Yukoners voted for electoral reform. They probably won't get it | CBC News Yukon's incoming premier may have campaigned on a message of "change," but when it comes to the territory's voting system, Currie Dixon says he's happy to keep things just the way they are. That's des...

Not enough people are talking about the actual biggest political story in North America this week.

A majority of voters in the Yukon voted (in a non-binding plebiscite) in favour of moving to a ranked-ballot voting system.

Y'all - now you know us photogs are NOT kidding when we say the Northern Pygmy owls are SO SO SMOL!

Mamdani taunts Trump in his victory speech: "Turn the volume up." Trump replies instantly on social media: "AND SO IT BEGINS!"

Fight. Win.

California Approves New House Maps in a Major Win for Democrats and Newsom

California voters agree to aggressively redraw the state’s congressional districts to wipe out as many as five Republican seats, delivering a major victory for Democrats hoping to wrest control of the House in 2026. @shanegoldmacher.bsky.social Laurel Rosenhall www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/u...

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Lesson to Canadian mayors: you can stand up to premiers. They’ve got the power but you have the people.

This is so cool!

Squirrels, along with many other animals that lack full cheeks to create a strong suction seal, rely on physical principles like the meniscus effect (adhesion & cohesion) & inertia to drink water. They don't lap water in the same way as a dog or cat.

Here, we can see the meniscus effect. #mammals

At the end of the day I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But it is striking to put out a budget that axes a luxury tax on yachts and adds a co-pay for refugee claimants accessing drugs and dental care.

Here's the biggest PSE story you haven't heard yet: the Canada Student Grant for low-income students is being cut from $4200/year to $3000/year as of next August. It's implicit in the budget tables but the government is too chickenshit to actually say so directly.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

On this day in 1926, the Balfour Report was released. It declared that Britain and its Dominions were constitutionally equal. The findings of this report were made law with the Statute of Westminster in 1931. This shift granted Canada further independence from Britain.

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔

Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world.

Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy.

Now go re-sign Bo.

A color-coded map of Canada titled "WINTER TIME ZONES" with subtitle "First Sunday in November to second Sunday in March." Shows six time zones divided by thick colored lines: yellow for Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC-8h) in the west; green for Mountain Standard Time (MST, UTC-7h) in the central-west; light blue for Central Standard Time (CST, UTC-6h) in the central area; pink for Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC-5h) in the east; light purple for Atlantic Standard Time (AST, UTC-4h) in the Maritime provinces; and dark purple for Newfoundland Standard Time (NST, UTC-3h30) on Newfoundland island. Clock icons mark each zone with abbreviations and UTC offsets. A small inset clock shows UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Legend indicates solid lines as legislated boundaries and dashed lines as observed but not legislated. Includes note: "**Most of SK in Yukon**" in yellow area, and "**Central Standard Time**" in light blue.

Today marks the end of Daylight Saving Time as many parts of Canada turned the clocks back one hour.
Did you know the first place in the world to enact DST was Port Arthur, ON (Thunder Bay), or that Newfoundland once tried "double daylight saving"?
This is the story.

Vladimir Guerrero, by the way, had one of the greatest post-seasons. He was incredible

This person is a hero

Ernie Clement now owns the all-time MLB record for most hits in a single postseason, with 30.

"Ernie! Ernie! Ernie!" rains down as the Dodgers make a pitching change.

The #BlueJays' breakout star of the 2025 World Series run.

Nobody wants this more than Vladdy.

Superstar defensive play

The most important defensive play of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s life gets the #BlueJays out of an inning that could have been much, much worse.

The bullpen door needs to swing open for the 5th.

Gold Glove Defence 😤 #WANTITALL

THAT'S BASEBALL JUSTICE
