- “The money, the resources, can stay in the ground until we have more favorable benefits.” #mining #Yukon www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
- It’s comical to see politicians blame the end of denominational schooling for a decay in the moral fabric, when those schools and churches committed the most horrific crimes and abuses. The notion that Xians have any special claim on social morality is risible. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
- It’s clear that the US is no “safe third country” and given the historic connections of Canada and Haiti and our large Haitian population, we should be prepared to accept any refugees we can from this repressive fascist regime.
- In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...
- Reposted by Arn Keeling"the EPA announced it would no longer calculate the economic benefits of lives saved when setting limits [on pollution]...From now on, the agency will only tally the costs to industry. The benefits to human beings? Too uncertain to count, according to the EPA."
- It’s helpful to see the economic and social return on investment of Memorial discussed here. Wish the article had more explicitly noted the source of these economic woes: the systematic underfunding of the university by the province over the last decade-plus. #nlpoli
- A century of oil production at Norman Wells coming to an end. Now to face the reclamation of a century’s worth of pollution and impacts on Sahtu lands at the site. Fortunately, Sahtu communities have been preparing for this for a few years now. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

- Oh no! We’re won’t be part of the international order of Emiratis and dictators and stooges planning the renovation of Palestinian homelands into shittier versions of Atlantic City? Quel dommage!

- It’s almost as though governments in 🇨🇦 should invest in (read: restore) comprehensive funding for education! The public ROI for higher education is off the charts, would make any investor blush—look at GDP contribution. www.international.gc.ca/education/re...

- Reposted by Arn Keeling“The collapse of the AI bubble is going to be ugly…AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector & tech monopolists run amok.“ Read this article by @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy. Whether you agree with it all or not, it’s important.
- Carney’s always talking about diversifying markets for 🇨🇦 products. Here’s an opportunity to do so, aid a long-time hemispheric friend, and tweak the nose of the bully. apple.news/Awka8tE_8S7O...
- @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social as a philosopher is your Spurs support an experiential exploration of the nature of suffering? (I certainly don’t even have that excuse)

- Reposted by Arn KeelingAs I began researching health outcomes from the Cassiar asbestos mine, I was struck by the lack of documentation. There were plans to track former workers in the ‘70s, but those efforts appear to have gone nowhere. Second in a @thetyee.ca series: thetyee.ca/News/2026/01...

- For those keeping track of fun geographical facts, Nuuk is only 1800 km due north of St. John's, NL. Will we see Nato warships in the harbour soon? #nlpoli

- The problem of extractive boom-bust cycles is well known. We have a long history of this in Canada & the ruined ghost towns to prove it. Diamonds saved Yellowknife from going off a cliff in the 2000s after the end of gold mining. What will save NWT now? www.bnnbloomberg.ca/tariffs/2026...
