Of all the politicians Navatek’s CEO courted, Susan Collins was its most important patron. The senator’s office steered federal contracts worth millions toward the company while her campaign was pumping its CEO and his network for donations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

What if the Halifax truckers did a walk or run for the Special Olympics, and took all that money they just burned up on diesel and added it to the fundraising pile? Added bonus, I don’t get trapped in my neighbourhood listening to endless honking for several hours.

Listen: I don’t want to minimize the danger of high e-bike speeds. But if the problem here is that stores sell e-bikes that can drive faster than legal limits, then where’s the story about how literally *every car dealership has been doing the same thing for decades*?!?

A new hidden camera investigation by Marketplace shows how some stores are selling e-scooters and e-bikes with top speeds much higher than provincial speed limits and with recommended rider ages young...

Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

The “Cornell 7” framing rubs me the same way described in this thread. We usually use that language for people falsely accused of crimes. Personally, I’ll be going back to “the Cornell gang rapists.”

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day.
The statue "Good Defeats Evil" outside the United Nations building. It depicts Saint George slaying a dragon made of nuclear missiles. St. George strides atop a horse and drives a blade into the heart of a two-headed dragon. Its body is composed of US and Soviet missile parts. It was sculpted by a Georgian-Russian sculptor. On Stanislav Petrov Day, we remember how close we came to slipping on the knife's edge. All nuclear missiles must be abolished and we must never forgive the men who made them.
