Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.

Letter: Dear Minister Miller, I am writing to you in my capacity as president of the Canadian Historical Association | Société historique du Canada. The members of our association have been distressed to see the recent news about cutbacks in a number of federal government units that are very important to all Canadians who are interested in the history of our country: Library and Archives Canada, the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum, Parks Canada, and Statistics Canad…
Letter: While we cannot expect the federal government to address problems at the provincial level, in your role as Minister of Canadian Heritage, we hope that we can count on you to advocate on behalf of all Canadians to maintain and enhance the role of agencies that collect data and records and make them accessible to broad publics. We recognise that the country faces many current challenges, but we do not want short-sighted decisions to have long-lasting effects on the future study of the co…

Now the US has chosen an admirer of Putin as president, who subsequently halted aid to Ukraine, Europe stepped up, filling most of the gap.

Bar graphs showing that, while US and Europe each provided about 50% of military and financial aid in 2024, US support collapsed to near zero on 2025. Europe almost filled that gap.

Shanghai GP3 400 PAN (FF) English Alt Text: A grainy black-and-white photo of a building with a metal accordion-style gate. Several motorbikes are parked in front.

Claude Sonnet 4.5 describes the image as: "This image shows a close-up shot from what appears to be a British science fiction television production from the late 1970s or early 1980s. The scene features an actor in a cream-colored ribbed turtleneck sweater with a beige vest or waistcoat over it. The styling and costuming are characteristic of the era's television production aesthetics.

Content warning: photograph in linked article shows blood on a steering wheel

The first paragraphs of this article are big news (I think?? IANAL): the FBI tried to shut MN out of the investigation of ICE’s murder of Renee Good, which almost certainly is the start of a cover-up. Minnesota initially threw up its hands and said “well that sucks.”
Today we learn that Minnesota and Hennepin County are still gathering evidence themselves, apparently independently of the FBI. My hope is that this is in pursuit of state charges, in defiance of the Trump-controlled FBI.

My #silentsunday.. I only had a chat with two guys at the summit and one guy a bit below.
Besides that... 4-5h silence. If we don't count the minutes I was following the activities of a woodpecker a couple of meters away from me 😊
It took me really efforts to get out. But - as usual - it was worth it.

The background features a mix of snow-covered ground and green foliage, creating a beautiful contrast of colors and textures. The sunlight filters through the trees, casting a soft glow and highlighting the peac…
