Well I just unfollowed over 90% of my list on ‘X’. I don’t feel I can fully deactivate there, as I still follow a scant few institutional & municipal accounts that I predict will stubbornly stick with that platform & can’t not keep up with. #Xodus2025

A new analysis from The Walrus tackles the biggest issue for Canadians: the cost of living.
Polls from RBC and Abacus show a majority feel they can't maintain their standard of living, and it's their #1 concern.

Utter UCP failure
I spoke with the Edmonton Journal about Canada losing its measles elimination status — the only G7 country to do so.
40% of outbreaks are in Alberta, where the UCP blocked its top doctor from urging vaccines.
Politics should never come before public health.

After almost three decades, Canada has lost its measles elimination status.
That means in 2025, this extremely contagious disease spread consistently in our country for the first time since 1998.
This was preventable, which makes it embarrassing -- in more ways than you might realize:

3/9 What is "space junk"? It's human-made objects, often untrackable.
Jonathan #McDowell (Harvard) says the real danger is from debris "as small as a bullet" traveling at 27,000+ km/h.
"Those are the scary ones," he says. "They are time bombs in orbit.”

2/9 This is a major milestone, and not a good one. It's the first known time a crew's return to Earth has been affected by debris.
Experts have warned this was inevitable. "It was only a matter of time before this happened,” says Lauren #Kahn of Georgetown University.
