"Researchers at Stanford University found that keeping our clocks on standard time year round, instead of just in the autumn and winter (as in most US states as well as the UK), would reduce the prevalence of obesity and strokes." www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I genuinely don't understand why enforcing these rules is so difficult. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

Given the linear progression of time, I'd be fascinated to discover what the WSJ thinks the alternative is. (Not being a subscriber means I will be left forever to wonder, however).

To elaborate on Rustad's football metaphor, you also won't get very far if you substitute cheerleaders for competent players. We keep seeing examples down south of what happens when there's too much emphasis on loyalty at the expense of competence. #BCPoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Interesting to compare turnout numbers for the BC Green party (2 seats, ~8,000 members) to the BC Conservatives' (40 seats, ~9,000 members) recent leadership review. The Greens got at least 5,225 (~65% of their members), based on the 'top 3' vote totals. #BCPoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The most interesting part of this story to me is that it's appearing in the business press. One wonders what BC's business community expected when backing such an untested party. #BCPoli www.biv.com/news/comment...

"...the political equivalent of one of those boy bands created by a sharp promoter looking for quick profits." People always seem to forget - politics is a skillset, and building a successful party organization takes work. #BCPoli thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

Buttigieg says #ElbowsUp "...did not make us feel alienated from Canada," but instead signalled "the kind of difficult realignment that happens with actual friends." www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Solidarity from Ypres Belgium where the Canadians kept the line from breaking during the first brutal use of gas in the First World War. Steve sent this to the resistance. Together we are strong.

I keep thinking of President Eisenhower’s reaction to British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden in The Crown ...a sad metaphor.

It seems the conservative party didn't stand by Sturko, who helped legitimize them when they were just starting out. Quelle surprise. #BCPoli www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Today marks 10 years since Nathalie, Anastasia and Carol were murdered by a man they had rejected. The misogynist was responsible for his actions but he was enabled by huge, massive system failures. Please honour their memories today by reading the inquest report : www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is exactly the kind of push-back on dubious knowledge claims that I try to teach my students to engage in.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

"I think it's important for us to make it clear — including, frankly, the government of Israel — that we do not think that annexation... is a route that's sustainable or in the best interests of Israel or anybody else." - Bob Rae, Canada's ambassador to the UN www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"It's gaslighting 101. You probably should get someone to tell him a little bit more about how to properly do Canada-U.S. diplomacy, but I'm not sure he'd listen." - Flavio Volpe, Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association & PM's Canada-U.S. relations council. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

How could a social media platform that got its start rating female classmates' attractiveness do this???

One of the nicest spinoffs of my desire to boycott US products was rediscovering these folks. (Which reminds me, I need to replenish my supplies...)

In my neck of the woods, we call this political consumerism. As other forms of American political expression and behaviour are suppressed, I suspect we're going to start seeing a lot more of this.

This was always, eventually going to come at a political cost. It seems to me that the bill is starting to come due. www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

I would add that the Techbrocracy seem to genuinely believe that every idea they have is a good one.

As a nation, we need to pause and ask ourselves if this is who we want to be? Can Canadians look ourselves in the mirror and live with the knowledge we *disappointed* the ambassador of a country that threatened to annex us and run our economy into the ground? [pause] Ya, actually, I’m ok with it
