This is simply excellent writing. I started weeping halfway through - for us, and for the legacy of Masai. Another victory for the corporate world over the human. Masai Ujiri led with passion, empathy, and conviction whether with the Toronto Raptors or the Giants of Africa foundation.

"Why are my property taxes so high?" it's the auto infrastructure. it's the roads, the paving and painting. "It must be bike lanes! And homeless shelters! And all these new apartment buildings!" no actually it's just the roads.

Excellent article. By fixating on a grandiose Trump spending target, NATO has committed to inefficient military spending rather than combat effectiveness and opened the door to social spending cuts. This will be a gift to Russian appeasers, who will cry 'peace with Russia' to spare social programs.

Canadians by & large do not remember the tragedy of Air India 182 - a terror attacking that killed 329 people, including 268 Canadians. I worry that most of us believe this was a foreign attack, against foreign citizens. @shachikurl.bsky.social implores us to do better at remembering.

A while back when I discussed plastic pollution in my newsletter Talking Climate, I said the most important way we can cut it is not by recycling (only 8% is actually recycled) but rather by advocating for plastic bans where we live. And now, guess what - there’s peer-reviewed evidence this works!

New Leger poll is pretty concerning. Even as climate damages ramp us around us with thousands of wildfires this year so far, concern about climate change is dropping. 13% don't even believe in climate change. This proportion rises to 24% in Alberta. hs-5233025.f.hubspotemail.net/hub/5233025/...

NS Conservatives hiding findings & recommendations of the commission examining environmental racism. Unacceptable. It’s the People’s report. We paid for it. The gov’t has an obligation to share it. Transparency. Fundamental to DEMOCRACY. #HoustonWeHaveAProblem #nspoli youtu.be/e7kb7sR9YsQ

This list of 36 countries Trump wants to add to his travel band reads like an alphabetical list of African countries (aside from those on his original list). I wonder what these countries have in common to warrant a travel ban….

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history. The anti-Robin Hood.

The National Post is significantly editing Canadian Press copy, without notifying the reader, to push a Zionist perspective and to portray Palestinians as terrorists. It's completely unethical and a breach of basic journalism standards. A new low for The National Post.

A new data analysis finds the National Post quietly modified nearly 200 newswire articles since Oct. 7 to push a pro-Israel narrative. Jason Toney from @cjpme.org breaks down how the paper edited stories to erase Israeli occupation and frame Palestinians as terrorists.
