40 years on, Canada's stubby beer bottle is recast as a quiet form of protectionism | CBC News
The stubby, a Canadian beer bottle that was once a fixture in fridges from coast to coast, is now being reinterpreted as a subtle form of economic self-defence as trade tensions with the U.S. heat up.

Poilievre & Carney are locked in a battle over Canada's future.
One is all about cutting taxes, slashing spending, and shaking up the system.
The other is about steady hands, global markets, and quiet confidence.
Choose your fighter, Canada.

Went to the Peel Art Gallery Museum and Archives today in Brampton. Got a tour from a lovely lady. Learned a lot about the region. Saw come cool art from local artists. Small regional museums are a vastly under rated resource. Don’t skip them.

This is a pre-print study, as Sen. Merkley noted, but still a huge deal, and this story is mostly about related peer-reviewed research on microplastics in human bodies. 🧪
Sen @jeff-merkley.bsky.social just asked EPA nominee Lee Zeldin about his thoughts on a study finding microplastics in the brain, which I broke for The New Lede / @theguardian.com.

Microplastics are infiltrating brain tissue, studies show: ‘There’s nowhere left untouched’

Being a country means we each step up to our ability for the betterment of us all.
As Albertans we've benefited from the uneven distribution of oil in the good times. And we now have responsibilities in the bad times.
We hang together. That's the best and fastest way out of this mess for everyone.
