NEW: Cancer Pseudoscience and the Cultural Moment I wrote about how cancer quackery often capitalizes on its era of origin's social tensions. In our current moment, a Canadian former doctor and prolific COVID disinfo promotor is the reason ivermectin has become an ever-expanding online scam.

The point of the Senate changes Trudeau made was to restore some semblance of public trust in an institution increasingly seen as a place for political cronies when they tired of the private sector, to live out their days rubber-stamping government legislation, @supriya.bsky.social writes.

here's my latest: "The Senate might forever be boring and hard to get worked up about as a somewhat seemingly anachronistic institution, but anytime a prime minister takes our political institutions backwards, Canadians should pay attention." www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/17/o...

here’s my latest for TVO: “…foreign interference in the Alberta referendum is already taking place and Canadians should be very worried about hostile state actors like Russia as well as previously assumed to be friendly state actors like the United States.” www.tvo.org/article/anal...

Albertans get to discuss their future. We should be very worried If the U.S. is joining in.

Everyone should submit their thoughts and concerns about the expansion of Billy Bishop to handle jets. No matter what questions the government is asking, it's not a done deal, and a flood of public backlash is much harder to ignore than a discouraged public that never raises its voice.

“Public consultation” on Billy Bishop expansion. These survey questions suggest to me that this is a done deal. tc.canada.ca/en/corporate...
