Hydrogen Mafia: Toyota faces $5.7 billion RICO lawsuit A $5.7B lawsuit alleges that Toyota operated an organized, fraudulent enterprise that intentionally concealed catastrophic safety defects.

Oh boy! This might be the all time hydrogen soufflé. FYI @mliebreich.bsky.social …

Trump is turning America’s auto industry into a global backwater. Canada must now go its own way North America’s once dominant auto industry may turn into a place where a couple of car companies churn out inferior, dirty vehicles for a captive consumer base that has no choice but to buy them

The demise of the CDN auto industry is nigh. It’s been in decline for a decade.

The challenge is to create an integrated industrial policy and system.

Imitate BYD, own the mines/minerals, manufacture them into the parts used to make EVs and other products.

That takes time.

UCP made corporate donations legal in Alberta again. Then, businesses gave them $471K in first period. | CBC Accessibility Injury lawyers opened their wallets to support the United Conservative Party, while their fight against auto insurance reforms continues.

July: corporate donations become legal again for Alberta parties
July-Sept: at least $471K in corp donations to UCP, which made the change.

For oil and gas insight, look at what companies are doing – not what politicians are saying This is not the time for us to stake our economic future on an industry which appears to be cutting jobs and battening down the hatches.

As job cuts, layoffs and downsizing seize the oil and gas industry, Alberta needs to pivot to secure good jobs for the next generation.

Hey, @edmontonchamber.bsky.social any contributions from your members, on this endeavour?

May be Conner McDavid an help Evan Bouchard with playing defense?

Is this applicable to #Alberta, too? If so, it’s another reason Albertans will be paying more for electricity in 2027, when the new market regulations become effective.

The #Oilers loose in St Louis. Evan Bouchard…
Does he know how to box out?

Connecticut and Maine team up to fast-track renewables The two states will jointly consider clean-energy projects, a model that could help more installations qualify for federal incentives before they expire.

Maine and Connecticut both want to achieve 100% clean power by 2040 — so they’re exploring a collaboration to get the job done faster.

Willful ignorance at the top — among the c-suite, auditors and investors — will keep pushing this bill down onto taxpayers’ lap.

Europe’s gas prices are still far above the U.S.

Sept 2025: $11.1 vs $3.0 per MMBtu — nearly 4× higher.

Even before the crisis, Europe paid more.

The only lasting fix? Less gas, more renewable energy, more efficiency and more clean electrification. ⚡️

”Over the next five years, the US will build nearly 67 gigawatts’ worth of new utility-scale batteries, … three times more battery capacity in 2030 than it does now.
…by 2024, California’s battery fleet had grown large enough to displace some natural-gas use in the evening. “
FYI, #Alberta!

On those plays, yes. The had numerous opportunities to score runs in game seven and game six. They could provide the timely hit, they needed.

True about the BC offensive line. Rourke got into trouble when he stayed in the pocked. When he move he forced the Stamps to move too.
...
The Elks didn't do that with any regularity. Tre Ford was confined to the pocked in the run first, 1-6, offence. That's a coaching failure!

My lukewarm take on this is I question why we continue to platform (mostly? Exclusively?) men who made a lot of money in one area for their views/advice in other totally unrelated areas.

Massachusetts heat-pump owners are about to get cheaper electricity The state’s innovative winter heat-pump rates go into effect this weekend and should make the tech more accessible. Deeper discounts could come next year.

Lower rates for Massachusetts heat pump owners start today. Here’s how they could help more residents unlock clean, efficient heat.

Every sport has its postseason strengths. Nothing but baseball builds narrative tension like this right here

From game four to game seven, from the 6th inning on, the Jays had runners in scoring position and didn't deliver with customary regularity. Dalton Varsho had clutch hits until the last five games. Along with Addison Barger, he made some outstanding defensive plays. The Blue Jays needed his bat!

Time to introduce the more casual Jays fans to the words of former MLB commissioner Bartlett Giamatti:

American billionaires have been shameless in trying to buy off Donald Trump with trinkets, baubles, and outright bribes.

By sacrificing his long-held beliefs on climate change (and giving the bad-faith skeptics a win), Bill Gates topped them all. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/01/o...
