And as if #PeteHoekstra’s July 4th party filled with anti-Canadian seditionists wasn’t enough bullshit, the propaganda that was spread online along with it, was equally toxic. #cdnpoli

What's with all the anti-communist rhetoric in the USA right now? Did someone resurrect Joe McCarthy?

You gotta love how our Prime Minister meets the moment - he’s helping to unite our country while showing the world our strength and values 🇨🇦 #Canada  #Canadá #Cndpoli

Haberman: Canada is not an exception. What is an exception right now with Canada is that Canada's current leadership has shown a fair amount of pushback to Trump. Mark Carney is one of the few people who has really aggressively pushed back.

As tempting as it might be to tell Smith to pound sand and speak the truth about the direction and shape of the energy transition, his job is to do what’s best for Canada. In giving Smith so much, Carney is taking away the one thing she needs most for her own political survival: an enemy in Ottawa.

Why PM Mark Carney is Right about How to Save the Environment and why Rachel Gilmore is wrong @rachelgilmore.bsky.social medium.com/@john.berlin...

UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy quits TwitterX. This should be the first of many.

Volpe: The federal government isn't getting enough credit right now and doing a very solid job of keeping the lid on these potentially volatile negotiations with a president who doesn't like to be shown up in public.

This is who we are! ❤️🍁❤️ Happy Canada Day!!!

Properly designed data centres would have closed-cycle cooling systems that would not pollute. The issue is not data centres. It’s regulation and good engineering.

It's extremely hard to take these supposed tech leaders seriously when they post stuff like this. This isn't rocket science. Trudeau was elected in late 2015, not late 2013 as this chart tries to argue. And yet. #cdnpoli

Good opinion piece

PM Carney comments on the Alberta referendum comparing to Brexit and warning about the consequences of such decisions

Rachel does great work and is well worth supporting if you have a couple extra bucks.

Not us already being HALFWAY to my goal???? Omg!!!! I am so, so beyond grateful. You guys are amazing. I am the luckiest journalist around to have such an incredible community. Let's keep this momentum going ❤️

This is a brilliant conceptual plan for restoring residence at 24 Sussex in Ottawa. 🇨🇦 Congratulations to Prime Minister Carney and the team for dealing with this. I don’t have millions to contribute - but I certainly will contribute to this project ❣️ apple.news/AYd-WZTm7Q5y...

My most recent story on Medium. medium.com/@john.berlin...

Alberta could take a lesson. "The refinery has ended the decades-long predicament in which Nigeria, Africa’s biggest oil producer and an Opec member, exported up to 2mn barrels of crude oil a day but imported most of its petrol and diesel from Europe." giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

How the hell does 30% of America not grasp that Donald Trump is the most obvious fraud and most criminally insane pathological liar in history? How?!

Opinion | Canadian universities cannot afford to stand still in the age of AI By Vivek Goel, president and vice-chancellor of the University of Waterloo. "Universities have always adapted to new technologies, but AI is different ..." www.thespec.com/gift-redeem?...

I had strong priors against LLMs for medicine. There are a lot of doctors in my family and I grew up viewing doctors as careful, skilled professionals. I had plenty of bad medical experiences, but I thought it would be hard to do better. Then an LLM found a cure for my 2 decade chronic condition...

Education even trump can understand #USDemocracy

People look at the opening of the #ObamaPresidentialCenter and wonder what the hell happened to go from such a president, to a disastrous corrupt imbecilic criminal conman. The answer? Weaponized social media, billionaire consolidation of power and the mass social engineering that followed.

Firepoint used footage from this morning’s attacks on Moscow’s oil refinery in their booth at the Eurosatory arms expo in Paris. Their drones were used in the attack

🇺🇸 today 😔

According to AFP (h/t Tech Xplore), residents in the small Swedish community are using electric cars to send electricity back into their homes. That gives the families access to the energy stored in the vehicles when household power needs rise

How can the US accept having a complete idiot as president?

Why not take a shot at writing a commencement address? This one is excellent. open.substack.com/pub/jasmine/... You might not do better, but it's an exercise in you being more you. And that's a big part of what writing (and other creative practice) is about

“In his encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, the Pope articulates risks and trends of dehumanization that are clearly relevant for thinking about what is being prioritized and encouraged in many universities today.” universityaffairs.ca/opinion/feel...

If what Toronto Police are saying here is true, this would suggest some unknown actors (possibly not even based in Canada) are paying people to incite fear in Toronto's Jewish community and inflame domestic divisions in Canada www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...
