For every real position Pierre takes from here to the election like he did today on puberty blockers, he will secure 1 yes vote and lose two maybes. The math will become difficult as a consequence of courting many fringe blocs without ever building a true consensus beyond anger.

If you run any kind of PHP application on your server... it's time to patch. Except... the patch is not here yet.
Some info here: jackalsyn.com/posts/php-up-2โฆ - but disabling upload progress *may* help, it's just not the full fix:
session.upload_progress.enabled = Off

The Honourable Mรฉlanie Joly, Canadaโs Minister of Industry, visited our Montrรฉal team to see how weโre expanding the mission operations, space systems development, and advanced manufacturing capabilities needed to scale Pulsar toward our full 250+ satellite constellation.
Announced today, a $15 million investment from the Government of Canada through the Strategic Response Fund will support Xonaโs $64.8 million project to expand the industrial and operational infrastructure behind Pulsar.

Alberta's separatists gained very little ground between handing in their petition and Monday's vote. And the referendum results illustrate the significance of a legislative change Premier Danielle Smith made in 2025. Check it out:

It was not even democratic! Questions were complex and in some cases ambiguous. Referendum questions should be straightforward so citizens can express their opinion simply, without needing to do research or have special knowledge. A referendum is NEVER binding in our constitution
Albertans picked up a pencil yesterday and answered ten hard questions about our future.
That is democracy at its finest and tonight we talk about what comes next.
Join me live on CTV, Global, CityNews, Facebook, X or YouTube at 6:45pmโ as we go through the referendum results, what they mean for this province, and what comes next.

Well, @ABDanielleSmithโs provincial address tonight probably needs some updating looking at the numbers as they continue to come in.

Reminder that Starshield is the SpaceX business unit for government/defense customers. The Starlink-based constellation owned by the DoD is the Space Data Network (SDN).
Most terminals in Ukraine are not connected via the SDN. They are commercial terminals on Starshield plans paid via various contracts with the U.S., Germany, and others.
I have real reservations about this claim. Starshield is bound by mountains of terms of service between the Pentagon on SpaceX. The idea that Musk just pulled and Office Space in Starlink HQ and told the watch worker to put up a speed gate on terminals around Ukraine sounds like a massive problem for the Pentagon as well as Ukraine. So yeah, I have real questions here.
