Since 1947, the Canadian Rangers have provided a military presence in the Canadian North. Experts in wilderness survival, they cover areas of Canada that are not practical for conventional Army units. Considered to be "always on duty", this is their legendary story. 🧵1/10

I've been writing this for months now and I'm kind of shocked at how few governments have come around to this point: You can't negotiate with a state of delusion. Stop trying to make a deal, start figuring out how to fight back and decouple. The Economist gets it. www.economist.com/finance-and-...

ROTHKO: ... He no longer believed there were any real human beings out there to look at pictures. KEN: How does that happen to a man? ROTHKO: Better you should ask how occasionally it doesn’t happen. --"RED", John Logan

More praise than we deserve, but it still kinda makes me cry. We are radically imperfect. But still, we will not yield to the darkness sweeping over the world. We will not yield.

70K is more than two orders of magnitude short of what's needed. Kudos to those protesting, but there needs to be over a hundred times as many to bring this criminal regime to an end.

Ahead of a sales tax increase in Japan in April 1997, consumers bought a bunch of stuff. You'll never guess what happened next

If this buys Ukraine something useful in the short term, great, but you cannot "sign a deal" with the US: they will rip it up the moment it seems like a good idea to some orange moron, like they did the CUSMA "deal" between Canada, the US, and Mexico on free trade.

Did not realize that 75% of the total US population regularly dies of fentanyl overdoses. Is that, like, three out of every four Americans? Or maybe just a million or so dying 258 times each? That's probably why the economy is tanking. Good thing these people are in charge. New term: "DOGE math"

How it plays out for US-Canada relations? They will be bad for the foreseeable future, and the more solidly US fascists consolidate their power, the worse they will be. #elbowsfuckingup

And there needs to be 10x more funding for development than research. Making stuff work in the lab is cheap, relatively speaking. Making stuff work in the world is fantastically expensive, and Canada is chronically under-capitalized.

Hospitals & healthcare workers are being advised that masks should be required for anyone with fever or respiratory illness as a means of containing the spread of measles. Why isn’t this information being given to the general public? Measles cases are over 1000. People should be masking.

There are few things as cost effective as Narcan, especially in a country where (entirely preventable) opioid overdoses have been a leading cause of death for years. For every 6 kits distributed 1 OD is prevented. The $56M in this grant trained >66K people and distributed >282,500 kits in 2024 alone
