Energy East wasn't blocked by Quebec. This is revisionist history. It never got that far.
It was abandoned because Keystone XL was back on the table, and the proponent couldn't fill both pipelines. #PnPCBC

Freedom of the Press is irrelevant if fascist billionaires control all of our media.

The President's Affordability Tour begins with a central message: Cheer up. You can easily do without and enjoy it. And it teaches your entitled kids a healthy lesson. Also steel. That's a real need.

Here is New Zealand's warming compared to the global average. We have more fluctuations (because smaller area) & possibly slightly faster warming recently. The estimate for 2025 does not include December which has already broken numerous records. See also: blog.planetaryecology.org/2024/08/28/g...

The EPA has removed references about humans causing climate change from its website. No US government website can be trusted for science information.

This graphic shows four line graph time series and each are monthly from January 1984 through November 2025. The first graph is a 12-month running mean of global mean surface temperature anomalies. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1991-2020 baseline using ERA5 data. The second graph is monthly carbon dioxide abundance. The CO2 graph is the Keeling Curve. Current levels are 426 ppm. The third graph is monthly global methane abundance. Current levels are 1931 ppb. The fourth graph is monthly global nitrous oxide abundance. Current levels are 339 ppb. The three greenhouse gases show seasonal cycles and long-term increasing trends using data from NOAA ESRL. The global mean surface temperature anomaly record also exhibits decadal variability and a long-term increasing trend. All graphs are rising and shown in four different colors, including white, yellow, orange, and pink.

The temperature is not going down like a rock.

Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott gave $7.1B to nonprofits in 2025, a major increase The author and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott revealed $7.1 billion in donations to nonprofits in 2025 Tuesday, marking a significant increase in her annual giving from recent years

MacKenzie Scott has ramped up her charitable donations this year from $2.1B in 2023, $2.6B in 2024 to $7.1B in 2025, totaling $26.3B since 2019.

I love that she just gives the money to charities without strings versus giving them conditions or establishing her own charity to work on pet projects.

This GitHub script claims to wipe all of Windows 11's AI features in seconds — "RemoveWindowsAI" can disable every single AI feature in the OS, from Copilot to Recall and more And you can disable what's left manually.

It's sad when the customer journey ends up being an arms race for removing or disabling unwanted features.

U.S.-Indonesia trade deal is in danger of falling apart, FT reports Washington believes Indonesia is 'backsliding' on removing non-tariff barriers to U.S. industrial and agricultural exports, among other things, FT reported.

"The "poison pill" clause threatens to revoke a trade agreement if the country signs any rival deal that the U.S. considers will compromise its key interests."

If this is the U.S.' approach to trade deals, every country would be wise to focus on other markets, instead.

Patients seeking doctors losing faith in Ontario's centralized waitlist | CBC News Ontario's auditor general found Health Care Connect is failing to match patients with primary care providers. Meanwhile, some clinics are filling their own rosters.

Very on-brand for the Doug Ford government here that the breakdown in this case seems largely due to outdated communication processes.

Three Tweets That Capture The Entire Elon Musk Free Speech Con We’ve spent years calling out what a hypocrite Elon Musk is on free speech. But sometimes the universe Elon hands you a gift: three tweets in the span of a little over a week that demonstrate…

"Elon’s entire incoherent free speech framework collapses into a single coherent principle: speech I like is protected, speech I don’t like should be punished.

This is what happens when someone who never understood the actual principles of free speech tries to cosplay as a free speech absolutist."

Four people have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage flinging an apple crumble and yellow custard at a display case containing the Imperial State Crown in the Jewel House of the Tower of London. According to the BBC, “the group said it carried out the stunt to demand the U.K. government establishes a permanent citizen’s assembly, or “House of the People”, with the power to ‘tax extreme wealth and fix Britain.’”

There is a "House of the People." It's called Parliament.
It does require people to make a fucking effort and organize politically if you want change.
I am beyond sick to death of this fetishism of "citizens assemblies" that will do nothing but launder accountability for terrible ideas.

It's like they are actively trying to kill the tourist industry.

Andrew Lawton: I moved an amendment to Bill C-9 to list the hammer and sickle as a hate symbol. One hundred million people have died under that insignia with countless more oppressed. The Liberal and Bloc committee members voted it down.

Could our MPs kindly grow the fuck up?
This should be mortifyingly embarrassing, but nope. They have zero shame.
