Unpopular opinion: I love the DST. This weekend with an extra hour was like a mini holiday. I look forward to the extra hour of light every spring.

People like to give "right" answers. If you ask people the gravitational pull of the earth, they will probably tell you it is 9.81 m/s². But if asked to derive that from personal experience, you will get a quizzical look.

Nice analysis, Laura. Thanks for highlighting the risk that hydro consumers will cross subsidize this project.

Curious if the will now switch to referring to the Papal Territories in lieu of the Vatican.

Thanks for this sad update. Keep up the good work!

When Adam delved and Eve begot, Who was then the AI bot?

80 years ago today, atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Hundreds of thousands of people died. Millions were impacted.

This anniversary must be more than remembrance. It must be a wake-up call. We need global nuclear disarmament.

This must never happen again. Not anywhere, not ever.

Great resource, thanks. One addition (maybe a little niche): for independent music distribution, Landr seems to be a good Canadian alternative to US based services like DistroKid.

Thanks for your advocacy on this!

Opinion: Northern pipeline the wrong nation-building plan Canada and Manitoba must invest in renewable energy and infrastructure to help all Canadians and not greenwash fossil fuel expansion projects as responsible economic development.

"There is an alternative [to pipelines]. Manitoba must prioritize climate mitigation and resilience in its nation-building projects." Read more here from @ccpamb.bsky.social director Molly McCracken #mbpoli #greeneconomy www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

What is the rush? Canada has been evading it's 0.7% GDP foreign aid target since 1970.

When you think about it, it is quite incredible that tens of millions of North Americans are all inescapably breathing in smoke from the same fires in the Prairies. It shows how small and interconnected our world is, how we share the same fate. It’s kind of like the solar eclipse… but bad😭

A wealth tax could raise half a trillion dollars for a stronger, fairer Canada New report on the effects of wealth inequality, the revenue potential of a wealth tax, counter-arguments and an outline of transformative public investments.

In new research, senior economist @1alexhemingway.bsky.social‬ says a wealth tax could raise nearly $.5 Trillion for Canada over 10 years.

It could provide urgently needed public investment in Canada’s physical and social infrastructure, building a more equitable country.

Canada tabled sweeping legislation today to increase border security, incl powers to cancel or suspend immigration docs immediately, and huge crack downs on asylum applications

While Canadians can feel smug about their nationalism in this tarriff-trade war, it's a pretext for anti-migrant control.

Happy Ode to Billie Joe day!

TFSA contribution limit info has been unavailable since mid-April, CRA confirms | CBC News For more than a month, Canadians looking for their remaining contribution room in their tax-free savings accounts (TFSA) on the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website have been out of luck.

CRA penalties on RRSPs and TFSA are punitive attacks on the middle class. But when the system breaks down, CRA tells people, just fill out a "RC343 Worksheet to estimate their TFSA contribution room for the year". Who has time for that? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why can't we get small $7,000 cars in Canada?

Our democracy would be improved if the King of Canada were a one year term student volunteer position. The main duties like reading a throne speech or officiating a street hockey game would be impressive achievements for a 19 year old. It would look great on some kid's resume.

Nice piece. St. Louis sounds a lot like Winnipeg.

I would cast Lassalle as the 1870s Klein.

Graph showing increase in very hot days (+30C) in Winnipeg 1960s to 2080s.

It is 35 degrees in May, in Winnipeg. We could have double this many heat waves in a generation or so.

C'est quoi le manif?

Stark data from @oxfamcanada.bsky.social on the cruel impacts of cuts to US Aid. Country by country - Guatemala, South Sudan, Yeman - the results are devastating.

Never trust the banks

The exceptions in Canada are the Territories and other sparse large northern rural ridings.

Congratulations @leahgazan.bsky.social. Winnipeg Centre will continue to have your powerful voice standing up for our community.

Tired of winning yet?

You and Chantal can disagree on NDP plan for increasing federal health transfers, but I am pretty sure it can be done.

43 thousand voted in Carleton in advance. He may have lost already!
