Canada’s universities are broke—and easy prey for consulting firms peddling austerity. @jameshasaface.bsky.social & Kyla Perry investigate the Nous Group, an Australian consulting firm that has earned a name for “restructuring” that cuts jobs, services, and faculties at Canadian schools.

A notorious consulting firm is selling austerity. Canada’s universities are buying ⋆ The Breach

The Nous Group, an Australian consulting firm, has raked in millions for “fixing” universities in financial freefall. Their solution? Corporatization

That was fast. Google sent me a statement saying it is now “rolling back“ this AI feature after our demonstration and others from OSINT researchers www.404media.co/google-earth...

Canadian Ellie Black is the first gymnast, man or woman, to win two Commonwealth Games all-around titles. Her longevity in the sport is incredible. She’s beloved by teammates, competitors and fans. And she’s made more history for Canada.

Visiting Biidaasige Park today (first day of the expansion) was extra sweet knowing the Island Airport expansion is off, at least for now.

One of the things that I think sometimes got lost in the Billy Bishop discourse was that many people who like using that airport (and I put myself in this category) don’t actually want it to be some kind of mini-Pearson on the waterfront

Good morning and happy Sunday ☀️😊🐝

I realize this might seem like an odd story to people outside of academia but it’s not. I mean Jack Mintz doesn’t even live in Alberta. non residential accommodations exist. aufa.ca/blog/2026/7/...

This utter muppet of a conservative Canadian politician in New Brunswick forgot to remove the LLM text from his floor speech and read it out loud.

Besides the fact this is so cute, it’s much a great idea!

Training wheels: This free program teaches Island kids how to ride a bike

I was feeling angry at the world & then I heard the Mayor of CBRM accidentally wrote a reference letter for a Hell’s Angels satellite gang and now I am dyingggg 😂

This is Finn. He likes to ominously stand on his hind legs in the water. We've asked him to stop but he won't. Still 13/10 (TT: firstmatefinn)

NOPE.

Seizing the means of production is extremely satisfying, a thread: So last month I bought a little second hand proof press (a Poco 0). Here she is at the auction house

All this PLUS it makes following sports less fun! I want to enjoy athletic drama on its merits or be won over by an outstanding performance or grudgingly accept that the Jays just don't have it tonight. Gambling steals all of that in favour of obsessively rooting for the outcome I bet on earlier.

When you go to a Blue Jays game every guy around you that’s on his phone is sports betting. The gambling industry in Canada went from $2.75 billion/month in 2019 to $4.25 billion/month in 2025. It’s a massive waste societally and it ruins lives & families.

My four favourite facts about the cockchafer beetle: 1. It's called a cockchafer beetle. 2. It’s also sometimes known as a “billywitch”. 3. It’s unusually loud and clumsy by beetle standards and bangs into lots of things when it flies into your house by mistake. 4. It looks like this, close up.

I love this guy, he does a whole bunch of different accents across Canada. This is the first one I’ve seen from PEI. My mother and grandmother talk exactly like he says in the video. And he does mention that it’s very common in older generations rather than newer. #pei #charlottetown

I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best cattle I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital info about all the cattle in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.
