I'm a Jamaican Canadian mum with 2 autistic kiddos. I'm bisexual, disabled and sick of calling people's lives "culture wars". I'm an elder millenial so permanently cranky. I'm trying to get back into knitting and crocheting but life...I "love" politics of all my identities.

The story actually undersells Canada’s vulnerability to the US abandonment of science and regulation, on which Canada depends.
In other news, the Carney government is cutting Health Canada’s budget by 15%.
Make that make sense.

Disappointing bullshit is disappointing. They're not owed a career or welcome in the NHL. And we see you with the "team" bs.

As Hockey Canada players’ NHL return nears, how will they be embraced by their new teams?
The players carry significant baggage, and signing them could come at a cost for teams that goes beyond finances.

You know what works best for your child-what motivates them, and helps them to learn and to be their best.
Please never hesitate to share this knowledge with your child’s classroom teacher.

Not surprised by the NHLPA's stance on this. When the league inevitably says they're clear to play, I hope the teams feel the pressure to say no. They aren't owed a career.

Hey, USA, here’s the leader of Health and Human Services, allowing parasitic lampreys to bite his arms, presumably to let the bad humours out and make him healthier than a normal human.
We’ll all soon be issued personal lampreys instead of health care.

This hit me in my feels as the girl literally begs not to have her hair combed and I struggle to not have her hair neat. Letting go what we were told/forced in is hard. I'm going to try to remember this tomorrow morning.
