You think maybe this is a biggie as far as solar storms go? You'd be right. It is! One of the five biggest of the current solar cycle, SC25. In terms of rate of energy dissipation though it isn't up to the May 10-11 event of 2024. That was a G5-level storm. Stay tuned for tomorrow.

Says a lot about Ford's priorities that his government rushes to pass a bill ending ASE after 20 members of his cabinet get dinged but hasn't done anything in 7 years to properly fund social services like ODSP and Ontario Works so that the most vulnerable members of society can actually live.

The annual World Religions Conference hosted by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at is coming up November 23. I've attended this event several times over the past 15 years or so, and it's a treat every time. The theme this year, Combatting Hate, is more important than ever.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.
