“If the govt were looking to... gerrymander districts... this new, hastily designed process undercuts [public consultation] and puts the decisions in the hands of partisan appointees in a way that we have not seen in Canada since the 1940s.”

I'm distressed by the hypocrisy of caring so much for one whale while we are generally driving them all to extinction but I don't think people putting their attention and care here is misplaced
Vandoorne and Fox et al #CNN remind us what investigative journalism is for. They list symptoms of having been drugged and give good advice to get a blood test as soon as possible if you suspect it has happened to you. This should be part of every Sex Ed curriculum www.cnn.com/interactive/... #sexed
Thanks for this. The pattern of soothing/solving while undermining reminded me of Nietzsche's critique of priests as those who deliver the poison along with the "cure"
Cool, thanks! Why is there a link to a product in your reply?
I wonder if they ever cared whether users liked it or not. Putting it up in front could be a sneaky way to build it more comprehensively into their processing of our data while causing less of a public stir. What's that recently trending phrase, "the purpose of a system is what it does"?
Yes. This. #canpoli

Condolences again to the Filipino-Canadian community and to all Canadians on this difficult anniversary
#ForeverCanadian is pushing for our right to have our positive question on staying in #Canada be asked in any #Alberta referendum. Just say no to separation.

Want to believe your farts smell like roses? There's an app for that.
Research, especially "background research" should not be placed on the other side of that red line. Original research is how we get original thinking, and that's what we need people making important decisions to do
Moreover, almost every person interviewed described handing "research" over to it. This will have a profound effect--not only on what sources get used, but also on the capacities of decision-makers for original research, and so original thought
Hope every Ottawan who voted for Sutcliffe over McKenney reads this article: how do you like your traffic lately? #Ottawa
What do they call the copilot that uses all your private data for profit?
This is taking us back to the days when news was text or drawn images. We need to rediscover what standards of veracity we used to use then
This is the guy Canadians are supposed to suspend environmental protections for to build "data sovereignty"? MAGA puppet #canpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/03/n...
Close up of a white and brown rabbit bunny standing in a grassy field. The European Parliament logo is in the bottom left corner. The text reads: Bunny, you seem happier! It's because soon I can hide chocolate eggs without worrying about detergents being tested on me!
No more testing on animals.
Europeans asked and the Parliament listened. Revised rules on EU framework on detergents and surfactants ban animal testing.

Yikes and here I thought they just wanted to know when to sell me chocolate. I'm sorry so many freedoms have been lost. Thanks for the reminder that some of them we've given away.
Gee I wonder why anyone would try to avoid an environmental assessment for a data centre in a valley that declared an agricultural disaster due to drought last summer...
Thanks for this. What do you mean by charged?
Proud of the federal NDP, who chose the issues that matter over playing at politics. As for all the nay-sayers, The Beaverton said it best: www.thebeaverton.com/2026/03/edit...
They're trying to limit initial public consultation to a mere 14 days! #canpoli #environment #BC

On April 1, 1999, Nunavut was created.
The largest and northernmost territory of Canada, it has many symbols that reflect the history, people, wildlife and culture of the landscape.
This is the story behind those symbols.

Surveillance is a one-way ratchet toward authoritarianism. Yes, even by private companies. Even when people “consent.” Even when the company gives you “free” stuff, or let you stand in a shorter line, or make your life more convenient somehow.
After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations.
She accepted three.
One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history.
