Preliminary details in this story suggest an insider actor sent these emails. But the fact that the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security has been notified is interesting. Could simply be covering the bases.
Either way, the leaking private data of MPs is bad.

Bizarrely, for the first time this year, I gave my MA students the opportunity to use AI within parameters so long as they documented and reported their prompts - and only about 5-10% of the class did so. They really don’t like it. Could be a cohort thing and will see if it changes over time.
This requires much thinking--how to adjust to the realities of the mid 2020s teaching environment.
I am lucky as most of these trends are muted at the MA professional school level, but they still exist.

Everything is bad but yesterday I watched my students deliver a fantastic set of presentations on their term projects. Getting to this point was hard and often frustrating for them, but they showed great determination to get it right. I can lead them but they need to do the work - and they did. 🏆

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.
She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.
