"The data suggest that despite historic wrongs, Indigenous Canadians today are not hostages to a systemically racist economic system — they can and do prosper. When Indigenous Canadians obtain the same level of education and work the same number of hours in the same city as non-Indigenous Canadians, their incomes are broadly similar." @mattlau10

Data shows education, location, and full-time work largely explain the differences between Indigenous and non-Indigenous workers' incomes — not “systemic anti-Indigenous racism” (as the gov't claims) nationalpost.com/opinion/matthe… via @nationalpost

Orcas eat great white sharks. They hunt seals, dolphins, and baby whales. They have never killed a single human in the open ocean. Not once, in all of recorded history.
An orca's brain weighs up to 15 pounds. Yours weighs about 3. They have roughly double the brain cells we do in the regions that handle complex thought. A neuroscientist at Emory named Lori Marino put an orca brain in an MRI and found these animals can tell different species apart underwater. They do it by sending out clicks that bounce off everything around them and come back as a kind of 3D sound map (this is called echolocation). From 500 feet away, an orca knows you're a human and not a seal. It skips you on purpose.
The answer is culture. Orcas around the world are divided into at least 10 separate populations, each with its own food rules, its own language, and its own way of hunting. All of it learned from their mothers. One population eats only fish. Another eats only marine mammals like seals and sea lions. These two populations can live in the exact same water and never swap a single meal. A baby orca learns what food is from its mother, and that list stays the same for life.
In the Pacific Northwest, one population called the Southern Residents eats almost nothing but Chinook salmon. Scientists have documented them killing harbor porpoises 78 times over six decades, carrying the dead porpoises in their mouths, and never once eating them. Even when the group was starving. A 2023 study in Marine Mammal Science looked at all 78 cases and concluded it was play. These orcas would rather go hungry than eat something their culture says isn't food.
Researchers studying whale behavior in 2001 found that orca cultural traditions "appear to have no parallel outside humans." Each family group has its own dialect, its own version of the language. Calves spend about two years just learning how to make all the sounds their family uses. Mothers will slow down a hunt on purpose so their young can watch.
In 2005, a 12-year-old kid was swimming in Helm Bay, Alaska when an orca came at him full speed. At the very last second, the orca seemed to realize it was charging a human. It bent its entire body in half and turned back to open water. In captivity, it goes differently. SeaWorld's Tilikum killed three people during his life in a concrete tank. Research from 2016, published in the journal Animals, traced it to psychological collapse from being locked away from the family bonds orcas need to stay stable.
I think calling this a "mystery" undersells the science. Orcas decide what to eat based on culture, not instinct. No orca mother has ever taught her calf to hunt humans, so no orca hunts humans. Only about 75 of those salmon-eating Southern Residents are still alive. Their pregnancy failure rate is 69% because we've destroyed their salmon runs. They won't break their food culture to survive. Whether we care enough to protect theirs is the part that actually matters.

One of the biggest mysteries to me is how Orcas, the ocean’s most efficient predators, have never attacked humans in the wild… almost like they know something we don’t.

@springfield1952 Volgens media en Save The Children zijn deze kinderen uit Afrika niet belangrijk de focus moet enkel op palestijnse kinderen gericht zijn. 500 duizend kinderen in Afrika gaan jaarlijks dood door oorlog, honger, ziekte en dit soort praktijken, aandacht 0%, humanitaire hulp weinig

@springfield1952 Um, HIDEOUS as things in that country UNQUESTIONABLY are...

‼️ JUST IN:
Israeli security forces intercept a major infiltration attempt, discovering 60 Palestinians hidden inside a garbage truck.
The driver was detained for questioning, and all suspects were taken into custody by police and the Israel Defense Forces.
This is both disgusting and what extent to which they will go to carry out terror attacks.
Stay connected, follow @MOSSADil.

Imagine being fully conscious but unable to scream.
This was Millie Taplin’s 18th birthday. One "vodka lemonade" from a stranger turned her hands into claws and her body into a prison. She couldn’t walk, talk, or move—but she knew everything that was happening.
As a cardiologist, I see the hidden side of this. It’s not just "getting too drunk." These drugs (GHB, Rohypnol, Ketamine) are designed to hijack your nervous system. When mixed with alcohol, they can cause:
Paralysis while you’re still awake.
Seizures and respiratory failure.
Cardiac arrest from the extreme stress on your heart.
The Golden Rules of the Night:
Never accept a drink you didn't watch being poured.
If you feel "too drunk" for what you’ve had—ACT FAST. Tell a friend.
Use the "Ask for Angela" code at the bar.
Your life is worth more than being "polite." Share this to protect someone tonight. 🛡️

One of the most important videos.
You wanna make up conspiracies about “Jewish money”?
Why don’t we talk about actual Arab money?

Jessica Simpson, formerly Jonathan Yaniv — a man who took female estheticians to the Human Rights Tribunal for refusing to wax his balls — has just filed his 16th complaint with the tribunal against Kari Simpson, a political activist in B.C.
This time, he says he’s a member of the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIPPAA+ community. He’s also claiming he’s indigenous.
This is the same tribunal that recently fined former school board member Barry Neufeld $750,000 for speaking out against gender ideology. They said he caused injury to dignity of the BC Teachers’ Federation and Chilliwack Teachers’ Association.
Yaniv has also filed 8 (and counting) human rights complaints against myself.
