Work is set to begin soon at Ontario Place to build Therme's megaspa. More than 800 trees will be cleared, renowned landscape architecture will be levelled, and we'll lose access to the public space on the West Island for 95 years.

As a housing researcher, it’s clear to me that there’s virtually nothing in this bill that will make housing more affordable to low/moderate income households & lots that will result in any new housing being very expensive.

This is a terrible bill, minister & most people know it

I just listened to Markham Council’s meeting about Bill 23. Sobering. Markham staff estimate that Markham taxes will have to rise by 80% to pay for all the new infrastructure if Bill 23 is implemented.

Hi Tweeps,
I'm having fun boiling down scientific discoveries into a single plot. Someone asked if I can thread them, but instead I am hash-tagging them so you all can find them
'Often a major scientific discovery can be boiled down to a #singleplot in a paper.'

Oldies but goldies: C Huygens, Horologium Oscillatorium sive de motu pendulorum ad horologia aptato. 1673. First rigorous study of the motion of the pendulum (he also invented the pendulum clock), showing it is not isochronous. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_…

Oldies but goldies: J. Duchon, Splines minimizing rotation invariant semi-norms in Sobolev spaces, 1976. Thin plate spline is one of the most popular data interpolation methods. Its solution can be written in 2D using the r^2*log(r) radial basis function. github.com/dill/duchon-ty…

This is my first time to publish at Science Magazine!🔬 We show that quantum machines🤖 can learn exponentially faster about the physical world🔭. Coincidentally, today happens to be my birthday😋 and this is the one of the coolest present I got🎁 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Unless we achieve immediate, drastic, unprecedented, annual emission cuts at the source then that means we’re failing when it comes to this climate crisis.
“Small steps in the right direction”, “making some progress” or “winning slowly” equals loosing.

Only Annamie Paul - of all leaders - is talking about what is actually required in a #ClimateEmergency . Only Green Party of Canada have any credibility on real #ClimateAction .... #GPC #Elxn44 nationalobserver.com/2021/08/25/new…

Researchers have found that parts of the Amazon have been transformed from a carbon sink to a carbon emitter. Governments are enabling the destruction of the very forests we so desperately need to protect.

.Green Party of Canada said we couldn't support Climate Accountability Bill C-12 without significant amendment. Proposed amendments were rejected, and the Bill remains largely the same. I hope NDP will join us in voting this inadequate Bill down. #cdnpoli

The gas industry is paying Instagram influencers to promote gas stoves. Yes, you read that right! So Allana Harkin becomes an induction stove influencer to draw attention to the harmful effects of cooking with natural gas. Featuring Brady Seals and Heidi Harmon 🌹🌹🌹!

Thank you! Glad to be affiliated with this university today.

“Scandalous inequity”

As wealthier countries like Canada begin to vaccinate kids and low-risk populations, health workers and other vulnerable groups in poorer countries remain unprotected, suffering disproportionately from a pandemic with no end in sight

It’s striking how momentous this editorial is in our political context & how 💯 non-news it is in peer-reviewed info.
