5 yrs after the start of the worst health crisis in memory, there is a national conversation waiting to be had about the roles of the individual, society and the state in such a crisis. What is my responsibility to myself and to my community, and what is the responsibility of the state towards us?

If you’re trying to whitewash your record of inside dealings, remember to use solid hide whitewash, not completely transparent.

More from the same interview.
Here he talks about the violent and dangerous “authoritarian left”.

This guy can never be PM.

This is him speaking candidly in a friendly room. This is the real Poilievre.

Good news out of Toronto: a single-use plastics bylaw has dropped waste by a third, with more reductions planned.

Loads of American Robins in our #YYC backyards - the clear skies overnight and the recent cold has motivated their southern movements. Put a water dish out for them and try to reduce window strikes by drawing curtains, moving feeders >10m from house and marking windows etc. #birds

The golden light of autumn lights up the background for one of our last Yellow-rumped Warbler sightings of the year. #YYC ##birds #migration

‘Gateway to hell’: young reporter’s harrowing two years in besieged Gaza

Entering the Anne Frank stage of the administration I see

Lebanese intelligence agency says it arrested people working for Israel who planned 'terrorist attacks' in the country.

That England has had its three worst harvests on record inside the past five years really should be being treated as a much bigger cause for concern than is currently the case. www.businessgreen.com/news/4520171...

Trump’s “peace plan” for Gaza isn’t peace—it’s an ultimatum. Palestinians are told to disarm, abandon legal claims of genocide, and accept foreign control, while Israel retains the right to “finish the job.” A ceasefire that erases justice is no peace at all, writes @coastsofbohemia.bsky.social.
