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!

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?
