When is True North not Juno news?

No one knows!

But today, True North suggested that the Feds should pay for education because immigrants & Nicolaides only pushback was because he wouldn’t want to give the Feds more control.

The more things change…?

Breaking | Canada-Pakistan Trade Update: Canola Exports Resume
Excellent news for Canadian canola growers - Pakistan has officially reopened its market to Canadian canola exports after a three-year suspension. The ban, which began in 2022, was due to regulatory delays in approving genetically modified (GM) crop imports.
On October 22, 2025, Pakistan's Department of Plant Protection approved several GM canola varieties, allowing import licenses to be issued to local buyers. This milestone follows strong diplomatic efforts from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Global Affairs Canada.
Pakistan was once a key market, importing up to 1.35 million tonnes of Canadian canola annually. The renewed access marks a significant boost for Canada's agriculture sector and strengthens bilateral trade relations.
Sources: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), Global Affairs Canada, and the Canola Council of Canada.

Nanotyrannus Controversy Solved

One of the things I like about following paleontology news is that new evidence can just be discovered, and sometimes these new pieces to the puzzle can significantly change what we think about past life. One such controversy I have been following for a while is whether or not small specimens of Tyrannosaurus rex-like dinosaurs

Another big jump in atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa: based on daily values, the October average was ~425.0 ppm, that's 2.6 ppm higher than last year.

"US government is closed; site not updated", so we'll have to rely on the automated data collection for now.

The origin of the phrase "pulling himself up by his own bootstraps" was meant ironically -- it's impossible.

It was meant to convey that we are all dependent on each other for success, since no one could "pull himself up by his own bootstraps."

Seems like some folks may have missed the point.
