Another day of air quality alerts in Michigan. 

It's time for Canada to fundamentally reform the policies, practices, and technologies that have allowed this crisis to repeat.

In June, Michigan congressman John James bragged about rolling back emissions-reduction legislation.

In August, he's big mad about wildfire smoke.

a husky named Shelby rests on a red towel in the back seat of a car. her face white with a halo of light brown fur. her left rear leg is bandaged in bright pink, and a purple bandage is on her right front paw. her eyes, one blue and one brown, look towards the camera.

Shelby the husky looks at the camera. her white and brown face are circled by a big, plastic cone. she rests on colorful blankets as a person gives her back a pet.

This is Shelby. She was found as a stray with kneecaps that slid both directions. Without surgery, she would have faced paralysis within just a few years. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover her surgery. She has since fully healed and found a forever home ❤️‍🩹

EJ Antoni is a hack who apparently doesn't know how to read a chart.

@mchinn.bsky.social, a respected economist who co-authors the widely praised Econbrowser blog, recently asked "what's this guy smoking?" in response to EJ's claim that the Trump economy was soaring.

Can Canadian telecom competition be saved with fewer competitors? The regulatory model designed to foster new competitors, more consumer choice and lower prices has enjoyed modest success, at best

Last night, the gov't announced it was leaving in place the CRTC wholesale fibre access decision. Coincidentally, today the Globe runs my opinion piece on the issue, which argues maximizing competition regardless of provider should be the guiding principle.

💥 Kristi Noem Just Got Dragged by South Park 💥

They’re back! South Park didn’t just take a jab — they annihilated her.
Kristi Noem’s “tough” image got the full South Park treatment… and I’m here for it.

ICE facility visit? Check. DHS video propaganda? Check. Gun-toting? Check. Dog story? Check.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

What Are My Rights During an ICE Raid? Immigration law can be tricky, but here's what you should know.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️

As @kibblesmith.com has repeatedly pointed out, we are in an era of “Sure I Was Proven Factually Wrong But Maybe I’m Right In Spirit.”

And the only way we end this phase of life is derisive shame delivered face to face. The 80s were right: bullying works, especially with jocks.
