@StephenRees@mas.toThe Federal Court of Appeal delivered two major environmental victories last month. The court found former Fisheries and Oceans Minister Joyce Murray was “procedurally fair and reasonable” when she did not renew licences for open-net salmon pens in the Discovery Islands in 2023. The same court found that the federal government acted well within its purview when it listed plastic manufactured items as “toxic” under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act in 2021.

@chrysn@chaos.socialStarting the year with a drive-by contribution to the hamster time tracker.
I find that noteworthy because I'm going back to the time tracker I enjoyed using until 2018, when due to the project announcing EoL (IIRC) I switched to charmtimetracker.
Now that too is EoL since 2023, but hamster development did continue after 2018, so hey, could have saved myself a lot of annoyance by sticking with the software I like and patching it up where needed.
