In 2024, I rose in Senate QP to ask why the Govt of Canada was still using X for official communications. Today, they are still there. What exactly will it take to break the spell?
A proliferation of sexual deepfakes on X has prompted other countries to investigate Grok, the platform’s AI software, but, so far, Ottawa remains silent.

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

Green Party Leader @elizabethemay.bsky.social thought Mark Carney was a man of “integrity” who would keep his word.
So when he promised to meet the Paris Agreement targets, she decided she would support his budget.
Just ten days later, his about-face left her with a sense of betrayal:

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Yes. If people remember one thing from my book I hope it's the name of Louise Webster, the co-discoverer of black holes.
She has been written out of the history of science.
She had one of the first successful liver transplants in Australia but sadly died in Sydney at 49.

Canada’s true uniqueness is that every few years we de facto make the leader of the often 1-seat Green Party our supreme authority and it really hasn’t failed yet
Dimitri Soudas, former Harper comms guy, told RadCan this morning that he's hearing Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux will cross the floor to the Liberals today.
If this happens, the Liberals are one seat short of a majority. You know what that means.
That's right.
Elizabeth May is Kingmaker.

I'm not opposed to #ElizabethMay forcing the govt to include environmental protections as the cost of her vote.
Ms May will offer a reasonable pathway to garner her vote. She understands that a minority govt gives her a strong voice as the only Green MP.
Seems like a potential Win-Win for 🟩 & 🟥
