I use Canada Post to ship out my prints. Its crucial for my business. Canada Post staff are fantastic when I go in to ship stuff out. Corner store depots are a NIGHTMARE for small businesses. Try going in with 30 packages while people are buying lotto. UPS and Fed Ex triple my costs.

Good read here.
Solar panels are cheap today everywhere because Germany's government created a 100,000-solar-roof program to build a pro-renewable constituency, creating the political capital for the wider subsidies that made the German industry boom and then get exported to China and made cheap

My driver's license comes in the mail. My health card comes in the mail. My notifications about mammograms and other imaging come by mail! Some of my income comes by mail. What if we just, I dunno, used TAXES to pay for this SERVICE?

The muralist whose art is a conversation with nature
Cole Swanson turns to rocks, dirt and lichen to make murals that highlight what often goes unnoticed.
“Painting the wall brought attention to it,” says Swanson. “It got people to ask questions and to marvel over the incredible beauty of this micro universe, which we often don’t even notice.”

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI
Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

corporations fund guys like Kirk to not only spread bullshit, but to keep the plebs fighting amongst themselves, making informed consensus and reform harder to come by.
I enjoy when writers center on this fact.

A Vancouver Island marmot, Joey to be specific, confidently bleps our photographer Adam Taylor. Joey shares his white nose and chest patch chocolate coloured fur and joy of blepping with other Vancouver Island marmots.
New life goal: to be blepped by the world’s rarest mammals. First up – the Vancouver Island marmot. A photo essay.

Our cars tend to show both and many of us have driven in the States so I'd say lots of us are somewhat bilingual in that way, though personally I have to think about it a bit

as a Canadian I was perturbed when I discovered Brits use miles. Their idiosyncratic imperial/metric hodgepodge is quite distinct from ours! Though we are all on board with Celsius

Except this savings flows to the 90%, while the 10% and especially the super-rich will take a tremendous hit in stranded assets.
In other words, climate change is a class war.

Russian dissidents in ICE custody warn of deportation back to Russia unless Canada intervenes
ICE has already sent at least 80 people back to Russia this summer. Activists say a third mass-deportation flight is expected in the coming weeks
Russian dissidents denied asylum in the U.S. fear deportation back into the arms of Putin’s security services - unless Canada intervenes.
“I hope that Canada will accept us, because all the world is going crazy and I hope that Canada won’t be.”

An #ElectricVehicle mandate helps create a more affordable future for Canadians.
Requiring automakers to supply more EVs drives down costs through scale, ensures greater consumer choice and provides the policy certainty needed for industry to invest in tech & infrastructure. 1/3

How To Prepare For A Smokier Future - Chatelaine
Forest fires aren’t going away anytime soon. Here’s how to protect yourself and your family from the harmful effects of wildfire smoke.
"In short: You really don’t want to be breathing wildfire smoke if you can avoid it. And that goes double if you’re in a high-risk group, which includes the very young, seniors and people who spend a lot of time outdoors, those who are pregnant..."

A new film shines a spotlight on the white-tailed eagle
Thanks to 50 years of dedicated effort, the UK’s largest bird of prey is a rewilding success story.
Dedicated groups and individuals have been working hard for 50 years to reintroduce the species – a successful endeavour resulting in a current status of more than 200 breeding pairs in Scotland alone.
