    Since 2008, Yale researchers have studied American public opinion on climate change, not as a binary, but with six camps ranging from "Alarmed" to "Dismissive." Since 2014, there's been a major shift, with 6 in 10 Americans now "Alarmed" or "Concerned."

    I ran 5K this Christmas morning, putting me just over 1,000K for the year. Not much for a real runner but for a middle-aged guy who ran his first step 2 years ago, it's OK. I crossed the line listening to one of the few classical pieces ideal for running:

    Seriously, StatsCan? This is a textbook example of misleading data presentation in support of a chosen narrative: Under the headline "English–French bilingualism reaches new heights" we get this chart, suggesting big change .... thanks to a goofy Y-axis.
