“Spring in Canada is so beautiful” says woman about to experience months of grimy dirt snow on the side of roads
On this International Women's Day, a reminder that intimate-partner violence has tripled in Quebec over the past decade, and the CAQ refuses to allocate the funds needed for adequate shelter space.
This is a systemic failure.

21.1°C in Chamonix today! 🔥🥵
A monthly record for February since at least 1880! 🌡️
Words truly fail to describe such early heatwaves, which are so out of season and detrimental to ecosystems.

CBC / Radio-Canada is broadcasting the hockey semi-finals in Atikamekw, Innu, Inuktitut and Cree - that's what public broadcasters are for!
It keeps getting better and better
Excited to report that every answer to "I know the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into" is giving me an existential crisis
Are the astrophysicists all right
Are you guys all right out there
Is this normal for you
📢Feb 2 is #WorldWetlandsDay! A day to celebrate the world's wetlands, including bogs, fens, and swamps.
Many Ramsar sites are #peatlands but there are large gaps in global cover. For more on this issue, and on peatlands and @ramsar.org, see my new Peatpedia post: open.substack.com/pub/peatpedi...

"Imagine how they lie when there is no evidence to contradict them"
Yep. Very disappointing
I wish the NHL players would do the same (not gonna hold my breath)
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments.
I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite.
Would love to gather any and all other names.

Je fais partie des signataires de cet appel: "Nous exhortons (...) le gouvernement à prendre ses responsabilités et à maintenir, voire à revoir à la hausse, ses cibles de réduction de GES, dans l’intérêt des Québécois et des générations futures, qui porteront le fardeau de notre dette climatique. "
Je regarde tjs les discours avec l'oeil du métier. Le discours est super bien construit, le niveau de vocabulaire est celui des grands moments, il rattache plusieurs fois ses idées les unes aux autres. Il a un télprompteur qqpart à gauche? mais s'en sert bien. Il a une solide équipe de rédacteurs.
But he has the best peat, the most beautiful peat!
Quebec’s Lake Rouge vanished – but was it a freak natural event or caused by human actions?
The US stands alone in dismissing the problem of climate change.
per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing
"we must try to remember the truth" -- so important
In Dec 2025, I published a short comment on whether the emergence of AI has been as revolutionary as other moments of innovation in our species' history (e.g., emergence of technology or agriculture). On balance, current evidence suggests to me that it isn't.

Her "activism" was also deeply rooted in colonialism's legacy and was extremely detrimental culturally and economically to Canada's inuit communities - weird to see so many vegans trying to defend her views
Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

Breaking:
There’s an epidemic of people using Grok to do sexual violence to women on Twitter.
Yet Canadian politicians, media etc have failed to adopt another platform en masse, making it near-impossible to fully disengage and be tapped in to vital conversations and information.
What are we doing.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!
