Alberta is the richest province in the country — except where it really counts How does the province with the highest fiscal capacity in the country also have the lowest per-capita funding for students in its public schools? Because it wants it that way

Alberta is the wealthiest province in Confederation, but you'd never know that by looking at the way it funds its public schools and their students. At some point, voters might want to think about what that says — and means — @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.

There is such a thing as 'settled science' — anyone who says otherwise is trying to manipulate you How bad-faith arguments sow doubt by weaponizing scientific humility.

“Science is never settled” sounds reasonable—but it’s often a rhetorical trick to undermine consensus on issues like vaccines or climate change.
Science evolves, but some things are overwhelmingly supported by evidence.

Inside one Conservative MP’s ‘Restore the North’ tour, a Canadian take on Charlie Kirk’s movement | CBC News By asking how to 'restore the North,' Conservative MP Jamil Jivani hopes to expand Charlie Kirk's U.S. campus tour movement — and ignite a national conversation here in Canada.

The Conservatives have launched their Charlie Kirk imitation tour.
In a fluff piece, CBC casually mentions that it it supported by youth from a group demanding the forcible deportation of millions from Canada.
CBC presents it as "counter culture."
No.
That's hate.
