It's the Taylor Farms lettuce. The Taylor Farms outbreak. Earthbound Organics is Taylor Farms.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

DRAPEAU ROUGE 🚩 Mark Carney vient de nommer une ancienne dirigeante de Shell comme consule générale à NY. Avec la nomination de Susannah Pierce, le premier ministre du Canada fait payer aux contribuables la campagne de relations publiques du lobby pétrolier. Et c’est même pas subtil!

Ce n'est pas «le gouvernement Carney» qui finance ce projet, les oléoducs et autres subventions à l'industrie pétrolière. C'est nous. C'est nous qui finançons l'apocalypse de nos enfants.

I think my most anti car as a car person take is that most anti car infrastructure should just brick your vehicle. Like I'm sorry, but if you try to cut into a bike lane on a straight road it shouldn't be a stick that bends out of the way, it should be a solid post that makes the car dump it's guts.

You know things are not going well when there's an illustration of a man in a gas mask next to the AQI.

And now Carney is blaming Trudeau for the current climate situation (as he cuts Trudeau's plan even further). Why not just blame Biden? Wow.

Genuinely losing my mind watching Carney's announcement today. Canada is burning, our prime minister says we can't afford climate action, and today he ANNOUNCES MORE DEFENCE SPENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put another way, the entire adult userbase is going to have to upload their IDs to sketchy third-party companies and link their identities to their online activity to stop a few dozen kids from accessing a platform that is mainly left-leaning news and commentary. What problem is this solving?

Imaginez un monde ou on investirait autant en environnement que ce que l'on dépense en défense en ce moment.

2 milliards pour moins de 200 véhicules. C'est le budget total consacré à la recherche scientifique au Canada par année.

Mark Carney's made deep cuts to Natural Resources Canada that strip away science-based expertise on forest fires, "decimating capacity" to track wildfire activity. Only one forest pathologist now monitors the entire forestry system east of the Rockies. 5/ www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/05/n...

Carney's trying a new rhetorical move where he says he wants to know what you're for rather than what you're against and it's like okay I'm *for* normal skies, breathable air, and a habitable planet. Your move Mr. Prime Minister.

The fact that Carney is posting this today shows that he genuinely doesn't give a single solitary shit about the climate crisis that is BURNING SWATHS OF CANADA AS WE SPEAK

My Spanish prof is Colombian so of course I root against Argentina

In case you were wondering what Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines, is doing today as wildfires rage across the province, he's complaining about the heat while making a pipeline announcement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eplp...

"Fond" memories of beating my head against a wall trying to explain to the conservation NGO I worked for that GenAI was *not* something useful to the cause and would actively damage both their work and their brand.

Yeah, I grew up in Northern Ontario too (the Soo) and I don't remember this ever happening in all the years I spent there. To claim it's normal is delusional and to accept it as the new normal is criminal. Does the whole damn country have to burn down around us before people wake up?

Thinking about how most of the country is covered in wildfire smoke, much of Eastern Canada is under a heat dome, Toronto has the worst air quality in the world this morning, and federal and provincial politicians want to spew out more carbon for the sake of a few fossil fuel and AI companies.

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

People do not buy ebikes because they are happy to spend thousands more than they would on a regular bike. People buy ebikes because they save thousands compared to the car journeys they replace. That is the key distinction that many policy makers the general public miss or don’t understand.

pipeline is moving forward so it’s fine to admit the carbon capture supposed to make it “green” was bullshit the whole time

Someone should get him a BikeShareTO membership and Presto Card. #ONpoli

This isn’t just nitpicking. If you understand the psychology of motivating change, this is contributing to our fundamental failure to take action to save our own future. It needs to be taken seriously. #ClimateAction

Cette pub diffusée en boucle à RDI me fait comprendre que l’IA n’a pas inventé le bouton à 4 trous…

Can Vancouver’s pedestrianized Granville Street have a vibrant day-life and night-life AFTER our hosting of local #WorldCup games has ended? On a game-day, absolutely! Our last local match was a week ago, but today’s/tonight’s crowds were New Orleans levels! Our new “centre ice” for EVERY sport?

Great job 👏

"Carney said he's optimistic the pipeline will get done and that polling across the country shows it has majority support. "I'm feeling pretty good about it now," Carney said." nationalnewswatch.com/2026/07/12/i...

I remember when Carney was first elected, everyone was saying he's only passifying Smith, there is no takers for the pipeline, never happen. Well, here we are today, Carney had every intention on going ahead with the pipeline with our money. Carney support has gone quite silent.

Does replacing parking with bike-lanes hurt restaurant business? Of course not, as this new peer-reviewed STUDY of 15 years of Montreal data showed. ACTUALLY, downtown experienced significant restaurant growth after bike lanes were installed. @momentummag.bsky.social momentummag.com/do-bike-lane...

Carney calling Lindsey Graham a defender of democracy and freedom when the man made jokes on his official X account about taking over Canada is just the last straw of many last straws for me.

I wonder if it is now a universal Canadian experience to hear the call of a loon at the cottage and scream … STUPID CANADIAN WOLF BIRD. Anyway, I’m at the lake for a few days with the wolf birds.

At @chanface.bsky.social's Church St pedestrianization yesterday, as a former open streets director, I saw: folk leaning into patios to chat w someone familiar. With bags from local stores. Space for more art, 🎶, culture. 🐕, canes, walkers, 👩‍🦼. All unobstructed vs squished onto sidewalks for racing 🚙

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

Les orientations #carbrain de SMF via @info.radio-canada.ca La Ville de Montréal retourne à la table à dessin pour le réaménagement de la rue Berri. Un contrat de 65 millions a déjà été octroyé, mais la facture pourrait augmenter. L'échéance des travaux déjà entamés pourrait être repoussée à 2028

The fact is Mark Carney bold-face lied to Canadian voters about who he was and whose interests he was going to represent if elected PM. And now, 1+ year on, he's trying to gaslight us and say that the world's changed since then. It hasn't. It's very much like it was in April 2025. Only worse.

Especially since Mark Carney's Liberals did not gain a majority government by promising to make Canada a fossil fuel energy superpower or by a pledge to work with Alberta separatists to keep them happy and content.

Marché public!!! Et cidre Urubu. #Québec

Je suis moins en ligne ces jours-ci (c'est les vacances), mais je voulais quand même saluer Marc Messier. Au-delà de La Petite Vie, les Boys et Lance et compte, il y avait aussi Les Voisins, parmi mes préférés: Merci pour tout Marc Messier ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcVA...

Certains l'ont remarqué: j'aime le soccer/football. Je ne suis clairement pas seul: c'est de loin le sport organisé le plus pratiqué au Québec: en 2025, on comptait 172 000 joueurs inscrits auprès de Soccer Québec, le double du hockey.

The real problem is that the world has moved so far to the (extreme) right that someone with a research agenda and moral convictions, which were seen as mainstream until quite recently, is now seen as radical. The world is in deep, deep trouble.

Today, I declined another invitation to present my research at a fantastic American University because it is not safe to travel to the US for people like me. And mind you, I'm a pretty bourgeois professor.

Look again! 🤨 We have wildlife photographer Andreas Kay to thank for this video of the 'feather mimic moth caterpillar' in the rainforests of Ecuador. Protective mimicry is common in this family of moths, but this is an uncommonly exceptional job. 🪶😀 (📷: Andreas Kay)
