Keep being asked what I'd like to see now (re: Hockey trial):

- Strict athlete codes of conduct that move beyond legal threshold & include hate & harassment

- Sexual violence prevention training aimed at coaching staff AND parents - not just athletes

- Mandatory bystander intervention training

A shout out to the millions who marched in the United States for democracy and against fascism. Taking back the country is going to be a long and hard struggle but it has begun.
From Canada we say: #elbowsup

She is a truth teller.
CTV is not.

Canada not mentioned in U.S. threat assessment’s summary of fentanyl crisis Intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard testifies ‘most extreme’ fentanyl threat is Mexico, despite Trump linking drug problem to tariff decision

Canada isn't even mentioned in U.S. threat assessment’s summary of #fentanyl crisis, despite Trump's claim that illicit drugs coming through the northern border are “an unusual and extraordinary threat,” by @samedwards.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl... via @theglobeandmail.com

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

How Trump’s ‘51st State’ Canada Talk Came to Be Seen as Deadly Serious (Gift Article) President Trump, in an early February call, challenged the border treaty between the two countries and told Justin Trudeau he didn’t like their shared water agreements.

TLDR: The 51st state talk is not a joke. It is a consistent delivery of threats to Canadian sovereignty at the highest levels of government.

🇨🇦 Canada announces $304 million loan for design of the CANDU Monark, a gigawatt-scale heavy water reactor

This is a fully domestic reactor, which is tariff-proof

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

What I'm reading.
One of these days I will read a book about music or a novel. Now is not that time.

Is Chrystia Freeland really the only Liberal leadership candidate using alt-text on images on social media? Both Karina Gould @karinagould.bsky.social and Mark Carney’s @mark-carney.bsky.social campaigns were asked to use it to be inclusive, but they still are not. #cdnpoli #disability

C-SPAN is now advertising @ianhanomansing.bsky.social’s proposed program on CBC as “CBC News Simulcast of Canada as the 51st State Proposal”. Canada’s sovereignty is being threatened. You can file a complaint with the CBC Ombudsman:

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist.
I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps.
But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation.
Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host.
Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders.
But don't worry it will be done with "care."

I seriously cannot believe how much I cared about that hockey game. I am so relieved that Canada won.

i have an Excel question. does anyone know what formula to use for when you don’t know what to do about anything at all anymore

Now that we are 2+ years into the general public having access to ChatGPT-style systems, are there any credible studies out there exploring how susceptible to LLM-generated mistruths users of these things are?

Do people tend to develop good instincts on whether they should trust their output?

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.
