NEW from me: I took a deep dive for @ricochetmedia.bsky.social into the American hedge fund-owned Canadian newspaper chain that’s pushing anti-trans, pro-genocide and climate science denial narratives down our throats. ricochet.media/media/dumpst...

Some great reporting from @kehyslop.bsky.social out in @thetyee.ca today!

Free newsletter: Despite stories about gigawatts of capacity coming online, I've found that the vast majority of announced data centers have yet to be built, with many running far behind schedule. I now believe NVIDIA is warehousing at least a million GPUs. www.wheresyoured.at/where-are-al...

I’m so late on this lol but I can’t believe it’s going to be OTTAWA and MONTREAL in the PWHL finals. I have my moments of Ottawa hate (growing up and being a teen in Ottawa will do that) but man I’m about to be insufferable.

Front Burner’s Jayme Poisson interviews tech ethicist Tristan Harris. This is a really interesting episode, attempting to get to the core of why there is so much investment in AI, and the concept of the anti-human future. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/f...

Given the Federal Government’s 2025-26 budgetary spending ($486.9 billion according the summary of estimates on the govt of Canada’s website) why was this a necessary cut? Without the new copay, the program costs $1.1 billion a year, a fraction of the budget www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

You need to read this horrifying and astonishing account of the genocidal murders in El Fasher in October 2025. These killings could have been stopped: unfortunately, the world did nothing and actively looked away.

Felipe De La Hoz asks a crucial question: “why do we need more?” about social media conspiracies surrounding Epstein, ICE detention centers and more.

One morning, Shay Paul opened Facebook and was shocked to see every group she was part of was awash in what she called residential school denialism. An investigation into the connections between academics and think tanks sowing doubt in historical truths. Emily Enns reports. #canpoli

So so worrying. AP’s Matthew Lee also states in this story that the revocation program will soon be expanded to parents who owe more than $2,500 in unpaid child support. No matter how you feel about people owing child support, this is despicable. apnews.com/article/pass...

Really crucial read up today by my good friend Aadya Arora on anti-Sikh hate in Canada. Give it a read! newcanadianmedia.ca/most-canadia...

So happy to have this piece up today, though my concern about the CBSA’s process of investigating complaints remains. And how does this organization still not have an independent oversight committee when the RCMP and other similar groups do?

“He was looking for a motive, some type of angle to arrest me or keep me from getting on this flight. That’s exactly how I felt in that moment,” said Brian Keith Leonard Jr. When he said he felt targeted, the officer told him he couldn’t help how Leonard felt. @megvera.bsky.social reports.
