It has been over 11 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its 93 calls to action. Since then, 14 of them have been completed. That is just 15%. In over a decade. www.indigenouswatchdog.org/2026/09/01/t...

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

Accusing striking staff of 'weaponising students' ignores the extent to which students have ALREADY become nothing but £££ signs for a University management depriving generations of future students of much more than 5 weeks of teaching.

the Heroic Protector Fantasy is rarely of real use to women, it's just wish fulfillment about male posturing and it frequently exacerbates violence it's also much easier to imagine yourself kicking the ass of an obviously villainous stranger than to to actually intervene where you have influence

One hundred percent. This is why my kid is considering going back to Canada for uni. Also, STEM majors should have to take a history and philosophy of science class.

Condemnation is pure hot air if in the next breath you’re telling everyone you’re doing your best to give the fascists what they want, just without the masks

In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.

Can’t strike. Can’t protest. Selling public property to private companies. Removing protections for the environment and endangered species. Cut funding to fighting forest fires and healthcare. Helping AB violate federal laws while they attack trans rights. Boy are we lucky in Canada.

I have seen my neighbour run over his own child's scooter, abandoned in the middle of our small cul-de-sac, easy for all to see. Except the bonnet of his lifted pickup is five feet off the floor, so it was invisible to him, just as a dog, child, or anyone smaller than an average adult would be.

Beyond pet peeve levels - it’s absolutely infuriating to me when economists and non economists refer to the US industrial ag system as efficient: that doesn’t factor in its massive environmental costs, ignores its dependence on subsidies & the distribution of its benefits to the already privileged.

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from

A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

It's just fascinating which stories of alleged academic misconduct merit dozens of stories and which kinda vanish into nothingness, I'm sure the main criterion is an objective evaluation of the story's news value to our education system and not something else.
