Everything is covered in thick smoke in Regina, and I'm thinking this will be regular this summer, so I just ordered delivery of the parts for a Corsi-Rosenthal box. www.webmd.com/allergies/co... 🧵

Trump administration cuts to NSF will result in more than 200,000 FEWER people per year involved in basic science, training, and education - what should have been the next generation of US scientists. This isn't even eating your seed corn, it is setting your seed corn on fire and salting the earth.

It’s only May, and already wildfires are ravaging Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. When are we going to believe the climate crisis will take everything from us? šŸ”„

Celeste Trianon, a trans advocate, believes the report was purposely designed to be written by non-experts who don't understand the concerns of trans people. […] "For trans women, this report is frightening," she said. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Stephen Lewis has inspired me since I was a kid. At 87 he came to the Kingston Rd vigil to denounce genocide. The honourable David Crombie showed up at Grandmothers Against Genocide vigil. They represent the best of CDN politics -from both sides of the political isle. Honoured to know them.

Frustration is growing with the federal government after ā€œIndigenous partnersā€ were given just days to provide feedback on his proposed changes to how Canada plans to approve major energy projects | @karynpugliese.bsky.social

Mark Carney convened the Incident Response Group on the wildfires in SK and MB, and says the government will match Red Cross donations. #cdnpoli

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

"The chatbot’s instructions tell it to ā€œde-emphasize the climate catastrophe narrative,ā€ to focus on ā€œreal pollution, not CO2.ā€ The bot is told to frame these arguments in the most reasonable possible way" "chatbots are useless" is wrong. They're very, very useful, for a certain kind of person:

There have been 102 wildfires in Manitoba this year. The Province has never had to fight so many different fires at once. The climate is changing, the Premier said. Fires continue to spread in Central and Western Canada. www.redcross.ca

Manitoba declares a provincewide state of emergency on Wednesday as wildfires continue to threaten communities across the province. Premier Wab Kinew says it comes as roughly 17,000 people are now under evacuation order.

My column: Despite rising safety concerns, bus ridership in #Saskatoon is increasing as a #transit revamp that includes big changes to College Drive is underway. #yxecc #bus #publictransportation thestarphoenix.com/opinion/colu...

Residents in Flin Flon and the neighbouring Saskatchewan town of Creighton have now been ordered to leave due to the nearby wildfire. Manitoba has declared a state of emergency.

Don't mess with band. Kids need it. For some, it's the only place at school they feel a sense of belonging. Please sign and share! chng.it/TFfLq2WWXX?s...

It's mind boggling that the scope of the new classroom complexity teaching positions in Saskatchewan is so narrow that we're still seeing cuts to positions like band teachers and no restoration of teacher librarians or EAL teachers. Whoever is making decisions has completely missed the plot.

Breaking: HHS is canceling a $600 million contract with Moderna to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus.

MYTH #4 of 8: ā€œFreedomā€ sold as flat tax, deregulation, and guns doesn’t add up. It benefits the wealthy, risks public safety, and ignores treaty law. 🧠 Alt text included #GiveVoice #GiveVoiceAB #ABleg #ABpoli #cdnpoli

Here’s Myth #3 in our 8-part series busting talking points used to stir division. ā€œMedical freedomā€ and ā€œparental rightsā€ are being weaponized — but the facts tell a different story. 🧱 Clear. Concise. Shareable. #MythBusting #AlbertaFacts #GiveVoices #ABleg #Cdnpoli #ABpoli

Here’s Myth #2 in our series designed to help everyone understand key issues — and have solid talking points. šŸ’¬ Can Alberta just vote to leave Canada by 2027? 🧠 Not without negotiations, consent & constitutional change. šŸ“Œ The Clarity Act isn’t a suggestion. #cdnpoli #ableg #ClarityAct #GiveVoices

Equalization confusion? This is your cheat sheet. No, Alberta doesn’t send cheques to Quebec. This quick visual breaks down the myth — and the actual policy. #Equalization #Alberta #MythBusting #cdnpoli #ABleg #ABpoli #cdnpoli

CEOs are announcing plans to replace their workforce with AI. Newspapers replace journalists with AI filler. Letting AI use your content for free sounds less like altruism and more like theft every day.

ā€œā€¦the ALS Society of Saskatchewan estimates there are around 125 people with ALS in SK…the society has had dozens of meetings with the province but never seems to be able to move the funding needleā€. The advocacy of people living with ALS, their families & caregivers is an added burden to them.

This kitchen used to feed 5,000 people a day. Now it stands empty. We have enough food ready to enter #Gaza, explains WFP's Kate Newton. We just need the access. Let aid in before it's too late.

71,000 children in Gaza will need urgent treatment for acute malnutrition, according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report. With supplies running out, it's imperative that aid be allowed in for children’s health and survival.

They’re skipping the whole ā€œconfirm they’re here illegallyā€ part. My family and I got no due process when they put us inside a Japanese American internment camp for years because we looked like the enemy.

Residents evacuated from wildfires near Lac du Bonnet continue to return home to assess property damage and rebuild what’s been destroyed by the blaze.

These 'threats' of doing the bare minimum are how we got to this point. Time to actually move beyond empty words.
