Canada is not actually 'battling for survival' in the context of secession, because in both Alberta and Quebec secession has relatively small amounts of public support. What we're battling is dipshit far-right populist politicians enabling/pushing for this destructive bullshit.

A Bluenoser is the traditional nickname for a person who lives in Nova Scotia. What may have started as an insult, instead became a badge of honour over time. It is a term now known nationwide, but where did it come from? This is the story. 📸 Nova Scotia Facebook Page 🧵 1/6

The Hockey Sweater is one of the most famous books in Canadian history. The story of a boy who received the wrong hockey sweater from Eaton's has been featured on our currency, gone to space, and been turned into an iconic NFB short. This is the story. 🧵 1/12

On this day in 1962, Alouette 1 was launched. It was the first Canadian satellite, and the first satellite not constructed by the USA or Soviet Union. Launched to investigate the ionosphere, the mission lasted for 10 years but the satellite will remain in orbit for 1000 years.

I thought I knew the story of the "lost world" off the east coast of Britain, inhabited by Mesolithic people until rising sea waters engulfed it around 8,000 years ago... But I didn't know about the *tsunami*. Holy hell. 1/

Looking at the stars we see things as they were. There’s even a short delay between light leaving the person in front of you and reaching your eye. This is just as true for X-rays and gravitational waves. We see everything as it was and nothing as it is. Every story the Universe tells is a history.

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
A digital illustration based on a photo of Lori Winston, the June 1964 Playboy Playmate of the Month. The drawing is rendered in heavy pencil outlines and flat planes of color with colored pencil hatching. Lori is shown reclining by the low steps of a swimming pool, leaning back propped up with her arms behind her. One leg is bent and the other fully extended out for the leg enjoyers. She's turning her head toward the camera with a coquetteish tilt and smile. Her auburn hair is gathered up on her head in a distinctly 1960s way. She is wearing a white t-shirt that covers her down to the top of her thighs and no evidence of any other articles altho you could show this to your grandma and she wouldn't blink. Very chaste. In the bottom right corner under one of Ms. Winston's hands is some orange marker-style script lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

There’s no justification for shooting at any religious temple anywhere. It’s called terrorism. My cartoon in the Sept 23, 2026: www.thespec.com/opinion/edit...
An editorial cartoon from The Hamilton Spectator by cartoonist Graeme MacKay addresses antisemitism in Canada. In the top left corner, a newspaper headline reads, "News: Another Synagogue Shooting." The central focus is a large, vibrant red and orange maple leaf, a symbol of Canada, which a bright green caterpillar is eating through. The caterpillar has the word "ANTISEMITISM" written down its body in large, bold yellow capital letters, and the path it has chewed out through the center of the leaf forms a large swastika shape with black, jagged bite marks along the edges.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.
