More Than 100 Gazans Have Been Accepted to Canadian Universities. Canada Isn’t Letting Them In.
See a map of the graduate programs they're planning to attend, if the government finally processes their visas

A reminder a Japanese KEI carries move cargo in terms of space than your bloated GMC or Ford Ranger pick up
Yet another pedestrian killed by the driver of an oversized pickup. It's time to regulate the size of large pickups and SUVs before they kill more of our neighbours. Vehicles this size offer no practical utility over smaller counterparts.

Great points by @ldobsonhughes.bsky.social here. Canada cannot be a global leader in line with Carney's vision without the personnel to do the crucial work of diplomacy.
These layoffs target the very people who would staff Canadian nodes of the flexible network Carney proposes.

Over at @thestar.com, @ldobsonhughes.bsky.social asks how cuts to Canada's public service, and Global Affairs Canada in particular, align with the visions and goals of the Carney doctrine:

Mark Carney says we need a new global order. So why is he cutting Canada’s most vital tools to build one?
Cuts to the public service will weaken our capacity to build new alliances.

it's not that serious but you can still find roger ebert's 4 star review and contrast it with pauline kael's negative review if you want to see how much was lost when artistic tastemakers, flawed as they were, got replaced by yelp for da movies

Deeply fond of these trains but on the whole I’m glad they’ve finally been retired, given their complete lack of any accessibility. Frustrating that a lot of foamers completely ignore that.
56 years after the first 'Blue Goose' entered service on the electrified interurban railways connecting Sydney with the Blue Mountains and Gosford, the last in-service run of a 'V set' will be on January 30th.

The final V-set train service will wind its way over the Blue Mountains to Sydney in two weeks, marking the end of an era for a workhorse of NSW’s railways.
