"He’s the one who won’t provide provincial funding for Halifax’s bus system, which would take at least some of those other people commuting by themselves in their cars off the road." -- @timbousquet.bsky.social in today's Morning File

The Great Derangement: Carney, Trump and the Return of Keystone XL Well, that was unexpected.

The great derangement syndrome. As the world blows past the 1.5 degree red line Trump and Carney talk about reviving Keystone XL.
