LNG Canada’s facility in Kitimat, B.C., burned more than 1.7 million cubic metres of gas on a single day in September. While that day was an outlier, documents obtained through a freedom of information request reveal the facility consistently burned 15 times more gas per day than expected.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again:

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Canada did a consultation on a new national AI strategy, formed an expert task force to write 32 reports, then used AI to analyze the responses & reports. The result is a summary that strings together 100s of vague action items & flattens nuance and policy trade-offs into false consensus

Huge missed opportunity for Canada to show global leadership in AI governance. We could be a frontrunner on so many participatory methods - open legislative development and policy workshops, public awareness campaigns, citizens assemblies - instead we're making AI slop and calling it innovation

My experience in the last six months on BlueSky has been me gently trying to correct information that people are putting out there that’s incorrect and them blocking me for it. Liberals especially. They don’t want to know the truth anymore, people love their artificially constructed realities.

Donald Trump probably (!) won't order a military attack on Canada. But his administration is happy to interfere in our politics, and we have to respond accordingly: by thickening our informational borders and holding tech companies to account.

The CCF/NDP grew out of the populist soil of Canada, founded by prairie farmers and workers. I’m proud to have the support of agriculture leaders today, fighting for food sovereignty and against corporate control of our food system. We’re rebuilding the NDP for every community, including farmers.

When Mark Carney talks of "increased efficiencies", he's not talking to working class Canadians, he's talking to the global investor class. "Increased efficiencies", as Carney uses it, means easier exploitation of Canadian workers.
