bsky.app/profile/fair... We absolutely need to move towards proportional representation in Canada. Day after day, election after election, decisions are made that don’t benefit our society. Instead of division and fear, all parties need to work together to improve the lives of all Canadians.

Proportional representation helps prevent this. ✅More women get elected. ✅Decisions are more balanced. The Sask Party’s actions show why we need PR. The Saskachewan NDP and @carlabecksk.bsky.social should be leading this fight for a better democracy. #skpoli #cdnpoli

bsky.app/profile/vond... “So let’s bring Ukraine inside our union…” 🇺🇦 Is the EU perfect? No Does Ukraine deserve the support of a trustworthy ally? Yes Slava Ukraini!

Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu · last yr.

Eighty years ago, enemies laid down their arms. Since then, we, Europeans, have built something extraordinary: a Union of peace, democracy, and solidarity. An anchor of stability. Our Union was born as a peace project, and it remains one today.

bsky.app/profile/know... As someone who appreciates both soy sauce and sake, this is a fascinating read. Science and curiosity about how the world works is a defining aspect of humanity. How sad that so much research that benefits humanity is being defunded and destroyed.

How did a toxic fungus become soy sauce superstar? Scientists think that the domestication of a microbe could go something like this: It exists, along with other microbes, in the wild, where environmental factors such as temperature and humidity vary (bottom left). (1/2)

Graphic shows a diverse group of microbes in the wild; the group eventually becomes a monoculture during domestication.

bsky.app/profile/cmad... This is especially important in light of the fact that provincial governments like Ontario are actively underfunding universal healthcare in favour of paid healthcare. Federal healthcare funding has been diverted and wasted.

It’s national debate week and a big issue is missing in action: health care. The debate producers have ignored Canadians #3 election priority, according to Abacus. With Trump tariffs and affordability concerns, Canadians shouldn’t have to worry about their health care system too. #cdnpoli #elxn45

bsky.app/profile/mari... Why am I not surprised in the least… Green belt corruption, lack of due diligence, and hoping for kickbacks from foreign fraudsters - the Ford government in action!

The NYT just dropped a bombshell: a foreign spa company with one location and no cash landed a 95-year sweetheart deal—based on misleading claims and a secretive, preferential process. This gov't was elected to protect Ontario. Do the right thing. Cancel the deal. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...
