1/ Inspired by @1goodtern.bsky.social, I've been checking Canadian data. @cihica.bsky.social publicly available is useless. Stats Can is better, but only goes to 2023, because we suck at data in Canada. Nonetheless 👀

Did something hit in 2020 that affected our hearts?!

Media is reporting that #COP30 delegates are appropriately questioning Canada’s commitments to #ClimateAction.

To be clear, we can’t do nation-building, we can’t grow and diversify the Canadian economy and global relationships, and we can’t make Canada strong, if we don’t lead on #ClimateChange.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Did you know the first thanksgiving celebrated by Europeans in North America happened in Canada?
Or that the Indigenous celebrated autumn harvests long before Europeans arrived?
Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving a month earlier than the United States?
This is the story.

New from me! The GE property at 107 Park Street generates more than $500,000 in property taxes for the city each year. That number stands to decrease if a proposal to demolish many of the buildings on the 50-acre site goes ahead.

Why the GE demolition plan could hurt Peterborough's tax base | Peterborough Currents
With fewer buildings on it, the GE property will likely be taxed less. That would mean higher bills for everyone else.

Fundamentally, the reason I avoid Covid is because all - all - of the elements of my life that bring me joy and fulfillment rest on my cardiovascular fitness and / or my cognition. I'm not going to risk a virus wrecking that, as I've seen happen to way too many people I know.

It’s important to take breaks.

To find joy.

To rest & recover.

To check on the vulnerable people in your life who may not be coping well.

To show up for one another.

Refuse to normalize violence, hatred, eugenics, genocide and threats to human rights.

Refuse to leave people by the wayside

I saw a young couple
out for a walk,
on his face
a mask,
and on her arm
a tote bag
the side of which read:
“the world is a better place
with you in it,”
and as this half-masked couple
passed by, it occurred to me
that one of them
carried a sentiment
and the other embodied it.

So while @cupescfp.bsky.social Air Canada Flight Attendants are set to vote on the proposed deal, Air Canada has delayed their pay due to “human error,” which looks a lot like flexing more power over a workforce that can afford it the least and they have been told not to talk about it?
