It’s less common than a number of other kinds of food-borne illnesses, including salmonella and E. coli. For years, few U.S. cyclospora outbreaks were reported each year. But the number started rising about a decade ago, with a particularly notable spike in 2018 and 2019. Experts attribute the increases to climate change and better detection.

Wow. This is a good result!
"In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has created a new tort of intimate partner violence that will allow people to sue for damages when they have been subject to abuse in a relationship.
"Intimate partner violence is a pernicious social ill deserving of the full attention of the law," the summary of the majority judgement says in defining intimate partner violence.
"Best understood, it is not confined to conduct that inflicts physical or psychological injury, but includes all abusive conduct by which one intimate partner coerces and controls the other, thus depriving them of their autonomy.””

We should have had the advantage of home field as other hosts have before this shared hosting situation at least for the Group and Round of 32/16 games. A third city could have hosted to make it happen.
But other than that, this has been an amazing tournament and Canada has shown itself not only great hosts, but a worthy team!

A former Supreme Court Justice, UN Human Rights Commissioner, and War Crimes Tribunal participant is a strong pick for Governor General.
Louise Arbour is to be named Vice-Regal by Prime Minister Carney, replacing Mary Simon after her 5 year term.
I know Mary Simon attracted legitimate criticism for not being fluent in both official languages. But she was fluent in her own Indigenous language (Inuk), and that in itself was very powerful. She brought her lived experience as an Inuk elder and stateswoman from the remote Arctic shores of Québec to the highest office of the land. She did her job with honour and respect and I believe that is how she should be remembered.
I hope when the next Indigenous GG is appointed, that they are fluent in English, French and their own language... or even better... that it is less of a controversy because we are all more secure in our individualities within Canada.

Lost a bit in the hubbub about Labour losing massively to the Reform UK is this little tidbit:
Wales is using a new proportional representation model!
There are 96 seats in the devolved parliament (Senedd).
There are 16 new constituencies created with six members each.
The 96 seats are allocated by share of the votes for a party, or by votes for an independent candidate.
Scotland already uses a mixed Constituency and Regional member system to get proportional representation in their parliament.
In England these votes are purely municipal/council/mayoral races. I'm not sure if they're proportional, ranked FPTP, or what.
And yet here we are in Canada, too afraid to change to a more democratic system.

Amongst the many overt protests, there are a few subtle USA protests happening in Canada... and there is one subtle one in particular, or at least it feels that way, at its most important and influential fast food chain.
Tim Hortons.
Have you noticed?
Have you seen the commemorative timbits, the buckets and cups?
There are flags for Team Canada, Mexico, Italy, France, Brazil….
no USA flags. none..
It makes me smile.
The Tim Hortons corporation may not be a fully “Canadian” company (RBI is headquartered in Toronto and Florida, and 1/3 owned by Brazil's 3G), but they are "on the ball" enough to understand the Canadian zeitgeist.

This 10 minute “forward guidance” message is worth watching from Carney. It is mostly, but not all, the same talking points. He continues to make suggestions that Canada is moving as quickly as possible from USA trade and other links. There is some strong 1812 symbolism and nationalism toward the end. The video is reminiscent of the pandemic messages from Trudeau but with less immediate emergency and more political re-packaging of previous announcements.
I would give it a B based on a solid message, but still lacking a lot of clarity and concrete, identifiable and accountable actions.

So this beautiful singing of the Canadian anthem by Buffalo fans this week before a game that didn't even feature a Canadian team is special, because it's Americans saying they still love and respect us, their friends.
The feeling is mutual.

