Unfortunately, it’s not a right that Canada extends to First Nations and Indigenous folks from the US, this is because the Jay Treaty was signed between the GB and the US and as such Canadian courts have held that it was not implemented into Canadian law.

The whole chain depresses me; while I can understand Dr Ho’s cynicism the original post is misinformed. I’ve wasted 15 minutes considering it and the futility of responding; it’s time for me to delete the app for awhile.

I've been reporting on federal politics since 2008. My entire career I've listened to politicians talk about using carbon capture to cut industrial emissions. Carbon capture removed 68 million tonnes over a 24-year period. The oilsands added much more, 92 million tonnes, over a single year, 2024.

It’s okay not to register it, as long as you don’t get caught. I’ve heard this from travellers who I presume know what they are talking about.

“make a list of public programs that have directly benefitted me. Those are good.Now let’s make a list of public programs that benefit other people. Those are bad. That’s what small government means, after all:the consolidation of wealth and power in the hands of those who already have those things”

New details on Gordie Howe Bridge deal confirmed, following confusion caused by Mark Carney remarks
The money the Canadian government is sharing with the U.S. represents the “net revenue” generated by bridge activity after operating costs have been paid, a federal source has clarified.

Well, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories

Doctorow has been arguing for this for a year, and while I don't agree with everything Doctorow says, this one is a very simple win. If you've ever thought about right to repair, this is step one to getting it back.

James Doohan wasn’t just Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, he wasa Canadian who served his country and landed on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Then he turned to acting, was trained by Lorne Greene and even helped develop the Klingon language. This is his story. 📸 NBC 🧵 1/12
James Doohan as Scotty sits at a control console aboard the USS Enterprise, wearing a red Starfleet uniform with a black collar and a delta insignia on his chest. He leans slightly forward with one hand resting on the console, his dark hair neatly combed to the side. Behind him are colorful control panels and futuristic set walls characteristic of the original Star Trek series bridge.

I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

My favorite way to put this, as someone who studied Classical History in actual college (not just on Twitter): If you told an ancient Roman or Athenian that his culture had "more in common" with a German or Briton than with an Egyptian or Ethiopian, he'd punch you in the throat.

The fires in Ontario - like so many others - demonstrating viscerally how climate change perpetuates the displacement and dispossession of Indigenous peoples, who have least contributed to emissions and over and over again put their bodies on the line to prevent fossil fuel development.

Heat got you down? Try some light climate reading! Here's a snippet from Very Serious Mark Carney's book Value(s). "Actions speak louder than words. Credible climate policies should cut emissions from day one to reduce the end point in carbon concentrations." (p.296).
