Advocates say the recent police crackdown on open drug use on Winnipeg streets has driven members of the homeless community into the shadows and will put them at risk during the heatwave this week.

> “I’d separate the tool from the behaviour,” adding that failing to disclose AI assistance when required is misconduct[.] “The ethical issue is the non-disclosure and the intent behind it, not the existence of an editing aid.” Pretty sure both have ethical implications? Hmmm...

An Israeli strike assassinated a Palestinian aid official who organized public screenings of the Egypt vs. Argentina World Cup match in Gaza. 3 other people were killed in the attack, including a taxi driver and 2 children: a 10-year-old and an 8-year-old. This is so messed up.

A photographer spent 18 months watching a pair of Cooper’s hawks and gaining their trust to remain close by. In the process, he captured intimate photos of the hawks hunting, mating and adapting to urban life with their young. See the photos here: thenarwhal.ca/ontario-coop...

Nate Glubish made it clear that the UCP believes that major projects should be funded by the private industry that will be using them and committed to pushing back against projects that don't have a strong business case. The Breakdown stares in Pipeline(s). #abpoli #ableg

A National Post story that exaggerates the abortion issue. The couple sued an Ontario surrogate for allegedly not keeping them informed about the baby's health, putting the baby at risk, causing them emotional distress, and violating confidentiality. The surrogate denies all this and was never paid.

"AI as the engine for fossil fuel growth" is exactly Mark Carney's strategy. He just didn't share it clearly with us. #CdnPoli www.desmog.com/2026/06/11/m...

Alberta is betting its AI future on natural gas-powered data centres. But a global shortage of gas turbines could delay projects, drive up costs and complicate the province’s $100-billion ambitions. @drewanderson.bsky.social explains: thenarwhal.ca/alberta-ai-d...

For years, physicians across Canada have been spending an average of 43 minutes filling medical forms related to the Canada Pension Plan Disability benefit applications. As of Sept. 30, 2026, physicians will be paid $175 to complete the form (up from $85) – the first change of this kind in years.

21 years ago today, Palestinian civil society launched the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, (BDS), a global call for people of conscience and organizations worldwide to enact boycotts, divestment, and sanctions to pressure the Israeli government to comply with international law.

Danielle Smith is gutting public health care & the Liberals are silent. Silence isn’t neutrality. Private healthcare lobbyists are congratulating Carney because he’s giving them what they want. We should strengthen public health care, not watch it be dismantled. www.ndp.ca/news/privati...

The Gaza genocide has prompted people across the U.S., including American Jews, to reconsider their relationship with Israel. The stories of five Jews in Ithaca, NY, illustrate how some are beginning to envision a future without Zionism. mondoweiss.net/2026/05/amer...

It's disturbing how MAGA-like Carney's followers are, believing that he's their saviour and can't/shouldn't be questioned, even while he supports human rights violations and climate annihilation.

Hey Alberta... what happened to the Auditor General Report on Corrupt Care? Does AB have ANY independent bodies monitoring govt anymore? Do we even care anymore???

I will never forget listening to a friend vividly describe a “terrible blind date”. She was describing rape. She was describing forcible penetration without consent. She just wasn’t using the word “rape” or “sexual assault”. She downplayed what happened as a coping tool.

This is Mark Carney's Canada. Is this what you voted for? Stephen Harper must be so jealous that someone else is doing everything that he wanted to do but couldn't.

The American tech company Meta is building an AI data centre in Alberta that will be larger than all of Stanley Park and use almost as much power as the entire city of Edmonton. They are building a new natural gas plant to power it. Is this what Canadians voted for?

Trying to pick apart a woman's text messages to prove she's lying about being raped is gutter behavior. Consent can be revoked at any time and reading insinuations into text messages that the sender denies were there is ACTUAL journalistic malpractice. I would not trust a man who does this!

jfc you could literally just say "my bad" about Platner and it would come off a billion times better than trying to rationalize away any criticism you face. like holy shit I will never respect some of you again because you couldn't even say "whoops" after recommending people vote nazi tat rapist

Ayn Rand fans are automatically losers in my head like as soon as someone says they admire her philosophy I check out of anything else they have to say

All of this, but also please remember that Laura Ingalls Wilder was edited by her daughter Rose Wilder Lane, who is regarded as one of the three mothers of libertarianism and Ayn Rand's besties, and the books have been shaped to reflect her ideology.

This is a thoughtful and important read. When we erase Palestine from our language, our maps, our classrooms, or our public spaces, we don’t move closer to peace. We erase a people, their history, and their humanity. open.substack.com/pub/thomasli...

PM Carney is once again supporting U.S. violence and impunity. Canada can’t control Trump’s chaos. But we can take a clear stand for lives, livelihoods, international law and global stability. New Democrats say: stop the war. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Tetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus. We have forgotten how life was before vaccines. 🧪 archive.today/c6QVx

Rape: I'm feeling pretty disgusted today, & have drafted a longform piece that I'll post when this situation resolves. Until then, I'd like to remind the hypocrites who've been exposed as misogynists by their own words this week that, if a woman does not contact police about a rape when it... 🧵1/3
