Oh my. I worked with Marc when he was the head of the Canadian Space Agency and I was their TBS analyst. He was so very nice and smart, sadly rare in Ottawa. Marc Garneau, Canadian astronaut and former Liberal cabinet minister, dead at 76 - CTV News apple.news/ARa7HuT3PQpe...

I can’t wait until Peter MacKinnion predictably writes all about the Santa Ono case and the horrors of EDIA www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I’ve lived in Alberta for 7.5 years now and I still can’t say Grand Prairie without a French accent 😬

As a mum to a kid with ADHD (who most likely inherited from me) this is a fascinated listen about how neurodivetsity was likely a genetic strength in human history www.cbc.ca/news/opinion...

Naheed Nenshi, the former Calgary mayor who cruised to victory as previous NDP leader Rachel Notley’s replacement a year ago, is seriously underperforming, and serious people are starting to notice. @djclimenhaga.bsky.social writes. #abpoli

Even this ass kissing piece couldn’t seal the deal for Santa Ono www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Nothing brings together academics like when a smug and greedy university administrator gets their just desserts.

As a mouse doctor I do not know how to weigh decisions involving any agents other than mice which is why I am well equipped for the role of President of a university.

I am plugged in. I am fully charged. I am unstoppable. I am running into a chair. I am running into a chair. I am running into a chair. I am running into a chair.

Doctors say that vaccines do not cause autism. X-user @cryptomaga1488 says that they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

June is both Brain Injury Awareness month AND Migraine Awareness month. Not unironically BI makes you more susceptible to migraines and migraines make you more likely to experience greater trauma from brain injuries. And being a woman, and an older woman to boot, adds to it all.

They just cant help themselves and drive themselves further away from *waves hands* normalcy www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"Of measles cases this year where the patient's immunization status is known, 91% have been in individuals who never received a measles vaccine. Another 5% were among people who had received 1 of the 2 recommended lifetime doses."

The ultimate water sausage compilation:

We all agree that these pieces drive us crazy for various reasons but can someone explain to me the policy goals of giving OAS to people who could die with an estate north of $6M? Can Lucas and Reena afford a $250,000 down payment for a duplex for their kids? apple.news/AzQVXMvKPQqC...
