BC & Manitoba just signed an economic trade partnership. The two NDP provinces are teaming up to build wind farms. #cdnpoli

Now put that half a pack a day on a whole city like #YYC breathing hundreds more smoke hours per year then ask what the health costs will be for that population over a lifetime & understand: you are owed no small amount of money by some of the richest people on the planet #SueBigOil #abpoli #cdnpoli

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Demonstrating, once again, that every accusation is a confession.

4. Traffic light finally installed

What @dylanreid.bsky.social calls the “Pedestrian Blood Sacrifice” in @spacing.bsky.social.

Fossil Fuel Subsidies Surged to Record $7 Trillion Scaling back subsidies would reduce air pollution, generate revenue, and make a major contribution to slowing climate change

Took a quick scan thru the comments before replying to ensure the most obvious answer hadn’t been shared yet, namely that:

Due to everything from more than century-old subsidies to the rapidly mounting externalities of climate & pollution, it just isn’t a level playing field.

But it seems not?

The British media outlet ITV also went on a Jordanian airdrop and simply ignored the Israeli government’s illiberal demands:

Gaza is being starved by Israel, with the support of the West. Famine is reaching the point of no return. Your statement is meaningless unless you cut off arms sales, support sanctions, and facilitate food aid.

The most damning part: The car was programmed to send all the information to Tesla then delete the local copies. Which speaks to a clear conspiracy to hide the fact that "driver assistance" features contributed to an accident #teslatakedown electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...
