Here's a weird one - an American KC-135 Stratotanker orbiting Vancouver this morning. He seems to be heading back south now. @petervogel.bsky.social did you see this?

#MountUnderwoodFire smoke plume sunrise at #DepartureBay #Nanaimo. Much cooler today, less windy though still breezy, and no smoke smell at ground level. Hoping for better conditions for fire fighting crews over the next few days.

But as I travel’d hither through the land,
I find the people strangely fantasied,
Possess’d with rumors, full of idle dreams,
Not knowing what they fear, but full of fear.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

The one thing that every Canadian knows - if you are confronted by ICE you don't ever slam on the brakes.
You put both hands on the wheel and drive right over ICE.

Commentary: AI slop fills the information void of Air India crash investigation

Measles was ended thanks to vaccinations. Now it is running rampant because of disinformation. Polio was wiped out but is now reappearing. Here is my latest on the role Kennedy Jr and Danielle Smith are playing in tearing down trust in medicine.

Jehuda Lindenblatt wanted the writer Taffy Brodesser-Akner to tell his story of survival for years. In finally doing so, she reckons with how many people in her generation push away thoughts of the Holocaust to cope, only to find themselves dealing with them anyway.
The Holocaust Story I Said I Wouldn’t Write
For years, my friend’s father asked me to recount his childhood escape from the Nazis. Why did it take me this long?

The transfer of power from one Prime Minister to another after a leadership vote can be confusing.
Before the new leader can assume the office, the Governor General (pictured below) must first prepare their rocking chair.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us.
That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.
