full of communities that know well the anguish and scramble of mass evacuations.

We're literally on the verge of Google pulling access to news likes via web search, and this woman is "pretty positive" about the Online News Act. Unbelievable stupidity. Unbelievable.

We already have a political party at the municipal level in Alberta. The NDP use union money to run left-wing slates in most cities, including forcing out non-preferred candidates to avoid vote splitting (in some cases even offering jobs if people will drop out). #ableg #abpoli

Brutal news that the City of Red Deer (Parody) still has not found a permanent location after all this time. #ableg #RedDeer

A regular non-Christmas reminder to shop local. 1/3 the cost from #EMCO in #RedDeer compared to Amazon Canada

New Year, more federal tax hikes. The feds are making life more expensive and taking more from your paycheque in 2024. Carbon tax UP. Payroll taxes UP. Alcohol taxes UP.
