“…thermal images captured by Floodlight – and analyzed by multiple experts – show more than a dozen unpermitted turbines still spewing pollutants at the plant nearly two weeks after the EPA’s recent ruling.”

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

University of New Brunswick is encouraging researchers to 1) use AI despite the error rates, ecological costs and connection to Trump’s donor base and 2) they are full welcoming ‘first drafts’ of work generated by LLMs- which is academic dishonesty.

The overwhelming majority of mass shooting perpetrators in Canada are white and Christian.

Every Canadian should be lobbying their elected reps to ensure that we are opting out of Palantir and other US tech that puts sovereignty and privacy at risk

Manitoba still faces challenge in curbing measles a year into outbreak: community health prof. Since February 2025, there have been 371 confirmed and 32 probable measles cases reported. The province had no measles cases in 2024. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... via @cbcnews.ca

Shocking statistic of the day. Since the start of Trump Admin, 10,000+ PhDs in STEM and health fields working for USG have left. That is 14% of all STEM and health PhDs in the entire Federal government. www.science.org/content/arti...

When you build an unprecedented amount of renewable energy but it gets used to meet new data centre demand instead of replacing fossil fuels

These cuts are absolutely criminal. The grotesque wealth inequality that characterizes our global relations must end.

Not one trans person in the released Epstein files, except for those who were victims.

Canada's oil and gas industry is a fiscal time bomb due to oil well cleanup liabilities that have been kept off the books. @chrishatch.bsky.social writes www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/30/o...

Thinking of colleagues at NSCAD and adult survivors of CSA who might be reeling from the arrest of a local prof for digital child abuse material at the same time Epstein is all over the news again. Avalon Sexual Assault Centre has free supportive services for survivors in NS. Don’t suffer alone.

Boycott AI if you can. OpenAI (chatGPT) is Trump’s biggest donor in 2026. The results you get using AI are not neutral. Trump is buying algorithms. Censorship is deeply embedded in the rollout of this mediocre tech- no different than Meta or TikTok. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I think we need to have more respect & care when we share visual content from the Epstein files. Yes- reveal the abusers.. But how might it feel for survivors and their families for their unconscious bodies to be littered across our feeds as we scroll? Can we do this another way? She is a person.

You know why this pisses me off, why did former PM Mulroney (Conservative) allow the sale of our Canadian salt mine (the largest in the world) in 1990 to an American company? This is one of many reasons Cons should never be allowed power, they sell off our assets. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

“For those of you already in ICE and CBP, take your retirement while you still can. Get out before the funding cuts, before the lawsuits, the criminal trials. Do not volunteer..." “Think about your future. Think about your family’s future. Forever is a long time. The people will not forget.”

Filmore called the cost of re-building the Forum ‘absurd’… But there’s a huge cost to letting it crumble. The social benefits of the arena, event spaces, farmer’s market, bingo hall—> the Forum PAYS in physical & mental health benefits for the whole city.

Academic researchers (including grad students): did you know that your campus administrators may have access to your full hard drive (including research data), placing you in violation of the TCPS and whatever data access & mgmt plan was approved by your REB?

#AcademicSky The Canadian academic publishing company Thomson Reuters has US$31 million worth of contracts with ICE. Now is the time to remove or retract any published pieces you have with them. Contact your campus library for assistance with this. And maybe also stop using their services.

“I’m really mad so thank you for letting me vent. Abolish ICE. We keep us safe.” @seandoolittle.bsky.social and other athletes opened up to us about the DHS murders and the campaign of state terror being waged in Minneapolis and beyond. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

So the BC based Jim Pattison Group is planning to lease a building to DHS/ICE in Vancouver. We need to get out there and hammer them with our concerns.

They are still in Minnesota and now they are spraying tear gas at a preschool. What does it say about a nation when so many descend to such depravity so easily?

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this? This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

Ok so I can’t find my old thread about vintage Body Shop scents (and the memories they bring back for GenXers) — but if you feel sad about the world, Body Shop brought dewberry back so you can walk to the mall and sniff yourself back to another era…

This is a key consultation and there is only a week left. If you haven't read the excellent work by @kevinguyan.bsky.social on how abuse of data standards is used to exclude us from public life, it's at doi.org/10.1080/0958... Please respond if you're able and get others to do so if you can.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

I want to share this quote from PolicyAlternatives.ca for folks who are relieved that they live on this side of the US border- “Every data center is a US military base” We are vulnerable to US violence in every facet of our digital lives & US companies are building data centers in the Maritimes

I live just across the border in St. Stephen, and have also heard ICE is in Calais, though haven't been down by the river myself today.
