I’ve finally left Twitter after recent unfortunate political events in a certain country. I’m on Bluesky with the same handle.

Don't forget! 2pm ET I go LIVE on my YouTube channel with Dr. @SeanCarleton of @umanitoba to directly confront the racist, hateful & harmful rhetoric & misinformation spread by residential school denialists. https://t.co/scADCBBzui
Send us your questions ahead of time or ask them LIVE. @TorontoMet #TRC #reconciliation #indigenous #residentialschools

@CollectingTrek Marginally better. Still bad IMO.

@MissionLogPod Actually Star Trek Day was on Sept. 6. It made its world debut in Canada that day in 1966 😉

[jmichaelshires @jmichaelshires]

@FactTreks @inglorioustrek @larrynemecek Fun fact - Star Trek debuted in Canada on Sept. 6.

Despite 2023 marking the hottest year on record, corporate broadcast news decreased climate coverage by 25%.

What the fuck. Is it just that they're owned by the billionaire class which prioritizes a docile ignorant public over a livable planet? Or do they simply not care

Two Regina screenings of Israelism. This week at the UofR. Not to be missed. Lets lift up the work of anti-zionist Jewish organizations and Jewish people working in solidarity with Palestine!

@BruceMcCurdy @edmontonjournal Was McDavid’s Captain’s Skate in September a factor in the awful start to the season? A few players were injured (but we’re not sure if all those injuries happened before, during or after the skate). Was it too rigorous a workout? It clearly didn’t have the desired effect.

Release of the Saskatchewan Indigenous Subject Headings https://t.co/5aSfakyqMH

The goal of the project was to work with Indigenous Peoples to determine what terms are preferred and then translate those terms into subject headings to be used by libraries in the province.

@inglorioustrek I’m Canadian and watched Starlost in reruns in the 70s. It had much potential and it’s got TOS ties. A somewhat forgotten pre Star Wars sci-fi show. Perhaps a future podcast about Starlost?

[University of Regina Faculty Association @UofRFA]

This week, URFA President @brittdhall accompanied Gwen Grinyer to the Legislature as her impact statement was read during the Notwithstanding bill debate. It's important that we stand together against this government's move to violate the Charter rights of 2SLGBTQ+ students.

[Sean Tucker @SeanTucker16]

1. Blistering take by @TheEconomist on SK plan to invoke the notwithstanding clause:
"On October 10th Scott Moe, the conservative premier of Saskatchewan, Canada’s breadbasket province, summoned lawmakers back to their legislature two weeks early to deal with an emergency...

[jmichaelshires @jmichaelshires]

I am speaking out against Scott Moe's misuse of the Notwithstanding Clause. His abuse of power poses a grave threat to the rights and freedoms of everyone in Saskatchewan, especially vulnerable transgender children.

Will you join me? #skpoli #skleg

[Marc Spooner @drmarcspooner]

Saskatchewan now has an American style extreme religious authoritarian government coming for our rights & freedoms— children & youth now, who & what is next? access birth control? Access to abortion?
What’s next for this new SaskParty/Saskatchewan United Party coalition gov?🤮

[Jeff Walters 🇨🇦 @JeffWaltersSask]

The cities of #yqr and #yxe together comprise almost half the population of #sask yet will only have 26 of 61 seats in the Legislature according to the new 2024 boundaries.

Rule of the minority.

Folks, we can do better.
