On this day in 1834, the Slavery Abolition Act came into effect across the British Empire.
Slavery existed here. While the Act marked a turning point, freedom was not granted in a single day.
On Emancipation Day, we honour those whose courage helped make our country freer, fairer, and stronger.

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.
Canadians are great friends! Wherever we are, we are always happy to offer a smile or a helping hand! What is your go-to Canadian friendly habit?๐โค๏ธ #InternationalDayOfFriendship

Many ideas behind modern AI were already taking shape in Geoffrey Hintonโs 1977 PhD thesis.
In this article, @programmingoce explores Hintonโs early work on vision, relaxation, and reasoning under uncertainty.
Youโll see how ideas like competing hypotheses, distributed computation, and optimization resurfaced throughout decades of AI research.

Today, I convened the Incident Response Group to discuss the escalating wildfire situation across our country.
As extreme heat waves and record-breaking dry conditions are creating one of the most intense wildfire seasons in Canadian history, we are mobilising more than 5,300 firefighters and nearly 300 waterbombers, helicopters, and evacuation aircraft to contain, control, and mitigate the fires.
Our government will continue to work closely with provincial, territorial, and Indigenous partners to support affected communities and deploy every resource needed to keep Canadians safe.
57 years ago today, humans first landed on the Moon. The source code that helped get them there? Itโs on GitHub.

Itโs an enormous, complex effort that ultimately depends on dedicated and brave individuals who work relentlessly to keep everyone safe.
With 48 national parks and national park reserves covering over 343,000 square kilometers, thereโs a park for every Canadian! Which National Park is on your Canadian bucket list? ๐๏ธ #ParksDay
Nothing but pride for @CANMNT_Official today.

Thank you to our team, the fans, and everyone who made this World Cup showing our best yet.
The command line looks intimidating until you learn the basic patterns.
In this beginner course, you'll learn how to use the terminal on your own computer.
You'll practice navigating folders, managing files and directories, reading and writing data, and using core commands devs rely on every day.
