I am glad she has been found. Ten years, though. Considering where she was found, a decent search would have found her sooner.

I think it's ill-advised and anti-democratic to introduce an omnibus bill, cite a crisis, and rush major changes to labour and environmental law. It's going to provoke aggressive resistance and risks, ironically, slowing down the projects the government is so keen on. It's going to be a huge mess.

If Pierre Poilievre was PM and was pulling this shit Liberal MPs would be on their feet screaming bloody murder. And what was that Beaverton headline? "Conservative Learns How to Get Elected. Run as a Liberal!"

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Today @cdndrsformedicare.bsky.social sent a letter to PM Mark Carney about Alberta's plan to undermine health care. "Canadians deserve reforms that strengthen Medicare, not policies that erode it through profitization ..." www.canadiandoctorsformedicare.ca/alberta_bill... #cdnhealth #cdnpoli
An open letter from Canadian Doctors for Medicare to Prime Minister Mark Carney: "Dear Prime Minister,
We are writing again, with far greater urgency, regarding Alberta's Health Statutes Amendment Act,
2025 (No. 2). Since our last letter sent to you on March 3, 2026, this legislation has moved from having
become law to increasingly entrenched policy.
Every week of federal inaction allows dual practice, extra-billing, user-charges, and private-payment
infrastructure to become further embedded in Alberta's health system. What could once have been
reversed with a policy correction will soon require dismantling a functioning private pay market, a far
harder and more disruptive task. We urge your government to act now."
