Most Canadians "paid 40 and 44%of their income in taxes overall in 2022, @policyalternatives.ca reported last year [WHILE] the 90 to 95th percentile paid only 37% and the 95 to 99th percentile paid just 34% — less than the lowest 10% [of earners]." #inequality www.timescolonist.com/opinion/trev...

A 56 million-year-old fossil bone helps explain how this (mostly) flightless family of birds spread to so many different continents.

Northback is submitting a massively revamped proposal on the Grassy Mountain coal mine which includes a much smaller footprint.

Has Brian Jean sent a letter saying this new proposal still counts as an advanced project yet?

Of course this vile anti-vax anti-autism nonsense Trump and RFK Jr. spew is actually going to make things worse, and I'm not surprised it could actually do the opposite of what they claim it does.

Among the many, many risks of Trump’s anti-Tylenol tirade? According to experts who spoke to @wired.com, an increase in autism rates:
Trump’s Tylenol Directive Could Actually Increase Autism Rates, Researchers Warn
Experts fear that Donald Trump’s anti-painkiller tirade could lead to an increase in risk factors for autism, and don’t trust the administration to assess data as it continues to search for a cause.

An alpine hillside covered with brilliant autumn colors.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
#AutumnColors #EvergreenTrees #NaturePhotography
An alpine hillside at Mount Rainier National Park in autumn, covered with layers of vibrant foliage. Bright reds, yellows, and oranges from huckleberry and meadow shrubs streak across the slope, contrasting with the deep green of dense conifer trees. A tall, symmetrical fir tree rises prominently in the foreground, drawing the eye against the textured tapestry of fall colors. The scene captures the Pacific Northwest wilderness at peak seasonal transition, blending evergreen forests with brilliant meadows of changing foliage.

Historic Sunrise lodge surrounded by pines trees and open meadow under blue sky.

Mount Rainier National Park, WA – 2025
#AlpineMeadow #HistoricArchitecture #LandscapePhotography
A wide alpine meadow stretches across the foreground, dotted with small pine trees and golden grasses. In the center stands Sunrise Lodge, a rustic wooden building with steep pitched roofs and multiple wings, blending into its natural surroundings. Beyond the lodge, a dramatic ridgeline of jagged Cascade peaks rises against a cloudless blue sky, giving depth and scale to the scene. The composition balances the lodge between the open meadow and the rugged mountains, emphasizing both human presence and wilderness.
