Very sad news. Cc: @antongerashchenko.bsky.social

This petition to the federal government demanding transparency and accountability for data centres across Canada needs more signatures to get presented in the House. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

A fine corporate citizen. “The Newfoundland and Labrador government confirmed Tuesday that it was still trying to collect outstanding fees from EverWind Fuels for Crown lands set aside for the company's proposed wind-hydrogen operation on (the) Burin Peninsula.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

And most importantly, morality is not transactional.

This is the way.

The same, for far too long, could have been said about women.

This is looking grim

What were Blois and Fraser told about EverWind’s plans on Sept. 3? I hope journalists are checking all of the paperwork (meetings, construction permits, etc) on the data centre so I can stop assuming the public was the last to know about this seemingly done deal of EverWind hosting Anthropic.

Banning journalists and media outlets you don’t like is straight out of MAGA’s playbook. And any politicians there to support EverWind who didn’t object to this or walk out are complicit.

I live in her riding. If a red cardboard box ran in the next election, it would be our next Liberal MP. Only once since 1993 (and when Alexa McDonough led the NDP), was our MP not a Liberal. When she was made minister, I attributed it to a politically green Carney’s sparse knowledge of his MPs.

Israel retaliated against allies that broke with it over Gaza while pouring millions into foreign influence. Israeli-linked networks targeted Canadian politics and media, while figures tied to Israel trips became prominent voices in Alberta’s separation movement. #Cdnpoli

From Facebook, Halifax Forum Community Association says Fillmore has asked Halifax Hawks board to help him change council’s decision on redevelopment of the Forum.

Two guaranteed things 47’s social media gatekeeper won’t print off for him this morning: Liberals win three byelections, and this cartoon.

In Canada, Lake Ontario also comes in chocolate flavour. Much nicer than orange sour.

That time we all agreed with Tim Houston. #LakeOntario #FDT

Gift article. What an amazing life. And how many people can you say this about: Everyone loved her. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/a...

Police in Amsterdam are asking the public to help ID a man who suffered a catastrophic brain event 3 yrs ago & can’t tell them who he is. He’s likely Canadian or American, was a street magician, Buddhist & some locals knew him as Chris the Canadian. Scroll link for English version shorturl.at/6AhcU

Adding fool to the fires.

From a public post from his sister: the poor soul who ran through Hwy 102 traffic till he was hit by a truck Fri. was suffering fr severe depression brought on by brain injuries from his pro boxing career. I hope the media writes about him (he’s on life support, she said) & why the system failed him

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social

This is a GoFundMe for the exceptional young woman killed in the Bridgewater fire. May her family find courage in the days ahead and comfort in her remains being returned home. gofund.me/926dc9def

For the news sites I looked at that don’t have this up yet, eight hours after it was announced: Long-term care workers reach tentative agreement, will return to work as early as Monday

Power outage affecting all the traffic lights at Windsor St, exchanges. You-go-I-go madness over all those lanes/four-way intersection.

Or, better yet, just a president no one wants to shoot.

Quite the ❤️ for Premier Houston from Canada’s fossil fuel queen.

A drone that brought food to Ukrainian Defenders on positions, brought back passengers - a cat and dog. They flew 12 kilometers during their evacuation. The Defenders of 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade are taking care of them.

Now is the time to show us your good, America. Get rid of Trump and stop the bombs.

ICYMI, unpaywalled Globe article from two weeks ago. Anyone under the command of an insane war criminal should not be allowed to use Canadian airspace. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

“There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.” - Garrett M. Graff, author/historian

The real focus of stories about this Trump post should be about his rapidly escalating unfitness to be president. Hopefully some major U.S. media outlet will have the courage. He needs to be removed immediately.

1. Photojournalism is so, so important. Pictures really are worth 1000 words. 2. We don’t need to do stylistic photo shoots of fascist pricks who regret nothing!

The last of the magnificent “Trimates” - the trio of women who dedicated their lives to studying/helping the great apes - has died. Lithuanian-Canadian Biruté Mary Galdikas was never as famous as Goodall or Fossey but her work was groundbreaking. 2023 interview: www.pressenza.com/2023/12/biru...

Ukrainian-born OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky has died aged 43 after a long battle with cancer, the company said on March 23.

Tim Houston posted his congratulations on social media in 2022 and 2024 when Nova Scotia native Ben Proudfoot won each of his Oscars. Crickets so far on Tamara and Shane.

“When we met with (Coun.) Morse, she told us it would take a “very compelling argument” to vote against staff’s recommendation, as though community memory and historical significance – something required by HRM’s street-renaming ordinance – aren’t compelling enough.” web.archive.org/web/20260313...
