I have never understood why right-wing extremists seem to have a monopoly on patriotism, when they are literally the ones seeking to break apart and leave the country.

Can’t have it both ways.

Very important proposal for bus signal priority in Vancouver by Mayoral hopeful @wazaroff.bsky.social running for @onecityvan.bsky.social. Transportation equity means prioritizing transit that’s moving a LOT more people in a lot less space. That’s ironically better for EVERYONE, including drivers.

Solidarity with PSAC-AFPC members fighting back against Carney’s callous cuts.

We're in a moment of economic emergency: austerity is the worst possible response. We shouldn't be attacking good jobs and public services, we should be expanding them to protect Canadians from the shocks still to come.

"When governments recognize jurisdiction and manage resources in partnership with Indigenous Nations, we see more joint ventures, Indigenous equity, and durable benefit agreements. We also see fewer conflicts when terms are negotiated before companies invest millions."

Wholeheartedly agree.

The Abundance argument about how to deal with climate change: ignore temperature targets, get rid of environmental regulations, and weaken community power to block fossil fuels. Make ALL energy cheap.

Is it surprising this argument is being made here by a former member of Trump’s transition team?

European nations are jointly plotting a massive offshore wind buildout As the U.S. tries to crush its offshore wind industry, 10 countries agree to work together to install 100 gigawatts of offshore turbines in the North Sea.

As the Trump administration continues to dump on offshore wind, these 10 European nations have committed to building out turbines in the North Sea.

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Yet despite this progress, the vast majority of the world’s children are set to be reared in captivity, in car-dominated places.

North Sea States to Invest €9.5 Billion in Offshore Wind by 2030 The offshore wind industry has pledged to invest €9.5 billion ($11.3 billion) in its supply chain by 2030 to help expand capacity in the North Sea as European countries work to turn one of the most fa...

If done right, transforming the North Sea into a renewable energy hub could "begin to correct" the injustice of its decades of pollution, says Clémence Dubois, 350.org Global Campaign Manager in this report by Bloomberg.

Trump's DOE fake "climate advisory" group were being organized, and their work being edited, by Travis Fisher, the lead lobbyist against climate policy and clean energy development at the Cato Institute — who, with chefs-kiss perfection, now works, I see, at The Abundance Institute. 😂

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The Winter Olympics are running out of winter Warming winters are reducing the number of places that can host the Winter Olympics and Paralympics and could soon force the games to be held earlier in the winter, a new Canadian-led study finds.

With municipal elections coming up in October, it's exciting to see candidates in the region are campaigning to win the support of transit riders. There's over 1 million of us, a third of Metro Vancouverites use transit at least once weekly.

Canada was at 9.4% in Q3 2025, down from 15.7% in Q3 2024.

The government keeps delaying the introduction of a new EV incentive and is letting the fact we’re tied into the US market and its vehicle safety standards limit the affordable EVs that can be sold here. That needs to change.

A very pathetic and unacceptable statement from a Canadian-owned group selling a property to ICE. This will damage Pattison and his family of businesses in B.C.

Maybe because some of us care about other people, which is pretty inconceivable to a lot of empathy-free right-wingers? Though a lot of us aren't exactly mad; we're resolute in our commitment because it's not just one white woman being murdered; it's millions of BIPOC people being terrorized.

These words demand attention.

“In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock

Take a moment, so much more…

This is the way.

As we breach 1.5 °C, we must replace temperature limits with clean-energy targets Actionable goals are needed to guide the world towards what needs to happen most quickly: shifting economies to clean energy sources.

"We argue that the main focus of climate action in 2026 and beyond should be on accelerating the clean-energy revolution. And the rate at which clean energy displaces fossil fuels in the global economy should become the key measure of climate progress."

I have mixed feelings about this.

The pre-paywall part of the article does not include the words "efficiency" or "conservation."

Dubious, considering the large amount of energy efficiency & conservation available at negative net cost (stuff worth doing even without considering the benefits of reduced GHG pollution).
