Alberta government doesn't think an impact assessment is needed for Kevin O'Leary's monster data centre even though it will use about 24 million cubic meters of water annually — roughly 460,000 people's lifetime consumption. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/03/n...

Alberta First Nations issue cease and desist order against Danielle Smith's attempt to create a national unity crisis. Alberta is on treaty lands. Those treaties were signed 30 years before Alberta became a province.

This is a kind and moving tribute that all Canadians should read— to feel good about our country, but also to understand, thoroughly and viscerally, that Ukrainians fight and resist above all for the sake of dignity, freedom, and democracy.

The dark, ugly subtext of the Pete Hegseth fiasco is that Trump/MAGA want Hegseth there because they seem him as their guy to carry out MAGA imperialist designs and domestic crackdowns if/when Trump orders them. @juliettekayyem.bsky.social is good on this here: newrepublic.com/article/1942...

Protest changes the permission structure. It says fascists will not be allowed to proceed unencumbered. And if you didn't think there was anything to be done, a protest shows you many think otherwise.

It seems ICE had a quota for Venezuelan gang members & filled it by picking up people with tattoos. Rose, hummingbird, soccer, mother, Autism awareness. For that people are taken from their families & sent to spend the rest of their lives in horrifying conditions. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos

The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

In case anyone was wondering why the government was so heavily invested in scientific research (pre-DOGE) here is a clear explanation from one of the workers on the chopping block:

A Reddit post by user Throwawayainteasy: I get exhausted trying to explain this stuff to people who fundamentally don't understand pure scientific research.

It's mostly not profitable, at least in the short-term. Some of the most important scientific breakthroughs are things that we won't really understand the value of until 10-20 years from now or more. Possibly generations.

That's just the nature of science. It can even be true for the seemingly mundane stuff. In the 60s someone gets curious how flies can get around so well with such tiny brains, that answer turns into new understandings, those understandings merge with new computing, and in the 2020s we have autonomous drones and self driving cars who's existence is rooted all the way back to someone's unheralded research that started because they thought bugs were neat.

No for-profit company would fund the first 20 steps in that process, because there's no clear path to profitability until the end. That's why governments across the world are the primary funders of pure research.
