if you can't be in a coalition with people you disagree with on at least a few things, you can't build a coalition big enough to accomplish anything in the United States or defeat rising fascism.

It’s just not going to work.

International Students are Coming to Canada Dreaming of a Better Life. Many Are Leaving Disillusioned and In Debt.

The dream of Canada sold to students by predatory recruiters and private education institutions doesn’t measure up to reality. #canpoli https://pressprogress.ca/international-students-are-coming-to-canada-dreaming-of-a-better-life-many-are-leaving-disillusioned-and-in-debt/

Politico - A pervasive sense of fear has settled in at the highest levels of the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden’s reelection prospects, even among officeholders and strategists who had previously expressed confidence about the coming battle with Donald Trump. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/28/democrats-freakout-over-biden-00160047?nname=playbook&nid=0000014f-1646-d88f-a1cf-5f46b7bd0000&nrid=c00999ed-95f4-4bf4-ac82-11dc95f6dc6a&nlid=630318

Voici comment le Québec devrait s’adapter pour survivre aux changements climatiques

Si le Québec veut survivre aux changements climatiques, il devra accélérer la protection de 30 % des terres et des eaux sur son territoire et mettre à jour rapidement le Code de construction du Québec pour tenir compte des changements climatiques

The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency discovered that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and Public Safety Canada lacked a tracking system for monitoring who received and read specific intelligence on foreign interference, leading to accountability gaps. CSIS’s distribution of intelligence on political foreign meddling during the last two general elections was inconsistent, with unclear decision-making processes affecting information flow. (1/2)

An answer to a 100-year-old puzzle. I say an answer, because there is still part of the question that's open.

Amid a roadkill epidemic, California builds world’s largest wildlife bridge
The construction is meant to give threatened animals a path over a 10-lane freeway instead of through it, hopefully extending their lives and their habitat

Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

Today’s issue – in honor of AAPI heritage month – revolves around what it’s like to be an Asian journalist in Ukraine.

... in a weird way, I found it liberating.

Got this shot while fishing this morning. I'm really happy with it. Not bad for a quick phone shot.

I noticed the other day that sword on this statue in Square Philips was rubbed gold.
This made me wonder if there are any other statues in #Montreal that get rubbed, and if not, what should we be rubbing?!

Today Hamas shot rockets directly into civilian areas of Tel Aviv. They were intercepted, but a few things are important to note:

1. The timing of these attacks was not random. It's the Jewish holiday of Lag B'Omer. Using a holiday as your day to attack is a provocation.

2. To those who say Hamas is gone, or poses no threat, shooting rockets into a civilian city should prove otherwise.

3. To those who say Hamas is toothless or has no resources, shooting rockets into a city should prove otherwise.

4. To those why say that it's not a problem because Israel is able to defend itself, I ask if shooting a gun at someone is morally okay if they are wearing a bullet proof vest.

5. To those who say that this post is a justification of any military action in Gaza, it's not. It's about Hamas and its actions and motivations.

« L’anglais, ce serait la langue de la diversité, de l’ouverture. Parler anglais, c’est être moderne et ouvert, c’est être de son époque. » Lutter pour sa langue appartiendrait au passé, un combat ringard, une excuse pour justifier la xénophobie. C'est pourtant Un combat pour tous ceux qui croient à la diversité du monde. https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2024/05/25/se-battre-contre-soi-meme-pour-la-survie-du-francais

RT: Our group from Dalhousie University in Halifax recently lost contact with a buoy that was monitoring seismic activity in the St. Lawrence River. The last position report had it offshore Mont-Joli, being blown south-west towards Rimouski. We think it may have washed up on shore. We are offering a $5000 reward to anyone who finds this instrument and brings it back to UQAR or some other storage site from where we can retrieve it. Graeme.Cairns@dal.ca
