These former classics barely come into condition during the winter, if at all, and snowy spring storms are just insufficient for hot and dry summers.

The Greater Ranges and Alaska are only delayed to the same fate because of their elevation and latitudes. Alpinists and residents will suffer.

This isn't just a problem with skiing. Alpinism suffers the same problem - as the last of the "low" elevation snow and ice routes come to their last days.

Route in the Rockies like Andromeda's Skyladder and Athabasca's North Face have lost significant amount of ice and snow coverage.

Feb 21 event to stand up for Alberta in Canada. A rally in Lethbridge on Sunday, Feb 22 to sign the people’s petition to remove Neudorf.

👋 Alberta, get up, stand up. Tomorrow and Sunday. Let’s show Smith that she is the constitutional crisis. Canada needs to stand against her destructive and cruel blame game at the expense of the most vulnerable while robbing us of everything we’ve build. #abpoli #yyc #yql

Opinion: France is ditching American tech. When will Canada? Countries around the world are turning to open-sourced or domestic options, but Canada still relies on U.S. tech for critical communication software

“Paris Marx has offered a guide for how people can get off U.S. tech, highlighting the challenges while supporting individual effort. Doing so should be a national ambition, especially as we consider the risk of the U.S. blocking access to tech.”

Thanks to @vassb.bsky.social for the Globe mention!

EBV is implicated in a number of chronic disease like MS. A vaccine for it would have wide ranging benefits that are hard to fathom.

Childhood was a political project, centuries of activism carving out time and space for young people to grow and learn. It's an unfinished project, and the right wing wants it ended when it's barely even begun.
