Fun fact: the highest point of Brussels is not at Altitude 100 (named like that because it's at a 100m elevation) but somewhere in the Sonian Forest.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Worth a read. Canada's financescape really has lost the plot and forgotten that profits should serve people and not vice versa. It's not 1980. We know the invisible hand of the free market left unchecked does nothing but choke us and in our world climate change preparedness is an essential service.

Evidence suggests 117 gangs are involved; 97% of them are also engaged in other criminality, but the crime isn't deemed a priority by the police.
