As someone who once co-authored two books in support of nuclear energy: this is likely the kiss of death to nuclear power.
It is a risky long term investment that is uniquely dependent on social acceptance. An incompetent, very unpopular government slashing safety rules leads to a reaction.
At a point if there's nowhere to return alcohol containers in Ontario you gotta wonder why we're paying for the deposit anymore.

If you’re not getting things done and are exhausted all the time lately it’s the fascism. It’s trying to eat at us all. Take time away from the horrors. Touch grass. read a book. Do anything but sit and try to take it all in. It is meant to overwhelm you.
You know what happens if instead of this leniency, Hitler and the Nazis were shot dead for Treason in 1924? No Hitler and no Nazi Party.
Shift work, particularly overnight shifts, are well known to be unhealthy. I will say though that I was quite happy to work last night, and in so doing I was able to completely avoid the big speech from our unfriendly neighbour to the south.

And yet the Ford government will take over multiple school boards on the premise that they have mismanaged their finances.
The Epstein Files ought to comprise the easiest political case against the billionaire class ever conceived. Any politician who supports policies favouring the ultra-wealthy should never be able to escape this association.
I wonder what it's like being a CIA guy in a bar in rural Alberta and running into your FSB counterpart who's doing the exact same work
ICE shouldn't be allowed to retreat to some safer zone. There is no appropriate place for them. Every ICE employee should be charged with crimes against humanity, same for every member of the Trump administration. Nothing else is good enough. "ICE out" means "out of existence."
Guys, Liberal Currents is literally the best political publication going in the US - it breaks from smug value-free centrism and understands the need for relentless opposition to MAGA while announcing its unyielding support for the core values of liberal democracy. It is the future - help it grow
Yikes. I hope that you feel better soon.
Bye bye Bo,
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

And how close it feels on Jan. 1
Just to prove that ...
The first spring training game of 2026 is 7 weeks from today!
Feel warmer yet?
