In the era of the climate crisis, politicians campaigning against bike lanes aren’t fit for office
Amid the climate crisis, politicians campaigning against bike lanes — as in Montreal municipal election campaign — aren’t fit for office.
“The voices who complain the loudest about bike lanes tend to be those who don’t actually live — or vote — in the city of Montreal. Ensemble Montréal running Leslie Roberts’ on an anti-bike lane platform suggests they’re leaning into this ‘divisive’ issue rather than backing away from it.”

Got off the plane and walked into a drug store in Ottawa and got my COVID vaccine in under 5 minutes. No line up. No appointment. No cost.
Was even asked if I wanted Moderna or Pfizer.
It’s unconscionable that we can’t get this same level of service in Alberta.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.

Plastics companies know about chemical recycling’s shortcomings — but still sell it as a solution
A new report casts doubt on industry narratives about the “revolutionary” technology.
“They’re claiming it’s a solution and it’s not, and they know it." Great piece exposing the truth about chemical recycling, based on the new @climateintegrity.org report, from @grist.org @josephwintervhs.bsky.social @davisallen.bsky.social #plasticpollution #advancedrecycling

No matter whatevet a Republican says to you, the proper response to them is
“Where the fuck did you get that stupid idea”?

Cars aren't tested properly for women's safety. Congress is trying to fix that.
Republican Sen. Deb Fischer’s "She DRIVES Act" would raise the standards for car safety testing, promoting the use of "crash test dummies that reflect a woman’s lighter frame."
Women are 73% more likely to be seriously injured in a head-on car crash compared with men.
It's because cars aren't designed to be safe for women, the CEO of a crash test dummy producer says, adding that vehicles are being designed “around a male.”

WTF!?! It's the small things like this that make serious illness bearable. It's just cruel to do this to sick children.

Pierre Poilievre would kneel to Donald Trump.
Only Mark Carney will stand up for Canadians.

No matter what their narratives are, it won't change the reality of climate change. It's here and we're almost at +1.5C.

Higgins boat, packed with soldiers, getting ready to land at Normandy, France on 6 June 1944.
On 6 June 1944, while Americans were fighting at Omaha Beach, Canadians were fighting at Juno Beach. Our brothers, who fought and died by our side – who helped us defeat Fascism, are not our enemy. They are our true friends. Canadians are our brothers and sisters and I stand with them 100%.

Because the purpose of tariffs was never about the Canada-US border, but about destroying the Canadian economy so Trump could try and annex it.

You are missing Trump's goal here. He wants to annex Canada. He doesn't want to annex Mexico.

Keeping honey bees does NOT help our declining native wild bee populations.
In fact keeping honey bees means more bees competing for ever more precious forage.
