There’s a global boom in solarβ€”except in the United States The economic case for solar power is stronger than ever.

what's it going to be Canada?
Follow the 'muricans?
Or join the rest of the world in pursuing cheap power and cleaner skies?

Using the notwithstanding clause to stop legal challenge to back-to-work legislation is a nuclear event for all unions. Will it lead to a general strike in Alberta? It certainly should lead to the Supreme Court establishing Constitutional limits to the clause, or else we have no rights and freedoms.

In Calgary Ward 7, we voted out the incumbent who was pro repeal of blanket zoning. He’s replaced by someone who was firmly against. Overall in the city a bit of a mixed bag though. New mayor is on the fence.

Okay, I'm all in for the Blue Jays.
1) AL East representing. Toughest division in MLB
2) Fuck the bigger payroll always.
3) Canada deserves something nice after all the bloviating and assholery they've endured from us these nine months.

Yeah, Cali v. Trump. But Newsom can troll with other stuff.

And all because Danielle Smith wanted to appease the lunatic conspiracy theorists in her party and drive down voting numbers.

Alberta to pay families of younger children should teachers strike Oct. 6, government says | CBC News The Alberta government will redirect money saved during a potential teachers' strike to payments for parents with younger children in public, Catholic and francophone schools.

Useless. Give teachers a fair deal so we can have great schools.

We have no practical way to use this money to alleviate the strike impact. Are we to buy more foreign tv subscriptions?

Worksheets aren't classrooms.

Danielle Smith will spend millions of public dollars on everything but offering teachers a fair deal.

You need people for the resistance. It’s a fine line between normalization of an extremist vs. taking a stance that unnecessarily β€œothers” people you want back. His view seems to be resist/debate against, but also signal a shared humanity, show you are looking for common ground, keep comms open.

Sure, but it isn’t exactly clear how to go about de-escalation and reversing extremists back to moderates. The left needs to offer something to followers of Kirk and the like beyond a hard wall of resistance and stigmatization. I believe this is Klein’s main point.

How Long Will Trump Be Able to Deny Reality with His Energy Policy? The Administration’s irrational dislike of solar and wind energy imperils both the environment and the economy.

On Friday, the Trump Administration shut down an almost-completed wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island on unspecified β€œnational security” grounds. Why is their war on wind and sunpower getting more aggressive?
