Both Carney and Poilievre backed the strikes. The NDP condemned them. If bipartisan support for bombing countries bothers you as much as it bothers me, contact your MP ourcommons.ca/members and tell them Canada should be a voice for diplomacy, not rubber-stamping unauthorized military action.

Saskatchewan used CCS for enhanced oil recovery. You don't have to look too far to see it's dodgy.

Space does not belong to America. Why is it only America that is getting a say in this obviously terrible proposal?

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared...

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.
If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now.

Is there a Bayswater support group but opposite? There must be many more parents who are supportive of their children's transitions.

Agreed. I had zero risk factors (other than being a woman) and got breast cancer at 48.

In some classrooms, teachers ask: Can AI teach students to write better? Coaching from artificial intelligence chatbots, personalized and accessible at any time, is now shaping how some students write.

A big problem here is that we're not defining terms when we have these conversations. What do we want students to learn? How is this process helping with that? /4 www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, Canadian Pediatric Society, American Psychological Association, Japan’s Society of Psychiatry and Neurology, and 27 German medical assocs have all rejected the Cass Review's findings

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

I'm not a climate doomer, because that's what the powerful want. They want people to give up and say "it's too late."

Even if it is too late, I'd still rather the world decarbonize if only to fuck up the fossil fuel companies.

If you refuse to believe in a better future, at least believe in spite.

Literally cannot stress enough that if I, a climate scientist, were running a scam it would be a lot more fun than this

Waiting on my ADHD diagnosis - go referred just before I ws diagnosed with breast cancer. Chemo-induced menopause + aromatase inhibitors is seriously impacting my brain function. And my joints.

So, most of us get rights because of an accident of birth, while others have to earn an I ferior version as privilege despite *choosing* to come here and do jobs that enough of the born-heres won't or can't.

"My software is self-aware and alive. Like a person."
Weird does that not bother you at all

Hart: just imagine a glorious future where all books are AI garbage so readers have no choice but to read them
Hart: also maybe we could make it illegal to say that AI is bad
Hart: just a thought
Hart: i think that would be a great idea

Oh, now Andy is pretending to care? Unlike when the PFRA was ended under the Conservatives, also affecting Indian Head?

(Yes, I am also angry at these AAFC cuts)

I have experienced privatised mail and believe me, you don't want it.

How many YEARS have I been railing against this Food Professor fraud?!

Yet local and national media treat him as an authority, instead of the galoot he is.
