That's a good point! But lol northwestern Manitoba and the eastern tip of Anticosti Island being on a single time zone is objectively nuts.

In any other walk of life, representatives of a convicted felon meeting a man indicted for war crimes to discuss an invasion the UN has delcared illegal would be called a "criminal conspiracy". Not "peace negotiations".

None of this matters ... the military and their families will still vote Republican. It's what they do. Because they're morons.

Breaking News! Code Yikes! On Monday, the global surface temperature reached an anomaly of more than 1.70°C above the pre-industrial baseline, setting a new daily record. The last time 1.70°C was broken was way back on March 20, 2025. Hot times ahead!

This week the 4 biggest publicly-traded Canadian oil companies posted $13.3b after-tax profit in the 2nd quarter ($146m per DAY). Like other global oil giants, they are getting rich from the misery caused by Trump's war. My take in today's @thestar.com: thestar.com/business/opi... /2

thestar.comAre Canadian oil producers cashing in on war?With Canadian oil majors posting blockbuster war-fuelled profits, it's time for an excess profits tax, Jim Stanford writes.

The real Team USA win is the Mariners winning the summer Blue Jays series when thousands of drunk Canadian casuals always pour into Seattle. Slink back to Alberta in shame, invaders.

Happy 4th of July. A huge day in history! The British began the occupation of Paris in 1815 after their victory at Waterloo. Nice of the Americans to celebrate it ever since.

Gotta hand it to the Rogers #Bluejays folks for dreaming up General admission/standing room tickets at #RogersCenter . Cram more people in than there are seats. Was looking ground at all the folks who paid too much for an obstructed view of the game.

So it goes. Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperatures have now set a record daily high for 28 consecutive days. June 26th saw an anomaly of 1.75°C above the 1991-2020 baseline, which is 0.45°C higher than the previous daily record, set at the start of the last strong El Niño in 2015.

I'm working on a theory that the single biggest political problem in Canada is the relative neglect of provincial politics.

The latest global temperature data from Copernicus has the planet at a record daily high on May 13th, likely the hottest May 13th in the last 120,000+ years. And El Nino is just getting started. We live in interesting times.
