Where does Canada actually stand on truth and reconciliation? Former special interlocutor Kimberly Murray speaks with Sean Carleton and Niigaan Sinclair about government funding shifts, systemic delays, and the rising tide of denialism: ow.ly/Pzby50ZSWJk

The near-total eradication of millions of buffalo wasn’t accidental. As early conservationist William Temple Hornaday noted in 1889, the annihilation was part of a federal strategy to force Indigenous nations onto reservations. thewalrus.ca/wild-buffalo-make-a-co…

Canadians deserve a voice in our country's direction -- and no matter what the CEO of Canada Inc. believes, our voice wasn't a one-and-done in a polling booth on April 28, 2025. #GiftLink 🎁 #CdnPoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

Carney has been keen to grab the lectern and discuss lofty issues — from Canada’s place in the world to the nature of global co-operation itself — at international forums such as the World Economic Forum and the European Parliament. But rather than merely address global policymakers and CEOs, he should talk to Canadians about these issues, too. Because the world can’t be changed by one man operating the machinery of one government: change comes from whole populations acting in common purpose.

From Michael Pollen's book on consciousness: "A World Appears." Exactly this 😆 It's curious we haven't seen more discourse around this related to AI obsession among bros. It's the new Pygmalion.

When I told her about Mark Solms’s effort to build a conscious AI and Kingson Man’s blueprint for a robot with feelings, she rolled her eyes. “Why don’t they just make a baby?” she said. “We already know how to do that!”
