The latest environmental threat comes from Big Tech, which has come knocking with proposals for more than 40 data centres throughout the province. But Alberta does not have a great track record of standing up to corporations with harmful pitches, writes @adriennetanner.bsky.social.

The B.C. heat wave of summer 2021 brought what may’ve been the province’s worst five days in history, starting with the silent death of 619 Metro Vancouver residents and ending with the destruction of #Lytton, one of our most historic communities, writes Geoff Meggs.

“I see our frontline workers leading the charge to prevent and respond to gender-based violence. But they are struggling, and the system needs to change,” writes Elder Susan Tatoosh.

Terrorism investigations involving Canadian minors are on the rise. Experts say the path to radicalization starts with "benign" content and ends in violent extremist networks. With charges up 500%, is Canada doing enough to protect youth online?

Reform Ltd demand all migrants to England speak English But it seems no-one at Reform Wales speaks Welsh! 'The list Reform has sent out has all English place names, which are neither direct translations of the Welsh names, or the current Senedd constituencies' www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politic...

As the NDP is set to elect a new leader, we dig into where the party is in the minds of Canadians with some new polling and a look at some historical Abacus polling. The big number: only 34% would consider voting NDP today. A decade ago, it was closer to 50%. abacusdata.ca/the-polling...

Idk #uspoli #cdnpoli all the religious sects involved in the Israel-US-Iran war are death cults based in misogyny. Might not be a bad thing to let them tear each other apart in this demonic inspired war. They each believe it's their common God speaking to them when it could well be a Trickster.

The California Governor’s office jokingly tweeted at Kalshi and Polymarket, asking about the odds of Newsom banning California officials from betting on predictive markets.

On this day in 1912, a Jewish woman was born in Berlin. Living in France, she was deported from Drancy and on the 2 Sep 1942 to Auschwitz where she was murdered on 12 Oct 1942. Her name was Irenka Jacobi Please support @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

Doesn't it piss you off to know that people with less are sharing what little they have while people with more pretend there isn't enough to go around so they couldn't possibly donate to people who have gone without food for days? I dunno. Expecting poorer people to hold the line pisses me off...

My daughter, her boyfriend’s mom, and I went to a workshop called “cake therapy for slightly unhinged women” and we decorated cakes. This is mine, which got a bit squished on the drive home.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Hide the ketchup.

Nigel Farage is pretending his non appearances on the BBC is because he’s upset with them. We all know he doesn’t want to answer awkward questions about Russian money, his support for this illegal war and his councils increasing council tax when they said they wouldn’t?

Also the CEO of the company that was found guilty of one of the largest Medicare and Medicaid frauds. You have have to appreciate the infinite stupidity of magats when they try to accuse others of the things they are guilty of and don't realize it.

More than 1,500 mathematicians are demanding that their field’s most prestigious meeting be moved from the U.S.

The Rothschild raid just got bigger. French prosecutors say diplomat Fabrice Aidan transferred UN Security Council briefings to Epstein. Epstein had access to classified international intelligence. This is no longer about money. This is about state secrets

A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.

When viewing world news (that they want to you see), keep in mind... The ones suffering are the working classes and the comunities like yours and mine. The millionaires and political classes are the ones invoking pain and we are the ones suffering. Don't let them or yourself forget this.

FACT OF THE DAY. 26 March 1953. In a huge medical breakthrough, US medical researcher Dr Jonas Salk announced that he had created the first polio vaccine. Polio cases fell from 58,000 per year in 1952 to 6,000 by 1958. Salk’s vaccine was replaced by a new one developed by Albert Sabin in 1962.

if i had a child and $55k to spend on tuition every year you can bet i'm not sending my kid to an ai school this is so incredibly dumb

NO KINGS at MN Capitol, the FLAGSHIP LOCATION! After what ICE did to us, BE THERE!!!

“That just doesn’t make sense to me — when the richest people have the smallest effective tax rate, that does not seem like a very fair system.” #LiftTheCap

Heck to the heck yes.

Such a shame this came in too late for my kids. They could have really done with it because it caused real problems for them and their generation. These problems are only just coming to light and are costly and painful to fix. Untethered tech? Not a good thing. www.bbc.com/news/article...

NATO has been a good ally all along. He just hasn't figure out how to grift money from then yet, so he's angry.

A reminder. Every person in camo and guns patrolling in American cities are voluntarily there. No one is forcing them. They signed up for it, signed a contract and knew exactly what they were getting into. They are not good people.

Perhaps there's a silver lining to the current war. The US has been living off Hollywood-fuelled exceptionalism since WWII - "Go, go, USA", "America is Number 1", etc. - but thanks to a failed reality TV star, its citizens are now catching a glimpse of reality: the American dream is not universal.

Today is the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire: 148 workers killed, most of them young Jewish immigrant women. Survivors like Pauline Newman fought for child labor protections. The @forward.com asks what it means that those protections are eroding again. forward.com/opinion/8095...

#uspoli still thinking there will be midterm elections in US?

#cdnpoli #uspoli Anthropomorphism creates confusion. Nations do not have friends. Nations have interests which their govt's will protect. US chose to threaten the interests of other nations. "Allies" now recognizing the US will always present a danger if left in its present configuration.

Canada is ready to lead this effort. The Defence, Security and Resilience Bank will provide low-cost financing for critical defence projects in participating countries. By pooling credit strength, we’ll build our military capacity and create good jobs across our defence sectors.

LA Schools are OFFICIALLY cutting ties with anyone helping ICE. 🛡️ No more contracts for companies enabling mass detentions. This is how you resist! ✊ Details here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-los...
