Indigenous sovereignty and Indigenous-led conservation are both crucial to Canada’s future — but they’re also widely misunderstood. @michellecyca.com explains in our latest video: thenarwhal.ca/indigenous-s...

Separatist Republicans sitting at 17% in Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills. If they can’t get more than 20% in a rural conservative riding like Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills of all places then they are probably not a viable electoral force in Alberta politics.

"AllTrails has a new generative AI feature that can be asked to 'shorten my route' or 'make this more scenic.' But the people in charge of searching for lost hikers say the feature is going to exacerbate an issue they’ve been warning about for years: hiking apps providing false information."

“This is a critical decade: human-induced global warming rates are at their highest historical level, and 1.5 °C global warming might be expected to be reached or exceeded in around 5 years in the absence of cooling from major volcanic eruptions"

I wonder if a movement to go analog is going to be the next trend. Analog as a form of rebellion. I like the idea.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

“They're missing the whole point in that we're seeing more fires, a longer fire season, more intense fires, more severe fires, because the climate is changing due to human activities,” said fire expert Mike Flannigan. “It's a serious omission, and that's being very polite.”

Did we stop talking as much about the Carbon Bubble because stranded assets are no longer an economic threat? No, we've just grown aware that the risk to climate-brittle assets — indeed the entire economy — is vastly larger. Good paper: www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

I have been studying illness and labour in Alberta for years now. Without a doubt, one of the most common responses to the COVID-19 vaccine is that it doesn't work because you can still be infected after getting vaccinated Health Canada needs to address this immediately and widely.

🚨 Rebel News lost its court battle for official journalism status. The judge found only 10 of 423 posts met the standard for real news. The CRA ruled most were opinion, rewrites, or activist fundraising—not journalism. The ruling makes one thing clear: propaganda isn’t journalism. That's a win!

Forgot to tag this question with #HaliSky - is there a Show Your Stripes style climate change data visualization out there for Halifax NS, or any other Canadian communities east of Montreal?

It’s cruel and dangerous to charge Albertans for the COVID vaccine. This move by the UCP is anti-science and puts public health at risk. If they truly cared about protecting people, they’d be promoting vaccines—not putting up barriers.
