Scientists at Canadian institutions have long punched well above our weight despite low and stagnant funding. Spending a billion dollars on external recruitment while science here is starving is exactly what Harper got wrong about supporting research excellence in Canada.
Canada’s new government is investing big to attract world-class talent in science and technology — and become an innovation powerhouse.

Influenza A sweeping thru Ontario now. Classrooms are emptying. Consider vaccinating your children.

This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs

Lots of political posturing this morning about whether Canada should have taxpayer subsidized school lunch programs. So let's summarize the peer-reviewed evidence:

Abstenions appeared to have been:

NDP MP Gord Johns
NDP MP Lori Idlout
Conservative MP Shannon Stubbs
Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux

All other opposition MPs voted against, except for Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, who voted “yea” alongside the Liberals.
🚨 NO ELECTION 🚨

The vote barely squeaked by thanks to abstentions.

Final tally: 170 yeas, 168 nays
Could we be getting an ELECTION for Christmas?

Well, the Liberals still need one more “yes” vote to avoid that (or two abstentions), making the vote that’s taking place in two hours a real nail-biter.

Here’s where things stand right now, with a little help from @supriya.bsky.social:

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

It increasingly feels like the Canadian electorate was tricked.

Health care is a consistently high voter priority. Kicking it down to the provinces after breaking the promises made in a federal election is shady af behaviour.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

I am passionate about protecting darkness as a habitat. Light pollution is rarely appropriately considered. Many folks have switched to solar outdoor lights without analyzing the consequences of lighting their yard after bedtime when nocturnal wildlife need darkness

On Jan 6 in DC, ~2500 MAGAs violently protested. DC police reported 174 police injuries, 9 deaths, & 1500+ criminal convictions.

On Oct 18 in NYC, ~100K Americans peacefully protested. NYPD reports 0 injuries, 0 deaths, & 0 arrests.

FACT—Right wing violence remains America’s biggest terror threat.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...
Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

In Canada, top 1% of wealth holders hold 24% of total wealth.
Meanwhile, PM Carney has an ‘austerity budget’, which will impact the disadvantaged.
Patriotic Millionaires Canada, which I am a board member of, estimated that a 3% tax on wealth over $100-million could raise $25-billion annually.

Why is NACI allowing only 1 COVID vaccine per year for most Canadians, making many ineligible for the fall vaccine?

Everyone should be eligible:

1. It’s an UPDATED vaccine.
2. COVID vaccines begin to wane at 4 months - it’s NOT a yearly vaccine.

A dramatic, extremely worrying moment; over 61,000 people held in ICE detention. That is the highest number ever on record in United States history; roughly 6,000 higher than the previous record set under Trump six years ago, and over 21,000 higher than when Trump took office just seven months ago.
ICE just released updated detention statistics.

As of August 24, ICE is holding 61,226 people at authorized facilities around the United States and its Territories.

Kids get Long Covid. Kids die at 4× the rate of flu from acute infection (that 7–10 days you felt sick, didn’t test, went back to work, and spread it).

LC has no cure.
1 in 3 risk lasting damage.
LC can & will destroy lives.
Probably yours & your kids’ if you don’t utilize airborne protections.
