New peer reviewed research confirms that gender affirmative care reduces the rate of suicide in gender diverse youth over time.

These findings published in the Journal of Pediatrics are consistent with other studies.

Access to timely care is critical.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

It is actually not mandatory for everyone else in the room when he does this to women in front of witnesses to just giggle nervously and ignore it. People could actually do the decent thing that one does in such circumstances, and tell him to back off, and take the consequences. I mean for starters.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.

We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

“Politicians need to do better, and this case is really, really clear on that.”

Harm reductionists explain a key victory, as a Supreme Court of Canada ruling affirms protection from possession arrests for people at an OD scene.

The "drill, baby, drill" slogan belies the relatively small role of *all* mining, quarrying, O&G extraction activities in the Canadian economy.
It's hugely capital intensive (only 1.2% of all jobs) but rip, strip and ship activities contribute just 5.1% to GDP... not even in the top 10 sectors.
Canada wide: In 2024, 4.4 million (21.2%) Canadians earn their living from a job in the care economy. In the entire Canadian industrial sector that mines, quarries, drills and extracts, there were 264K jobs. The care economy generates 13.6% of GDP. The entire mining, etc. sector generates 5.1%.
