The full name of the department is Environment and Climate Change Canada. It is often shortened to Environment Canada which was its former name. It is indeed an entity.

Quebec is always bipolar. Yes, the PQ is in which is disappointing but Quebec has always been a bit bipolar. Carney is the most popular politician in the province and only about 30% of the population are pro-separation. I live here and wouldn’t trade our unique, lively culture for anywhere else.

October is LGBTQ+ History Month. The month celebrates the achievements, history and civil rights movements of the LGBTQ+ community. Today, it is the story of Gaëtan Dugas.
LGBTQ+ History Month poster highlighting an early AIDS case: left shows Gaetan Dugas standing by a lakeshore; right panel says: 
"Gaëtan Dugas was an Air Canada flight attendant who contracted AIDS in the early-1980s.
He worked closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to identify his sexual partners by providing names and addresses. His help confirmed that AIDS was an infectious agent. Despite his efforts to help scientists understand the disease, he was falsely labelled Patient Zero and vilified in Randy Shilts’ 1987 book And the Band Played On. It is only recently that his legacy been re-examined."

If anything, AI removes/destroys human agency. It is inhumane in the strongest literal sense.

The protective display that the father put on is magnificent. The steel nerves of the rescuer also impressive. Keep calm and swan on.

The USA doesn’t need anything from the rest of the world! Tariffs are great! They don’t make prices rise and eliminate jobs that require inputs from elsewhere! The USA is the hottest economy in the world! 🤣🤣🤣 it is being burnt to the ground

The hypocrisy of accusing the Secretary of State of handing over motor registration data to private vendors when Elon Musk scraped everyone’s information held by the government.

Canada announced a major LNG expansion this week so this may have prompted the White House lie and exaggeration.

Thank you for sharing. There it is…the plan all laid out. Mike Johnson took forever to seat a Democrat last year I believe. Perhaps testing the boundaries?

Me as well, watching. However, actually doing it requires a level of focus that can take some busy minds to a comforting place, or “zone” as often described.
