In 2024, I rose in Senate QP to ask why the Govt of Canada was still using X for official communications. Today, they are still there. What exactly will it take to break the spell?

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them. It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

Anybody still pretending that Trump isn’t a direct threat to Canada must be experiencing serious cognitive dissonance right now. He takes what he wants, and has never faced any consequences for his actions. He’s the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man of Privilege and Entitlement and Narcissism.

Hello fellow celiacs! After my recent diagnosis, I treated myself to a kitchenaid stand mixer, and I’m on a mission to make really good gluten free bread. Tonight’s entry: glutenfreeonashoestring.com/gluten-free-...

Very surprising that the president who forced himself on women and girls without facing any consequences thinks he can force himself on countries without facing any consequences.

This is the way. Simple, direct, unambiguous.

Leader of Canadian right endorses the illegal actions of a rapist pedophile war monger invading a sovereign country

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

Universities too - I just wrote our comms office @unbc.bsky.social this morning about this!

It's well past time for Canadian government officials to get off of X, @jameswsthomson.com writes. This latest — disgusting — incident is just one more reason.

Someone is not terribly impressed.

Why not

Paging anyone considering an additional bitumen pipeline through the mountains of British Columbia.

Tis the season ❄️

If we don’t call it out and withdraw support, we are complicit.

Grades submitted. Students killed it this term in their 4th year and graduate papers and projects. I didn’t see any AI slop - could be a biased sample, but telling them you want to hear their distinct and unique voices on the page may help.

Not only will it not do much to offset carbon emissions, it will also use excessive amounts of water! 💧

This wouldn't just be a national tragedy but a global one. Just mind-boggling vandalism.

This so predictable and so stupid. They destroy what they don’t understand.

A second levee broke south of Seattle last night as our relentless parade of atmospheric rivers continues. Thinking of the John Holdren quote that we have three options: mitigation, adaptation or suffering. The third is growing ever more apparent as progress lags on one and two.

Central Interior Chinook alert! Descending air in the lee of the central Coast Mountains warms up and dries out. High temperature of 9C today is not quite a record for Prince George but is pretty close (we hit 10C on this day in 2018).

I shouldn’t have to share this article as much as I do. Sending condolences to all friends and family and loved ones from the Brown Shooting today. www.newsweek.com/2025/07/18/f...

Hearing the news of a campus shooter in the US, and how faculty map out exits, carry tourniquets and wound packings, and teach on campuses where weapons are allowed …. and it is *literally* unfathomable to me. Beyond fucked.

For researchers thinking about conferences next year, Canada is hosting plenty across many research disciplines. We will not ask for your social media history for the past 5 years or a DNA sample and do not have ICE agents.

Heaviest precipitation totals (from ECWMF forecast) over the next 48 hours look like they will be centred over the central coast. #bcstorm (dataviz from weathernerds.org)

The headline is great, but kudos to whoever is casting these villains in the UCP

This is the dumbest type of politics. Pointless, cynical, just pure peacockery. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Saturday, December 6th is Canada's National Day of Action and Remembrance on Violence against Women. It commemorates the '89 Montreal Massacre where 14 women were targeted & killed for daring to study engineering. Attend your local vigil & come learn community care with me zoom.us/webinar/regi...

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

How is CBC not on BlueSky?

Can someone please get this in front of Carney's eyeballs? Canada needs to invest in renewables and batteries, not build new oil pipelines and weaken industrial emission regulations.

Like any technological transition, it is slow at first until it is overwhelmingly detrimental to try and maintain the status quo.

Canada’s top political leaders are climate deniers. There’s no such thing as “decarbonized” oil and no environmentally conscious way to increase fossil fuel production. Mark Carney and his government are sacrificing the climate and baking in worse natural disasters in the hope of short-term profit.

One thought about the proposed new bitumen pipeline: avoiding the worst impacts of climate change isn't a partisan issue. It is in **everyone's** best interest (esp. future generations) to diversify the energy supply and focus on renewables. Fossil fuels are a dead end in so many ways.

Canada just signed a deal with Alberta to build a bitumen pipeline through northern BC. ICYMI: My recent explainer for @thetyee.ca about BC's 50-year history of opposing oil transportation through the region — and the massive battle these governments just signed up for. thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

Feds want us to believe another oil pipeline is in Canadians’ interest??

Final presentations from students in GEOG 450/650 (and an independent study) are happening next Tuesday (Dec 02) at 12:30 in the GIS lab at UNBC. We are opening this up to everyone, so come on out and see the possibilities of #geospatial analysis with #python! @unbcgeographyensc.bsky.social

IMHO Carney has underestimated how badly a pipeline deal with Smith will go over, especially here in BC. I’m old enough to remember the RCMP staking out Northern Gateway pipeline opposition meetings. Source: CBC share.google/IUMyN8h6r7yx...
