Wow!

A question from the Western Standard backfired yesterday when they tried to ask Chiefs if the Chiefs had engaged with separatists to hear their concerns…

And ended with UCP MLA Scott Cyr being named directly as an alleged separatist!

More insults from Drumpf, this time about the 4 species of Asian carp that escaped from pens in the US of Russia, and are now threatening the Great Lakes.
Canada tests for them in 34 locations in Lakes Erie, Huron, Ontario & Superior.
Drumpf should fix *his* problem.

My fav claim about the federal spending power is that it lets feds intrude on provincial areas of jurisdiction by "abusing their power of taxation"... as if provinces don't have taxation powers.

Reality: provinces keep their taxes low on the backs of their demands for federal money!

Honestly, I am absolutely disgusted by academics suggesting that AI can do the reading and writing for you. At a certain point, what you're bragging about is fraud. And in a broader sense, what you're contributing to is the erosion of knowledge and the destruction of trust in academic publishing.

"AI will let us turn PhDs from 4 year degrees into 6 month degrees!"

Literally shitting on the part that makes it intellectual development. It requires things like *reading* for yourself and *writing* for yourself. Those aren't chores, they're part of skills acquisition and critical development.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

β€˜Hi’ is most likely a variant of β€˜hey.’

β€˜Hello’ is not related to either.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to youβ€”it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

This affirms my initial read of Dhanraj’s complaint. He wanted a job he didn’t have and the CBC didn’t appreciate that he was more interested in that job than the one he’d been assigned. Instead of quitting, he cried foul (Which wasn’t very β€œnew right” of him, ironically.)

Travis Dhanraj appears to be testifying that the CBC had chief political correspondents who got to be senior political correspondents, and that he more or less kept trying to ignore that internal heirarchy in order to do a job they didn't seem to think he had, from what I can tell

The Sask Government wants SaskPower to build nuclear reactors for 2035.
Currently Saskatchewan has about 5GW of electricity generation.
Take a look at what Bladeofthesun says about British nuclear power ambitions, in comparison to Sask's power needs.
