UPDATE: I saw it happen! At the Birds Canada research station at the tip of Long Point I watched an expert ever-so-gently and carefully put one of these tiny tags on a monarch. Let me walk you through the steps (1/4)
So cool to visit the Motus workshop at Birds Canada headquarters. The Motus community is studying the movement of birds, bats and insects. This tiny radio telemetry device will fit on a Monarch butterfly 😲 #invertebrates #birds 🌿 www.birdscanada.org/bird-science...

Every time I come home from visiting family in Europe, that’s what I feel: Toronto is still a teenager, a work in progress, and therefore full of potential. Good read by @shawnmicallef.bsky.social.
Shawn Micallef: There’s a good reason why some might think Toronto’s best days are behind it. Here’s how we change their minds
The best days for the city lie ahead of it, but there are things we have to get right to make sure that happens.

Every Canadian Election I approach all the different party leaders and see if they will do an interview / Hip Flip. Here's a clip of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Check out the *FULL* interview at youtu.be/TZmh_PNMImE Doot doo !

Just completely untenable for the GOP. There’s a market collapse, there’s probably going to be a recession, the cause literally could not be more clear, and they simply cannot acknowledge anything is happening lest they suggest Great Leader might have erred. They’re pinned to the wall, end them
Mike Johnson changed the House rules so that a vote for Congress to reclaim authority to do tariffs will never be scheduled, by declaring the rest of this Congressional term one single calendar day. www.wakeuptopolitics.com/p/house-quie.... He could fix all of this before the US markets open.

This is a very different approach to affordability from what Canada (or any other large developed economy) has done so far of late. Will be interesting to see details.

One silver lining of the next few years is that thousands of Canadians who decide to do more travel close to home are going to gain an appreciation for other regions they might not otherwise have. It becomes much easier to stay committed to holding this improbable country together.
Not a bad view.

I remember when swapping my phone battery just meant prying open the back cover, and I could do it whenever I needed to keep it going. Huge thank you to @ifixit.com for moving modern electronics back to that world. Looking forward to another year or two with my Pixel 6!

On this day in 1967, Pierre Elliott Trudeau declared “There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation,” and since then, we’ve legalized same-sex marriage, banned conversion therapy, and fought to protect trans rights.

1. Construction jobs
2. Demand for materials
3. Allowing people to live closer to jobs, transit, etc.

Build the homes, protect the economy.
There has never been a more important time to get serious and build more Canada
the issue is that the provinces that the Yanks will most likely want to move to (BC/ON) are both expensive as fuck, primarily due to housing regs

"What we face is a U.S. president who is quite openly saying two things, over and over in public and on camera: he doesn’t believe that Canada should exist as a country... and so long as it does, any kind of industrial prosperity enjoyed on the north side of the border is by definition illegitimate"

That old saw about how “good times make weak men” is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they’re too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

What is Justin Trudeau’s legacy on climate?
- Transformative climate policies. This is the fed govt that finally moved from announcing targets and plans to actually adopting policies
- Achilles heel on oil and gas.
- The legacy is fragile but is that Trudeau or Canada?
Bear with me for a long 🧵.

And just like that, being of a certain age is enough to be slapped with “probably enemy combatant” status.

*slow clap*
“Undocumented immigrants from China who are deemed to be of military age will be among the first groups targeted for deportation by the incoming Trump administration, sources close to the campaign previously told NBC News, citing the potential risk to national security.”
As sources say Trump could deport undocumented Chinese first, Asian American groups rush to prep
