Welcome to Winnipeg! If you find yourself in the vicinity of Galaxy Comics again, I highly recommend stopping in at Subzero Icecream (nearby on the corner of Jamieson and Brazier) for an eggnog parfait; it's an early taste of Christmas. They make the best parfaits in the city.

It wasn't safe to spend time outside for most of the summer because of wildfire smoke, but sure, let's throw gasoline on the fire.

The architect of Project 2025 has no opinions worth hearing; they've all been clearly laid out in that fascist playbook. There was absolutely nothing to be gained by meeting with him, and doing so gives him credibility he doesn't deserve.

Wow, that's some serious victim blaming there, Mark. Way to side with genocidal war criminals.

Trump supporters = higher levels of psychopathy, manipulativeness, callousness, & narcissism www.psypost.org/trump-suppor...

From study: MAGA "reported elevated malevolent & reduced benevolent dispositions, & less empathy..."

Yes, feels partisan, but fits research on authoritarian trends.

I suspect the media is manufacturing controversy by deliberately taking the bill out of context. Fast-tracking is accomplished by not having to go through the same approval twice for the province and the feds when they have identical standards.

I've read Bill C5, which is posted on the parliamentary website; it states that First Nations must be consulted on all projects, and that Federal regulations are only waived if they are duplicated by the province in question. I'm confused about where this controversy is coming from.

That principal needs to be fired. They have no business being in the education field. When did speaking out against genocide become wrong? Anyone who was 'hurt' by this student's speech needs to check their moral compass.

I have brachiopods I collected from the Forteau Fm in 1995 that I still haven't looked at.

I feel that for-profit journals were the start of all this nonsense. For years I've refused to review papers for Elsevier. They were the first of the academic publishing predators.

Poilievre Stop in Fish Plant Smells | Canadian Journalist Conservative Party of Canada election campaign stop in a fishing village in Newfoundland turns into a spectacle of party animosity towards media coverage.

So, here is an interesting piece to read, which happened in Newfoundland April 1,2025. Brought a bunch of thugs with him.

MAGA MAPLE: THE DESPERATE BID TO ELECT A MINI-ME TRUMP Conservatives Play the Traitor Card

Canadians are coming together to defend our country and democracy.
Conservatives on the other hand are saying vote for Poilievre or they will break up the country.
Playing the traitor card is not a good look for Canada's Mini Me Trump.
Here's my latest:

Is Recruiting American Scientists to Canada Feasible? Spoiler Alert: Nope

Many American scientists are beginning to look elsewhere. Can Canada give them a home?

Common Sense: The Last Refuge of a Scoundrel Few semantic dodges frustrate me as much as appeals to β€œcommon sense.” The term traditionally refers to commonly-held knowledge that needs no explanation.
