It's just sad. I already avoid Kananaskis on weekends due to the traffic from Calgary. Over 9,000 visitors per day to this resort is just crazy.

'I would like to think that pressure applied by the political executive is not the reason why the NRCB has erased its own history of robust environmental impact assessments on major recreational projects in Alberta. Sadly though, all signs point to political interference from the Minister’s office.’
😞 'a new base lodge, hotel, brewery, spa, commercial shopping street, condominium development & much more.
With 8 aerial lifts, 6 surface lifts, and supporting infrastructure for activities ranging from zip lining to glamping to mini golf, the plan hopes to attract up to 9,650 visitors per day.'

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

New study showing that the risk of developing long COVID in children more than doubles from first to second infection. Also some specifics about which organ systems are involved.

In this post my colleague Shaun Fluker provides an important critique of the All Season Resort Act & the truly exceptional provisions that exempt new all season resort proposals (e.g. Fortress) from otherwise applicable rules. @albertawilderness.bsky.social

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff

The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items

When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"
Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

🚨Must read/listen: “After COVID infection, the immune dysfunction usually…lasts a few months, & then it does begin to recover. But…people are often catching COVID more than once a year. And that would keep you in a permanent state of immune dysfunction…because you just keep adding infections…”

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.

"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.
Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

We should pressure the feds to make sure the provinces are doing their jobs.
Because that's easier than us pressuring our provincial governments to do their jobs, I guess.

The more that Premiers are influenced by conspiracy theorists to say 'no' to public health/vax efforts, pretending "too expensive" the more I wonder if Feds shld be directly supplying 'regular' public health efforts.
So prov can't say "We don't have $ or the will to get them to those who want them."

Appears a hacking epidemic is happening over in the Birdcage. A number of mid range accounts - including Frank Graves of EKOS - have been hacked, & the hackers have, at least in some cases, attempted extortion against the OG account holder.
