NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.

The sucker-mouthed sea lamprey has long been seen as a threat to freshwater fish.

But officials in New England and the Pacific Northwest are now recognizing the vital role lampreys play in keeping rivers healthy and are working to help them recover.

I am glad to hear that the federal government is investigating the impact of Doug Ford’s Greenbelt sprawl agenda on Rouge National Urban Park.

Ontario’s Greenbelt, all of it, is ours to protect. And there is so much worth protecting.

Here's my debunking for @TorontoStar of the false 'labour shortage' doctrine, invoked to justify all kinds of regressive policies: https://t.co/oULeik0z8s. 🇨🇦 has not 'run out' of workers; forcibly creating a cushion of surplus labour for employers will hurt millions. #canlab

Awesome video from @Martin_Lukacs and the fine team at @TheBreachMedia on the unbalanced war against inflation:. Central bankers literally want to make workers poorer, by enforcing permanent real wage cuts to 'fix' inflation that business started. #canlab

My thanks to @LindaMcQuaig who has set out the how Ford is undermining our public healthcare system and making our future uncertain.
Premier Doug Ford should explain why he underfunds public health care https://t.co/co5vjRJ94C via @torontostar

Bank of Cda affirms its commitment to restrain wages👇. After-tax corp profit grew 14% in latest 12 mos, & 12% per yr since 2019. How long can THAT be sustained "consistent with the 2% inflation target"??
Mentions in today's Monetary Policy Report:
"Profit": 0
"Wage": 9

How will diverting publicly-funded surgeries to for-profit enterprises reduce wait times, cost less & not impact public hospital staffing?

Not sure this is a gender issue or ideological, but we agree with @althiaraj on this one. The public is incensed, TV media needs more than cursory coverage. #HandsOffTheGreenbelt

Every word is true. Healthcare is a human right, privatization isn’t the answer. The ON govt sat on billions of fed COVID funding while hospitals closed ICUs, ERs, wards and surgeries.
Wear a mask and tell your MPP to stop the destruction of publicly funded universal healthcare!
