Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

Embarrassing. They're going to feel so stupid in 10 years when nobody's wearing dead salmon hats anymore.

I can’t believe this is still an issue. Every situation requiring oaths in Canada (from elected officials including this Yukon municipal council but also MPs, lawyers, etc) should have an alternative to having to swear allegiance to the King. It’s 2024 not 1867. Sheesh.

Ottawa to compensate Inuit in Nunavik for mass sled dog slaughter | CBC News Ottawa will offer financial compensation to Inuit in Nunavik for the devastation caused by the mass slaughter of their sled dogs, the Crown-Indigenous relations minister tells CBC News.

It’s good to finally see the federal apology and compensation for the historic slaughter of Inuit sled dogs in Nunavik, following the 2019 apology to Qikiqtani Inuit in Nunavut for sled dog slaughters there. I wish more Canadians knew of this history www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Doug Ford’s war on bike lanes makes streets less safe | The Narwhal Ontario’s proposed Bill 212 steps on the toes of municipalities looking to build bike lanes to make their communities safer and more sustainable

Doug Ford’s attack on bike lanes has impacts beyond Toronto's streets. In smaller cities, like Peterborough, Ont., bike lanes have made roads safer, and downtowns more vibrant spaces to visit — and these efforts could now be in jeopardy. #ONpoli #Ptbo thenarwhal.ca/opinion-onta...
