Researchers say screen-time limits and individual willpower are not enough to address problematic digital-media use among children and youth. They are calling for governments to regulate platforms and for technology companies to change business models designed to keep users engaged. The proposed Canadian legislation would create a Digital Safety Commission and restrict social-media use by people under 16, with exemptions for companies that show adequate safeguards.
A 2026 federal climate report says warming and related climate changes in Canada are essentially irreversible. The report presents three scenarios for Canada's average temperature: no policies, current policies or carbon neutrality by 2050. The report says extreme cold will become less common and extreme heat more frequent across Canada. It projects glacier loss of about 76 per cent by the end of the century even under the most optimistic scenario.

Alberta mode is a guy from Edmonton commenting on the news, and the guy is a machine. One or two lines an item — what somebody who has lived here his whole life would say reading it out to his mates.
It is not the story. The headline above each comment is the real one, the source link below it goes to the real reporting, and the plain edition is one click away. He is not summarising anything and he is not a reporter; he is the guy at the shop with an opinion about it.
He swears when a sentence wants it. He is rude about council, developers, the province, the weather, the roads and the Oilers, and never about the people in the story. He holds about a dozen opinions that contradict each other and he is fine with that.
Some of it will sit wrong anyway. When it does, that is on us and we would rather hear it than not: [email protected], and we will pull the line.
Two things get no comment at all, and they are not negotiable: anyone charged or before a court, who has a trial coming and is entitled to have us stay out of it, and a suicide. Anything you need to ACT on — a tip line, an advisory, an evacuation — keeps its full text underneath the comment, because a phone number does not go behind a joke.
The plain edition is the record, and it is the default. It is one click away and it is where you should check anything before you act on it.
