Canadian nuclear assets and largest ever public contract being sold to US nuke consortium
The latest bit of craziness that is going under the radar, but we shouldn't let it:
- Background: Canadian Nuclear Laboratories as part of Atomic Energy of Canada used to be a Crown asset ; after $18 billion of public funds it was privatized by Harper for $17 million. Sold to who? good old SNC Lavelin!
- SNC Lavelin recently renamed itself to Atkins Realis, I can't imagine why./s
- Now they are selling Canadian Nuclear Laboratories to a US consortium, along with a huge public 20 year $24 billion contract.
- The US consortium operates nuclear weapons facilities
- WTF?! WTF?! WTF?!
- Elbows Up?
-see petition below - there's more - we haven't discussed the nuclear waste yet...guess where it is going ...not with the money!

How we organize ourselves? - videos.trom.tf/w/33bakFFJQpYRV…
In this video we explain how we organize ourselves: find parking places for motorhome, water, food, supermarkets, or laundromats. In reality it is quite easy.

Strong Evaluation in a Flat World: Resisting the Neutrality of Platforms
Are platform-based evaluations really neutral? Or do they conceal embedded assumptions about what counts as valuable, measurable, or meaningful in education?
In this post, I explore how digital platforms often flatten pedagogical nuance by presenting value-laden processes as objective. I argue for strong evaluation - evaluation that is grounded in explicit ethical, pedagogical, and social commitments.

Canadian companies still supplying components for Israeli military - evidence
New report uses shipping records to prove multiple ongoing Canadian exports of military components to Israel despite government claims to the contrary
"This analysis of commercially-available export data uncovered 47 shipments from Canada-based arms manufacturers to Israeli defence manufacturers between October 2023 and July 2025. Crucially, the 47 direct shipments traced here are only “a glimpse,” not an exhaustive record of all military supplies Canada sent to Israel during this time....
The Canadian government appears to have pursued a strategy of rushing through a record-breaking number of arms export permit approvals to Israel prior to publicly committing to pause approving any new ones. This was then quietly undermined by a series of exceptions and loopholes that were only acknowledged when exposed through media investigations or parliamentary scrutiny."
For Gaza, we set a plate in silence
"This fast will not feed Gaza — but it will remind the world that we are watching. We are feeling. And we are not eating in silence."
