The memory of the mass femicide at Polytechnique is still painful.

Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Montreal massacre, where 14 women — students at Université de Montréal’s École Polytechnique — lost their lives in a mass shooting motivated by misogyny.

Bravo #Italy.

#Femicide recognition by Italy in criminal court comes in response to a series of killings and other violence targeting women in Italy. It includes stronger measures against gender-based crimes including stalking and revenge porn. #WomensRighthsAreHumanRights #Equalrights
Italy now recognizes the crime of femicide and punishes it with life in prison
Italy’s parliament has approved a law that introduces femicide into the country’s criminal law and punishes it with life in prison.

Interesting history. Also, no one should observe it.
Saskatchewan does not observe Daylight Saving Time, nor do some eastern regions of British Columbia. In Ontario, some communities like Pickle Lake don't observe DST. Parts of Quebec, Nunavut and all of the Yukon also do not observe it.

BC is opening its doors to AI data centres, even creating a cabinet position to help grow the industry.

But it previously welcomed crypto and reversed course in the face of an overwhelming number of power requests.

Where will AI fit into our limited electricity supply?

The 1963 rape and murder of 18-year-old Ann Mary Dick devastated the small Kaska community of Upper Liard, Yukon.

Now, more than five decades later, her siblings are seeking justice over the RCMP’s mishandling of the investigation and that of another historic death in the region.

Derek Cronmiller from Yukon Geological Survey published this case study of an unusual landslide tsunami 🧪⚒️🌊

link.springer.com/article/10.1...
The 17 december 2024 Takhini River landslide and river-ice tsunami, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada - Landslides
On 17 December 2024, a 118,000-m3 landslide on a cut bank of the Takhini River, Yukon, broke through the river-ice and generated a tsunami. The tsunami transported blocks of river-ice up to 250 m from the landslide deposit and destroyed vegetation on the opposite riverbank splintering and uprooting trees more than 20 cm in diameter. River-ice blocks in the tsunami deposit commonly exceed 4 m2 and 30-cm thickness. Snapped branches and impact scars on the trunks of four surviving trees in the tsunami impact area record damage from rafted ice up to 2.5-m height. The landslide-generated tsunami increased the hazard-affected area by 260% from 2.8 ha to 7.2 ha. The ice cover on the river effectively concentrated the tsunami hazard by reducing its overall footprint while increasing the damage in affected areas through entrainment of ice blocks; this effect is an important consideration for future landslide and tsunami hazard assessments in cold regions. Residual hazard at the site includes additional landslides from the landslide scar and altered river dynamics due to obstruction by the landslide deposit. Erosion rates of a previous smaller landslide suggest that the obstruction in the river is likely to remain for at least a decade. The lack of conspicuous triggers for this landslide points to the importance of progressive failure processes in a dry brittle soil slope over-steepened by fluvial erosion.
