I'm still highly skeptical that green hydrogen can be a viable export. Will it really be cheaper to do electrolysis in Canada and ship it abroad in leaky containers rather than building a solar farm or some other renewable energy source and producing hydrogen domestically? Will there even be the global demand for hydrogen to justify such a build out? I guess time will tell but I'm pretty cynical about it

Haha right? It's literally a paper about core--mantle interaction and they go with "THERES GOLD IN THE CORE!" People really only care about geology when it's about finding ore deposits or oil. Except kids, kids love geology because rocks are cool. Adults need to be more like kids when it comes to science.

Not a car person (or a car owner) but this is an exciting project. I really wonder why they still have a "frunk" though. Why not go with something closer to a kei truck with the cab over the front wheels and allow a shorter wheelbase or a larger bed?

Yeah, that's done in the professional organization I'm familiar with and I assume with others too

I think this is a great idea. A professional accreditation that is managed by journalists would definitely help with preventing misinformation and disinformation. Require certain number of years working under a professional journalist and an ethics exam (similar to PEng) to be a "Professional journalist". Then government can legislate rules at the recommendation of this body around whether an organization can be called a "news organization" and is protected by freedom of the press laws. This way the managing body can strip people of their professional accreditation for peddling misinformation and disinformation and general journalistic malpractice.

Ahhh I was wondering if this was Sudbury. I love cross-country skiing but as someone without a car in toronto, opportunities are rare. Is this Lake Laurentian conservation area? I seem to recall hearing that they have groomed trails there.

Looks great, where is this?

I like Makie #JuliaGang

The article discusses this issue specifically and provides a pretty balanced perspective on it. I don't personally blame immigration for the issues we see today and there is a compelling argument that immigration could help us out of these problems, but it really does require adequate government investment in the sectors that need labour (like healthcare)

No worries, keep up the good work!

A little late to the party but there's also the West End Phoenix and The Local

If magazines count, Spacing is a great one focused on urbanism.

Lots of good replies here but I'll respond to this one. It's pretty crazy that striking is illegal for federal workers. I never considered Canada a bastion of worker solidarity but our public sector unions are very strong.

In Ontario a few years back, the provincial government said it was going to pre-emptively introduce legislation to prevent one of the public sector unions from striking. The union responded by saying they would do it anyways. This very quickly spiraled into a threat of a general strike not just from the other public sector unions but also private sector unions. The legislation was rolled back after just one week (Decent write-up here).

So it is surprising for me to hear how the public sector unions in the states are so weak and I'm amazed that such blatantly anti-worker legislation was able to be introduced. In Canada, strong unions and stability of work are some major selling points of government employment and I guess I'm surprised government employees aren't standing up for those benefits. Is there a perception that this will all just blow over in four years and if they can weather the storm, it will work out in the end?
