5 yrs after the start of the worst health crisis in memory, there is a national conversation waiting to be had about the roles of the individual, society and the state in such a crisis. What is my responsibility to myself and to my community, and what is the responsibility of the state towards us?

If you’re trying to whitewash your record of inside dealings, remember to use solid hide whitewash, not completely transparent.

More from the same interview. Here he talks about the violent and dangerous “authoritarian left”. This guy can never be PM. This is him speaking candidly in a friendly room. This is the real Poilievre. #cdnpoli #uspoli

Good news out of Toronto: a single-use plastics bylaw has dropped waste by a third, with more reductions planned.

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

Loads of American Robins in our #YYC backyards - the clear skies overnight and the recent cold has motivated their southern movements. Put a water dish out for them and try to reduce window strikes by drawing curtains, moving feeders >10m from house and marking windows etc. #birds

Total Calgary operating budget for 2026 is $4.6 billion. Sad that two current councillors (Sharp and McLean) and one former councillor (Davison) believe that the city of Calgary is spending $87 billion just on climate change.

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article. www.dailydot.com/irl/lakotama...

Truly inspirational journalism from these iconic Palest!nian journalists. Watch, share and vote! And let’s slowly work to restore our humanity.

As my quasi-regular reminder to buy Canadian, here are my blog pages for Canadian hot sauces and Canadian "bourbons." canadiancynic.blogspot.com/2025/01/buy-... canadiancynic.blogspot.com/2025/02/buy-... Feel free to leave comments regarding omissions I should address.

That England has had its three worst harvests on record inside the past five years really should be being treated as a much bigger cause for concern than is currently the case. www.businessgreen.com/news/4520171...

Trump’s “peace plan” for Gaza isn’t peace—it’s an ultimatum. Palestinians are told to disarm, abandon legal claims of genocide, and accept foreign control, while Israel retains the right to “finish the job.” A ceasefire that erases justice is no peace at all, writes @coastsofbohemia.bsky.social.

Human rights groups urge Congress to block unauthorised force as fears of wider Caribbean conflict and chaos grow.

I‘ll share this small collection of photos here too. They will be part of a presentation at the NaturArt festival in Hungary this weekend. A portrait of what is and what’s to come … ❄️🌿

Because Communities First is a UCP-backed party... they'll never criticise the province.

I trust you all, my friends, and I know that you will do what you can to save my children. Everything here is indescribable. The extreme cold and the continuous bombing, and we have nothing for these poor children. Your donation, no matter how small, will help my children a lot.

Israel attacks and intercepts another convoy of Gaza-bound boats, according to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

"The devastating damage the current Israeli government has done to Gaza and its people would not have been possible without U.S. financing, U.S.-supplied weapons, and U.S. assistance with spare parts and maintenance."

Already clear signs of a slow down of northern ocean circulation will mean hotter summers, colder winters worse flooding and droughts, for Europe The tropics more extreme heat on land and worse ocean heatwaves than those already killing billions of marine organisms, from sea stars to sea birds

Calling all nature people and orgs, please consider adding your name to Naturalists for Palestine. It's essential we recognise that ecocide and genocide are two sides of the same coin, and resist both. share.google/gLPRtQzDGC3v...

Hundreds of olive trees were seen uprooted by Israeli forces in the villages of al-Mughayyir and abu Falah near Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done. Protect people and the planet. #ActOnClimate #biodiversity #deforestation #rewilding #solutions

VP J.D. Vance urged Americans to report anyone suspected of celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder. When leaders turn grief into surveillance, democracy slips toward fear—and his rhetoric echoes Orbán’s Hungary, not the traditions of the US. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/jd-vance-u...