Hey Canadians. If you’re experiencing troublesome weather this Canada Day, you should sign this petition, and if you have already signed, thank you, please share it!
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) plays a critical role in protecting Canadians through weather forecasting, severe weather warnings, climate monitoring and scientific research;
Canada is experiencing increasingly frequent and severe weather and climate related events, including wildfires, floods, atmospheric rivers, hurricanes, heat waves, winter storms and derechos;
Weather radar research, observation stations, Weatheradio services and frontline meteorological staff are essential public safety tools, particularly for rural, remote and Indigenous communities;
Recent and proposed reductions to ECCC staffing, research capacity, and public weather services risk weakening Canada’s ability to predict, monitor, and respond to dangerous weather events;
Reliable weather forecasting and climate science are vital to emergency preparedness, transportation safety, agriculture, marine operations and public confidence; and
Canadians deserve a strong, modern and fully supported public weather service.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to
1. Reverse cuts to Environment and Climate Change Canada that impact weather forecasting, meteorological research and climate science;
2. Restore and maintain Weatheradio and other accessible public alert systems;
3. Protect and expand weather observation and climate monitoring stations across Canada;
4. Ensure adequate staffing and long-term funding for ECCC programs, scientists, meteorologists and technical experts; and
5. Recognize weather forecasting and climate monitoring as essential public safety infrastructure.

But barring that I think the situation we have now is perfect.
Canada fought hard, left some blood on the field like a good hockey player, and did better than they've ever done before by a wide margin.
Mexico played one of the best games possibly in the history of football, in without question the best stadium in all of football and can go home proud even as much as it hurt.
And the USA was an absolute disgrace not really because of their players, but because of their President and FIFA.
Really I'd say it worked out extremely well.

Today's email jump scare.
When you haven't updated your contact for the "Prime Ministers" email for two PMs.
go away and stay gone Stephen Harper!
But also... kind of appropriate.
(it was an email about the 24 Sussex reno)

I could be convinced to donate a few bucks to restore a piece of Canadian history and heritage and I'd like my name on the donor list too. That would be a nice Canadian thing for all of us Canadians to do and see, wouldn't it?

This is how far behind and how much of a disadvantage Canadians are at right now domestically.
Walk into Canadian Tire and you can by a 500W "kit” of 4 125W solar panels from $1199. That works out to $2.40 per Watt.
Or, you can go on Alibaba as I just did... search for 400W solar, chat with a (AI Bot probably?) and be offered 36 620 watt "JinkoSolar" panels for $US 2500 plus $3000 shipping which works out to ‎$8,510.88 CAD or $0.38 per Watt.
Our governments and business communities are completely failing us. We are getting fleeced.
Granted I don't know if there would be import duties, but FGS the price difference is totally ridiculous.

Anyone know of this is accurate?
I have been told in the past that one big thing tying Canada to continuing, and expanding, oil production is because of terms in NAFTA (now USMCA) that essentially say every drop of oil must continue until the customer deems otherwise.
If Trump has essentially broken large parts of CUSMA AND has said openly he believes it should end then…
Outside of its own needs, is Canada under any obligation to continue exporting/importing oil and gas products to/from the USA?
Could the end of CUSMA give Canadian climate activists the first real chance to push for reductions in absolute fossil fuel production and a true transition for fossil fuel workers in the industry!?

It is past time for a permanent basic income in Canada.
Now we have a country-level model, in an English speaking country, to start from.

If #spain keeps the pressure on like this they could definitely be up 6-0 by the end of the match.

I am glad that the Qatar player, Assim Madibo, who broke Koné’s leg, sought out Kone immediately in the dressing room to apologize before Kone was taken to hospital.
He seemed genuinely distraught and upset after the tackle.
Some of the people on the Qatar bench need a good slap for their reactions... but on the whole, Madibo reacted in the right way, and that goes a long way to making what happened truly a tragic accident that can happen at any time in professional sports.
I wish Madibo well, and I hope Koné's recovery can be as quick, and complete as possible over the next few months.
And of course, I hope this gives Canada at least some added motivation and drive to get to the knockout stage and really make some noise in this thing!

Both Canada and the USA cancelled events in their national capitals on their national holidays due to extreme weather.
But pipelines!
But Secure, stable, fossil fuel deliveries!
But divisiveness!
But Jobs!

On the Alberni Valley news website. I like their headline better than the title I originally had. : )
