Love this story.

It's so good to see progress being made in many Indigenous communities with projects like this

I am hopeful w the new greenhouse tax credit we will see more projects to ensure communities have access to nutritious food

It's past time for everyone to have access to clean water too

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.

I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU.

And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

Suspicion is on Russia after coordinated sabotage on the railways in the Netherlands.

ProRail said pipes, cables and other materials were deliberately placed on railway lines, causing 30 disruptions across the country. One train struck an object but no injuries were reported.

When ppl regularly post personal political views, they can’t complain they aren’t being treated as trusted journalists.

Yes, even when I agree with them.

I want well researched facts, in an appropriate context, presented to me. I don’t want YOUR take.

Political op ed writers are NOT journalists.

Followed only by electing him the first time.
I said it at the time (and before!), but I truly believe that American voters electing Donald Trump for a second term in 2024 was the dumbest and most self-harming choice made by an electorate in the history of humanity

Ontario is still writing its rules for datacentres.

But Ford's pitchdeck for foreign investors explicitly markets Hamilton’s waterfront for deregulated AI datacentre development, including "sovereign" AI opportunities."

Sovereign AI.
Built for foreign investors.
With no rules.
