I sometimes have to remind myself, that not everyone here “knows” me, the way they once did on Twitter. So let me clarify. I support vaccination, sound public health policy, trans rights, abortion rights, labour rights, treaty rights, free speech, and access to information.
This is not normal. Japan is continuing its run of astonishing temperature records. The country has just had its hottest summer for the third year in a row, and by a substantial margin. Data: JMA
Canada’s conspicuous silence as the US sanctions ICC judge Kimberly Prost marks a sharp decline from the days it challenged apartheid in South Africa. Where Canada once championed the court’s independence, it now defers to Washington.
Saw this post on Instagram yesterday and it resonated with me so I thought I'd share it with y'all RS
Super interesting to see the spatial dynamics involved in this year’s wildfires. Much of Ontario, Quebec, Nunavut, and Labrador’s boreal unscathed.

Respect, consideration and community seem to be a lost art form.
You know, growing up in Cape Breton, also with Newfoundland grandparents, I was taught to be independent and self sufficient. I was also taught to be respectful and kind, I understand sacrifices, common decency, and to not be selfish, so, when the government asked Nova Scotians to stay out /1

A comprehensive list of dangerous books that need to be banned in Alberta and the rest of Canada: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Please feel free to copy my list and distribute widely.
The advice I have been given by people better positioned than me lately, is to just stop resisting because fascism in Canada has already permeated every elected office and institution and my time would better be spent positioning myself outside the line of fire.
📖 The Fact The Avro Arrow was real — unveiled in 1958, it flew faster and higher than anything else on Earth. In 1959, it was abruptly scrapped, blueprints destroyed, and prototypes dismantled. Its engineers later helped NASA put men on the moon.
What could a Polymath Neurodivergent Savant even do for a job that pays well enough to allow me to have disposable income to fix the world even tiny bits at a time? Everybody is unemployed & struggling right now & my unique talents don't seem to matter much here in 2025, eh?
WELL. Looks like “unpaid work” isn’t fully over for Air Canada flight attendants after all. New details are coming out that suggest flight attendants will only be paid at 50% of their hourly rate for pre-take off tasks. Air Canada, pay your workers!!

I don't think there's any image change that will help when CPC policies are detrimental to women's rights and fail to meet the needs of ordinary Canadians.

The illiterate cosmic space muffin strikes again!
If anyone in #cdnmedia has not read it yet, it is required reading.
I’ve been reading Manufacturing Consent this week and OOF does it ever validate so much of what I experienced during my years spent working in national mainstream media! The model is painfully accurate, and I’d argue it’s been exacerbated today by digital adtech monopolies and mass layoffs.

Canada, don’t give up! Get louder!
Edmonton Public Schools has decided that Margaret Atwood is too dangerous for youth to read. As is Brave New World. 1984 is banned by Grade 9s and younger. This is the MAGA machine of Danielle Smith in action. Perhaps a public book burning will reassure the base. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Every building you raise outside these thresholds is a liability. To the homeowner, to the grid, to the planet.

Passive House is not an ideology. It's survival and sovereignty encoded in construction. It's comfort, health, and independence—built into walls, roofs, and windows.
The world’s first Passive House was Canadian. 1977. Saskatchewan. No furnace. No fallback. Just design that defied −40°. Our legacy is the foundation. Why aren’t we standing on it? proconsul.ghost.io/origins-at-h... Proconsul Clarity Action Proof

You can’t live if you don’t exist. You can’t love if you don’t live.
You want to understand the real danger? It’s not that people can’t buy homes. It’s that they stop believing anyone can fix it. That’s when civic trust collapses. When families stop planning. When builders stop investing. When markets freeze because belief dies.
Canada’s housing “strategy” is an expensive delusion. We don’t need another report. We need homes. Fast, fixed-price, climate-secure homes that real people can own. The problem isn’t money. It’s motion. No more waiting. proconsul.ghost.io/the-doors-we... Proconsul Clarity Action Proof
The problem to be solved is sidelined. My entire career has been this. Getting people to describe the problem first, and let me help them identify the correct solution. So often I have to start with trying to get people to let go of the solution, and start over.

When you buy a new genny with your retired air line pilot dad, you can be sure he distilled the manual into a checklist attached to the device. He's 93, insane, but the dude you want flying your loved ones across the Atlantic.

Arthur’s Seat was there in the distance, quiet but certain, and we followed without thinking. The stones spoke. The air whispered. The flowers quietly agreed. And somewhere between here and there, I realised – I was arriving home. #MyScotland🏴

Climate change is going to force us to come together as communities to deal with the problem.

So many galaxies, so many stars - yet only one Carl Sagan. Let us do better, humanity: we need more voices of reason, more proponents of awe, more prophets of wonder, and more reasons to feel gratitude for the magnificence of our existence.

If I see a Canadian media story that might be close to the truth, the first thing I do is check it against EU & Australian media. Step 2 is check out what american media says then I go to the step 3 counterpoint, Al Jazeera. It takes research to figure out what real news is, especially in Canada.

A Wiest essay isn’t wisdom. It’s a blade. It names what you wouldn’t, until you can’t ignore it. But wisdom without system is entertainment. Read less. Codify more. That’s how essays become architecture. proconsul.ghost.io/the-value-in... Proconsul Clarity Action Proof
Tangential, but I'm starting to see hyper-partisanship as less partisanship, more codependency.
Just want to honour @steveboots.bsky.social contribution to Canadian political commentary. He’s been a positive force, a fantastic educator, a genuine person, and he’s decided to retire from it to go back into teaching. Watch his last video and show him some love. youtu.be/AcI-JEzlCao?...
There’s a big mental shift coming for Canadians, to the assumption “water is plentiful”. Between reduced snow pack melt, erratic rains, more water holding capacity in warmer air, and longer summers drying everything out, water simply will not be as plentiful as it was anymore.

I’d like to know the average or the mean value of each LLM inference and it is revealing that this is simply not disclosed by the companies. I recommend reading Ketan Joshi’s entire piece on this, which also looks at the big picture. Super insightful as always.
May his memory fill us all with the resolve to never let this happen again by forcing the government to adequately fund hospitals. That’s what he deserves.

the CBC was founded as a bulwark against US cultural imperialism, to ensure we had canadian news and canadian culture. there should be a renewed emphasis on that mandate, particularly to stop reporting so much on what happens in the US for eyeballs and ad dollars.

MAGA CON Provincial Govts across Canada are fast tracking Healthcare Privatization. Does the Federal Governmant have the toolbox to stop this or not? If the answer is NO, we're totally screwed. If the answer is YES, then why the hell aren't they doing something about it, to prevent it? #cdnpoli
Canada has a problem: we don’t own the data that informs our biggest policy decisions. Writer @vassb.bsky.social explores why we’ve come to accept a system where private platforms hoard core economic intelligence and treat it like business as usual: thewalrus.ca/canada-labour-data/
