The demolition of Edmonton's Coliseum, which has been closed since 2017, will not begin for at least two more years due to the extensive planning and hazardous material removal required. The City has allocated $35 million for demolition, in addition to the $9 million spent on maintaining the building. The Coliseum, once home to the Edmonton Oilers, will be replaced by a mixed-use urban village as part of long-term plans for the area. The new development is expected to take 25-30 years to complete.

Their New Social Media Ban Means Every Canadian Must Show Government ID To Access Their Accounts

Here's what it actually means — every Canadian will be forced to show government approved ID to access their social media accounts. Your real name. Attached to every account. Given directly to the platforms.
And when you connect that to Bill C-22 which forces telecoms to retain your metadata without a warrant, Bill C-9 which criminalizes hate speech, Bill C-8 which gives the government the power to cut your internet access, and the soon to be retabled Bill C-63 — you start to see the full picture.
This isn't about protecting your kids. It's about building the infrastructure to control what every Canadian can say online.
I did a full breakdown of exactly how these four bills work together and what it means for every Canadian.
