This guy shouting "merchant of doubt" at people asking reasonable questions about the vibes-based categorization of foods as "ultra processed" used in scientific claims.
Ultraprocessed foods are the product of a food economy driven by corporate profit, not nutrition or sustainability - & political lobbying is the largest barrier to implementing effective policies to tackle the rise of UPFs. www.thejournal.ie/ultra-proces...

At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.

The study's sponsor, Too Good to Go (a marketing company for the food industry), suggests using "the sniff test" but the foods listed as most frequently discarded all grow pathogens undetectable by smell:

40% of Gen Z Canadians misinterpret best before dates on food, leading to significant waste: study
25 per cent of Gen Z's discard food with expired best before dates, even if it is safe to eat, which is an average cost of $329 of food waste

A theme in V for Vendetta (perhaps more the books than the movie) is that survivors of atrocities are the ones that get burdened with the work of change and it's very hard for sympathetic allies to do this work because they are easily coopted by either carrot or stick.

I naively joined the NDP to vote in the leadership contest. I canceled my membership because it's obvious that no matter who wins they will not change and their only purpose as a party is to allow people west of Ontario to vote Liberal.

If you live in Alberta, you should know that today your government will invoke the notwithstanding clause to wage war against transgender Albertans.
Not because transgender persons are harmful, but because the UCP is distracting you from their mountain of failures.

I wonder if Carney will actually enforce the Canada Health Act?
He'll probably not, and even let other provinces follow suit, and we'll hear about how he's so smart and playing 3D chess with Alberta from all of his sycophants.

This is BS. The caucus strategically had two members abstain because the NDP didn't want an election.
If this is how Lewis is as a candidate its unlikely he will be able to take on the rot in the NDP that has essentially destroyed the Party.

Are we to believe that May and Carney didnt plan that little exchange? May sucks so bad and the harm that she's done to the Greens over her tenure has more than eclipsed winning a seat for the Party.

This reminds me of nursing. Nurses think we're in it to get paid and wear giant arm cannons. The government and public believe we do it because of our motherly altruism and the pay is a nice little thank you present that varies with how much is leftover after they go shopping for tax cuts and police
There is a trend of video game narratives where women are prominent to be overly focused on motherhood and the 'natural' nurturing urges we're all supposed to harbor. It happens even when the woman in question wears power armor and blasts aliens with a giant arm cannon.
The entire fandom’s (and Retro Studios) initial assumption: “Oh she hunts down the baddest monsters in the galaxy and gets paid for it, right?”
