Awful scenes out of Venezuela tonight, with extensive building collapses after a 7.1 earthquake immediately followed by a 7.5. It seems likely to be a very deadly one. Thinking of the Venezuelan people going through this tonight. www.cnn.com/2026/06/24/w...

Victoria. A small city split up into even smaller cities. Each their own municipality! thetyee.ca/News/2026/06...

Félix Séguin, of TVA, reporting the shooter's manifesto screams Incel: "He attacks feminism, capitalism, and the pornography industry." Aylo, the company which owns Pornhub and a number of other sites, has its head offices directly next to the hotel where the shooting took place.

It's not listed in the above G&M article but a Montreal outlet has reported that the shooter had a lengthy misogynist manifesto.

We’re already seeing two communities that experienced devastating losses in years past again be affected by wildfire this year. Photojournalist Jesse Winter’s new book has some stark warnings about what’s in store:

This fire is a few kilometres south of Lytton. Seems to have grown considerably. It has been very hot (33/34 C) here today. Fairly windy. The growth at 7pm is better than if it were 5pm. Lotsa helicopter sounds here in Lillooet.

The same developer allowed the Dunsmuir Hotel to rot, to the point that the city ordered them to tear it down because it was so dangerous. That site is now a vacant lot downtown. thetyee.ca/News/2024/12...

IMO there’s a lot to consider from social media that applies to auto dependency and vice versa. In both cases private interests have become nigh-mandatory intermediaries for pursuing invaluable ends, leaving few clear answers for how to mitigate their harms and unwind their influence.

I learned so much from reading @kehyslop.bsky.social's in-depth explainer on Canada's proposed social ban for kids under 16. The legislation differs from UK and Australia's similar efforts for instance - read more here: thetyee.ca/News/2026/06...

An environmental group is arguing that PM Carney could have insisted that data centres be powered by renewable energy. Instead, the largest proposed facilities will be powered by natural gas. @geoffdembicki.bsky.social and @jenstden.bsky.social report. #canpoli

The real reason Mark Carney wants to build so many AI data centres? @jenstden.bsky.social and I report on internal govt documents explaining one of the top 'public policy benefits to Canada' of data centres is they 'provide markets' for gas producers. www.desmog.com/2026/06/11/m... @desmog.com
