I wonder if those would fit - the article says that these "replimat-style" mugs are smaller than the Highwave "Quark's" mugs, but I suppose they could have the same base.

I think the critical weaknesses identified in the article are astute: economically vulnerable/disadvantaged people, and disinformation, especially on social media.

It's interesting that they didn't bother replicating (heh) the rubber base of the originals. Too many added costs, I suppose.

I guess we'll know more after the press conference.

I'm hardly an expert, but I think the Navy is in notoriously bad shape, even by Canadian national defense standards.

Ditto for the last Polaris Music Prize short list.

If you have a helpful resource, such as a compilation of Canadian artists in the past year, let me know and I can edit it into this post.

The list of 2025 Juno nominees would probably be a good (but imperfect) place to start.

Is it? Because we seem to be highly dependent on investagative journalists for that sort of thing.

I would argue that we at least have the right to know who they are. In the case of unions, that's certainly the case.

This is good for unions and other above-board groups, but I can't help but wonder how this affects the various "dark money" lobby groups that have unclear ownership, but have been buying political ads across the country.

or is it just like regulation about what can be transported across provincial lines?

That's a big part of it - this is a decent explainer.

 

Sunday's summit was announced earlier in the week to involve European leaders, but it takes on a new focus with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attending, shortly after an explosive meeting on Friday with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.

Canada was not mentioned as one of the countries invited to join the Sunday meeting when British Prime Minister Keir Starmer discussed the event during his trip to Washington to meet with Trump earlier this week.

Steve Hewitt, an intelligence researcher who teaches Canadian studies at the University of Birmingham in England, said the fact that Trudeau is going to the summit sends a message on whom Ottawa sees as its partners.
