“Restore merit, end DEI” says man who could only get elected in Canada’s safest Conservative stronghold

Pierre Poilievre says he wants to “restore merit.” He needed to be handed arguably the safest, most impossible to lose conservative seat in all of Canada after losing his own seat.

Seems like the opposite of merit. #Poilievre

(oh, and he still refuses to complete a check for a security clearance)

Most Canadian newspapers are owned by Postmedia — a company controlled by U.S. hedge funds.

CBC is one of the few truly Canadian voices left in our media.

A meme that says "live your life in such a way that if the escalator stops, you don't assume it's because people hate you."

🙌

That is true. I forgot entirely how close the election is.

oh god I didn't even think of that :-o

Buh bye, academia dot edu

how the fuck can anyone turn a blind eye Israel’s intentions when their Defense Minister just continues to say psychotic shit?!

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Couldn't really have said it better myself. Wtaf.

You guys see where this is going? Right?

Good. No one should have to work for free and it boggles my mind this even exists.

N: Pyramiden, Svalbard
S: Queenstown, New Zealand
W: Fairbanks, Alaska
E: Suva, Fiji

They should all receive massive fines and banned from flights. Such incredible stupidity.

It's actually pretty staggering how stupid Danielle Smith is.

Still 12:04am for us, but it’s changing fast!

1. It was something I had been thinking about for many years
2. Opportunity for a buy-out to fund the transition & go back to school for a year.
3. Lived with my sister & her family
I don't regret the move, but I have since moved on again. The opportunity for that one was just there, so I grabbed it

Absolutely! Looking forward to seeing the results of the next steps!

Notably, 12,000 year old landforms are not offset across the fault, which implies that it may be at a relatively late stage of an interseismic period, having accrued a slip deficit of ~6 m. From this, we estimate that ruptures of at least magnitude 7.5 are possible in the future.

The paper I've been waiting for! Trying to find seismic hazard information for this region has been challenging at best, and I've been unsuccessful in finding something that describes risk. Seems worth it now to continue with earthquake insurance on the house (even if it is 20% of my premium).

The one thing that every Canadian knows - if you are confronted by ICE you don't ever slam on the brakes.
You put both hands on the wheel and drive right over ICE.
True. North. Strong. Free.

More lightning-caused fires dot NWT landscape NWT Fire reported a string of new wildfires caused by lightning on Sunday, including one 40 km north of Inuvik. None pose an immediate threat to communities.

Can confirm that it’s been pretty darn awful here in Dawson

Honestly what is international law anymore?

Fingers crossed! Looks like we just need to get through the next few days and then perhaps a bit of relief. And also we need these storms to not be accompanied by lightning 🤞

A little bit more than I’d prefer if I’m being honest.

Wildfire smoke in the distance

And here we are a few hours later with some new fires popping up around town.
