So the PM intended to inform B.C.'s premier once the negotiations with Alberta have been finalized?

Nation-building promised, sausage-making delivered.

Regardless of whether this pipeline will ever be built, the process itself is profoundly damaging.

Yes, there’s an unfortunate typo: it should be « anti-science ».
To be clear: he is in no way a "man in science." The entire premise here is laughable.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

Origins of language, one of humanity’s most distinctive traits, may be best explained as a unique convergence of multiple capacities each with its own evolutionary history, involving intertwined roles of biology & culture.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

La rougeole est de retour au Canada.

Profitons-en pour souligner la contribution d’esprits éclairés qui ont fait de la vaccination un « choix personnel » et alimenté les craintes des parents.

Merci tout particulièrement à Pierre Poilievre, Danielle Smith et Éric Duhaime.

It's Friday. This means it is time for a new post on #Autism : The Evidence. If you missed last week, I discussed what is TRULY behind the rise in prevalence. Today I am going to talk about what it is not: #VACCINES . They are SAFE and EFFECTIVE, but where did this idea come from?
