Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

This is what happens when you combine political will with a commitment to keeping your citizens alive. So, so simple.

"We're going to have the best failed state, you won't believe how much this state is going to fail. Big, strong men, come up to me with tears in their eyes, saying, 'Sir, they said it couldn't be done, but you've done the biggest state failure in human history."

Release the kraken!!

Staff who like to party: The inside story of this ‘luxury’ Muskoka addiction rehab “Our unwavering priority has been the well-being of our clients and their loved ones as they navigate mental health challenges including substance use disorders,” Muskoka Recovery told the Star.

This is an extremely disturbing look into a private "addictions rehab," Muskoka Recovery, charging people $30-150,000 for stays while being run by individuals impersonating medical and mental health professionals, and dangerously allowing clients to withdraw without appropriate medical support. /1

#ldnont Planning and Environment Committee just voted to generate hundreds of millions $ in speculative land value. It went beyond provincial policy and staff's recommendation in terms of how much land on London's outskirts to convert to development.

Does the public understand what this costs?

European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

Consent in advance is bad.
Don’t do it.

Homeless encampments buried in snow, city hall’s response falling short The absence of a Winter Response to Homelessness this year means more Londoners endured this week’s snowstorm in tents and make-shift shelters.
