Original Tweet from @Mantia: What’s something that seems obvious within your profession, but the general public seems to misunderstand?

Quote tweet from @hwitteman: That $35 that scientific journals charge you to read a paper goes 100% to the publisher, 0% to the authors. If you just email us to ask for our papers, we are allowed to send them to you for free, and we will be genuinely delighted to do so.

It was very kind of Paul Wells to give me some space on his Substack to air a few of my frustrations with the coverage (including his!) of Pierre Poilievre's argument about LNG and federal policy. #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/paulwell...

After US forces attacked Venezuela and took Maduro, Trump made it clear he is willing to do the same to other countries in American orbit that don’t fall in line. How worried should Canada be? Dr. Janice Stein joins. 🔊 on SXM Canada Talks & podcast platforms at noon EST.

Facts are fantastic:
Tweet by J Hunter @MrJoKeR604 responding to tweet by Pierre Poilievre:

Pierre hasn't learned his rage-farming lesson from his election loss.
- the LOAN is to BC Ferries to modernize their fleet
- there were no Canadian bids on the new fleet
- half of the loan goes to upgrade the
electrification infrastructure & terminal upgrades


Tweet by Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre:

The Liberal government's Infrastructure Bank just handed $1B of your tax dollars to a Chinese state-owned company.
No jobs for Canadians.
No benefit to our economy.
Just more borrowed money leaving the country.

It’ll cost taxpayers around $1M or so, to hold a byelection in #BattleRiverCrowfoot, so that taxpayers can continue to fund Poilievre’s lifestyle in a taxpayer paid mansion, chauffeur, cook, as well as his LOO salary. In addition to PP bilking taxpayers millions/yr to campaign for himself nonstop.

2) Growth measures (cont'd) on corp taxes: - reaffirmed accelerated depreciation renewal from December's FES. I'm glad then-Minister Freeland pushed for this in FES. Glad Mr. Carney continuing it. In my view this is biggest tax 'bang for buck' tax measure on the table, and I'm glad to see it.

Incredibly, in his abrupt reversal on trade policy, Trump seemingly just *increased* tariffs on Mexico and Canada to 10%. Until today, the U.S. has only had 25% tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminium, and autos, plus 10% on energy and potash. (With the caveat that it's 0% for USMCA-compliant trade.)
Just to recap following Bessent's briefing to reporters here at the White House:
- Tariffs on China increased to 125%
- 90 day pause on reciprocal tariffs amid negotiations
- Tariff level brought down to a universal 10%
- Canada and Mexico are part of the 10%
- Pause won't impact sectoral tariffs, which are coming soon (pharma, lumber, etc)

🇨🇦 Because apparently it's not common knowledge: You don't need a voter card, or be registered in advance to vote in a federal election. Find out where your poll is at elections.ca , come with some ID (there's options), and you can vote. It's really that easy.

What I noticed watching Poilievre today. He smiled a lot more, when he usually smirks. So a more positive stance He repeated his favourite phrases. He failed utterly when asked why he hasn’t got a security clearance. The latter matters to me a lot

Mosquito Monument (Komarno): Unveiled in October 1986, the statue honours the early settlers who battled swarms of mosquitos to settle in the area. The community's name also refers to mosquitos in Ukrainian. OFF! also filmed an ad at the monument.
This image features a large sculpture of a mosquito, mounted on a stone pedestal with plaques. The sculpture is situated outdoors, likely in a park or public space, given the surrounding trees and open area. The exaggerated size of the mosquito suggests it might be a whimsical or humorous installation, possibly designed to draw attention to the local environment or wildlife. The plaques on the pedestal could provide information about the sculpture, its purpose, or the area's history with mosquitoes.

I'm sharing an image a day to celebrate the vibrant and unique culture and history of Canada. Today, it is the World's Largest Pysanka in Vegreville, flanked by RCMP Officers. #ProudlyCanadian 📸Ernie's Photo Studio
The color photo shows a large, egg-shaped sculpture with a geometric pattern in black, yellow, white, and brown, mounted on a pedestal in an open grassy field under a blue sky with scattered clouds. The sculpture, known as the "Big Egg," is a prominent landmark. In the foreground, four members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), dressed in red uniforms and wide-brimmed hats, stand in a line, adding a ceremonial presence.

The buildings of the European Commission and the European Council are illuminated in blue and yellow, the colours of the Ukrainian flag. Between them, the street, an EU flag and a Ukrainian flag are visible. It is otherwise dark.
