Yes. If people remember one thing from my book I hope it's the name of Louise Webster, the co-discoverer of black holes.
She has been written out of the history of science.
She had one of the first successful liver transplants in Australia but sadly died in Sydney at 49.

Canada’s true uniqueness is that every few years we de facto make the leader of the often 1-seat Green Party our supreme authority and it really hasn’t failed yet
Dimitri Soudas, former Harper comms guy, told RadCan this morning that he's hearing Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux will cross the floor to the Liberals today.
If this happens, the Liberals are one seat short of a majority. You know what that means.
That's right.
Elizabeth May is Kingmaker.

I'm not opposed to #ElizabethMay forcing the govt to include environmental protections as the cost of her vote.
Ms May will offer a reasonable pathway to garner her vote. She understands that a minority govt gives her a strong voice as the only Green MP.
Seems like a potential Win-Win for 🟩 & 🟥

State Department to ban immigrants speaking ill of Charlie Kirk. VP to fly his body to Arizona on Air Force 2. Trump to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Journalists getting fired for asking the right questions. We are spiraling into a dystopia beyond our imagining.
