Highway 413 threatens 29 species at risk. I went to see what Ford is willing to destroy.
Tell Doug Ford to cancel Highway 413 now: https://t.co/aI7nI1PpEZ
@MarkJCarney Thank you so much for having the vision and the political balls to make this happen for our country. It will be a an amazing residence worthy of Canada’s international position and a wonderful architectural legacy

The Tartan Army are a credit to Scotland. Here they are in full voice singing ‘Loch Lomond’ in Boston Stadium last night for the World Cup match between Scotland and Haiti. Absolutely glorious.
The bag of milk, the shoes at door… Whoever made this will win an award, probably a few. I’m sobbing, this is beautiful. This is who we are. We’ve welcomed the world for almost 140 years. We’re made for this moment. #CanMNT#FIFAWorldCup
Bees are responsible for pollinating about one in three bites of the food we eat. They are far more important to humans than any AI tool or data center.
Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.
When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.
They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.
In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.
The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.
We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.
Ignoring the Canadian Census isn’t harmless. It shortchanges your own community. When people don’t respond, Stats Can undercounts your area, and that translates into lost funding, fewer services, and weaker representation. You’re essentially kneecapping your own neighbourhood.
