The UCP is a far right government, banning books and flags in schools. As well as the teaching of oppression of racial groups. The feds respond not by defending us, but appointing the guy (Malcolm Lavoie) who drafted these Orwellian laws to be a judge. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/73871ad...

Alberta’s new classroom rules won’t benefit students

They amount to censorship of a different flavour rather than outright neutrality

Canadian develops at-home cancer-screening test after doctors said he was too young to get tested

Zed Dhalla didn’t share his cancer diagnosis with his dying mother. But her final words are fuelling his path to recovery.

Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients. This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act. 1/3

APOD Science APOD APOD: 2026 October 5 – M104:… Today’s APOD Archive Submissions Index Search Calendar RSS Education About Discuss   APOD Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. M104: The Sombrero Galaxy’s Tidal Streams Explanation: A deep image of the Sombrero galaxy reveals surprises. M104 is named the Sombrero galaxy because, on shorter exposures , it looks like a hat . A key defining feature of this huge galaxy is a dark brim of dust that circles the disk galaxy’s center. A much longer exposure, however, brings up a hairy past where a bright, hazy halo is revealed that extends well past the central disk and contains many unresolved stars. Surprisingly , in this stellar haze, structures can be seen that include a diagonal ring . These structures and tidal streams provide fresh evidence that M104 had a violent past and is surely the result of collisions and mergers of smaller galaxies. Light takes about 30 million years to reach us from the Sombrero galaxy , which fully spans about 150 thousand light years across. The featured image was taken over seven days in mid-2026 from Namibia . Your Sky Surprise: What picture did APOD feature on your birthday?

On the "Pacific Link" pipeline, the ball is now squarely in the oil and gas industry's court. If the project fails, they won't be able to blame Ottawa for their own refusal to fill it. I suspect that was the prime minister's plan all along. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/02/o...

Canada’s pipeline politicking is about to collide with economic reality

The ball for the west coast oil pipeline — sorry, the "Pacific Link" — is now fully in the oil and gas industry's court. One big question remains: are they actually willing to fill it?

This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

We shouldn’t have to hold press conferences just so people can be treated with basic dignity. Ben is fully dependent and requires wraparound care. Yet he was denied AISH and told he should get a job.

Opinion: Will Alberta's dual-practice model cut surgery wait times — or only for the rich?

18 pictures show how profoundly large our cosmos is

The observable Universe is 92 billion light-years in diameter. These pictures put just how large that is in perspective.

Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky describes the isolation she experienced and the realization that came from finally seeing the scope of the case: “It’s weirdly vindicating to sit here and see in the files like, ‘Oh no, I’m not crazy. This really happened and it happened to so many people.’”
