Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

The real problem of humanity: we have Palaeolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology

That sentiment has never felt more true, as we try to make sense of an increasingly connected and chaotic world

David Eby will win this fight seven days a week and twice on Sundays.

He's not the one opening the door to separatist referendums and forever blaming Canada for everything that goes wrong in his province.

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

NEW: Trump is moving to kill all funding for proposed Texas and Louisiana mega-hubs to capture CO₂ from the atmosphere

The bipartisan-backed hubs represented a rare clean tech industry where the US was on the cutting edge

All the “there’s no evidence SARS-CoV-2 causes brain damage” takes I’ve seen are weak, unscientific, and often just opinion masquerading as fact.

Let’s break this down with actual facts, rather than mere conjecture. 🧵
Marc Veldhoen tweets: “There was no lymphopenia, no superantigen, no immune damage/dysfunction/exhaustion. There are no large outbreaks of infections.
Furthermore, there are no increases in cancers due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, no compounded risk of longCovid, etc.
Now it is brain damage” Marc Veldhoen tweets: “Sneaky, nobody can see it, and nobody can be aware..... so they will always be right.
They will blame everything and anything on SARS-CoV-2, regardless of its lack of plausibility or the absence of actual evidence.
And all the ZeroCovid accounts are at it!”

Let's be clear tho: Carney abandoned climate change policy as a cynical means to get elected, not because there are other crises.

A decade ago, Mark Carney gave a speech pointing out how biz and political leaders had no day-to-day incentive to address climate change, yet it was up to governments. Today, Carney is leading one, but finds himself consumed with responding to the many crises of the day thenarwhal.ca/mark-carney-...

The final row in the count up to 350,000 riders on Calgary’s 5 St SW Cycle track is complete as of today Oct 6, 2025.

There are 86 days left this year, meaning the cycle track has had an average of 1,255 riders/day.

That sounds like a successful and well used cycle track! 😀

New research shows LNG terminals burn nearly 3× more gas in their first two years, releasing toxic air pollution that B.C. isn’t tracking. Doctors say this public-health blind spot puts frontline communities at risk.
Comment: LNG start-up flaring is a public-health blind spot — and B.C. is ignoring it
LNG terminals burn nearly three times more gas during their first two years of operation than afterward.
