What is it called when you want to do things that nobody else wants to do, and you want to force it on them?
40M ppl are not going to influence the carbon footprint of 7B ppl. "Every little bit helps" ... at some cost.

06.12.2025 14:27 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0That's a global conversation. Canada's contribution changes little. As far as I can tell, the planet is not serious about *any* limit. USA pivot to BRICS is deeply concerning.
I wonder how much energy has been injected into the atmosphere dropping bombs in ukraine, Iran, gaza, and the carribean.
I definitely don't think "most" are paying attention. I think a very few are paying attention. But high level conversations full of light inform political leadership across the spectrum.
No one needs to tell me about the post truth environment, as any scan of my timeline will indicate.
They radiate more light than heat. And that's what we need. More light. Less heat.
This is the opposite of America.
And that's the path we need to follow.
Separatist Premiers can fuck right off.
What I like about Canada is that people are paying attention to the policy analysis, not just the political calculus. We can have this discussion. And *both* these guys elevate the conversation.

It was all a great big misunderstanding.
Like an episode of three's company.
So, the way they're going to parse this is that Hegseth didn't say "kill them all," he said "destroy the boat and everyone in it." This is like his Signalgate argument that he didn't release classified info...
...because he declassified it
All part of the fascist cryptostate overreach.

In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.
What a confession.
The MAGA Alberta machine gets hammered by an Alberta judge.
"Albertaโs cavalier disregard for court resources and lack of consideration for the parties and First Nations intervenors who participated in this proceeding in good faith is disappointing to say the least."
