Carney didn't help auto by offering to build Keystone XL.
Trump remains focused on destroying our auto sector.
Carney isn't placating a "growing" Alberta-BC rift.
Danielle Smith set up a non-existent fight.
Keystone XL doesn't "suck" for the US environment - it is a planet carbon bomb.

If you’re like most Canadians, you don’t know that all of your parcels get delivered by Canada Post if you live in rural Canada. The big couriers don’t go there. They drop them off at the post office and letter carriers take them the rest of the way. Ending home delivery cuts them off.

Trump sends fracking CEO to Europe to sell climate denial—and gas Debunking some of Chris Wright's most egregious lies

Chris Wright is genuinely a con man selling climate denial to the world in order to enrich himself and his gas industry friends.

This should be a much bigger story.

M365 Copilot fails to up productivity in UK government trial : AI tech shows promise writing emails or summarizing meetings. Don't bother with anything more complex

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results:

Save the County by Burning the Planet Canada's False National "Unity" Debate

Canada is on fire.
The national media is focused on building pipelines for national unity.
Oil production is at record levels.
We are back of the pack in the G7 for failing all our environmental goals.
My latest on Canada's oil obsession.

Ottawa tells chiefs to submit questions before meeting with PM on… National Newswatch: Canada's most comprehensive site for political news and views.

Prime Minister Carney pushed through a mega bill without providing First Nation leaders time to read the full text.
Now he insists that they write their questions in advance before meeting with them.
Are you kidding Mark?
This is a really bad look.

a point I make over and over re: climate change is that there’s no point at which it’s time to throw up your hands and give up, because each tenth of a degree you can prevent is worth it

2C is better than 2.1C is better than 2.2C and so on and so forth

Mark Carney caves to Trump and the tech industry Canada’s decision to rescind its digital services tax shows it’s “elbows down” in US trade talks

Mark Carney’s decision to rescind Canada’s digital services tax is a cowardly move that shows Trump he can be pressured into making trade concessions.

It also shows how much Carney is willing to give into corporate demands, and particular those of the tech industry.

Canadian politicians are actively discussing increased oil production & more pipelines which will ensure that wildfires & other effects will get worse. Global warming WILL reach 1.5C by 2030, 2C by 2050 & a minimum of 3C by 2100. More oil will ensure steadily increasing global warming. 🙁

My niece isn’t Filipino. (She’s Jewish and Guyanese, fwiw.) But that’s Vancouver. That’s Canada. A place where we share our cultures, our food, our festivals. This isn’t just something that happened to the Filipino community. It happened to all of us. And this morning, we are all feeling the shock.

Court rejects logging company's claim to conservation-related losses | The Narwhal Forestry giant Teal sued for $75 million in compensation after old-growth trees on Haida Gwaii were protected, and lost — a victory for Indigenous Rights and law

Last Monday, the B.C. Supreme Court ruled against logging giant Teal, which was seeking $75m in damages after conservation measures were put in place on Haida Gwaii — a win for the environment and Indigenous Rights, writes Jaahljuu Graham Richard: thenarwhal.ca/haida-gwaii-...

Will Zale get their own book at some stage? They’ve been so unflappable and helpful to everyone and I’d like to see them have their own special reward.

Fascist coup going on and Dem leaders are trying to make the few Congresspeople who give a shit feel like they're getting sent to the principal's office. Get the net.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

It’s ridiculous to even think of giving any credence whatsoever to that idea, let alone on CBC. You are meant to be our voice, not to roll over and play dead.

Canadian medias, you are expected to do better. Especially if you are funded by the public.

We’ve seen what has happened because of the abdication of the US main medias.

Don’t fall for rhetoric. Inform better. Do better. 🍁🇨🇦

@emorwee.bsky.social’s climate newsletter is great. In this one she addressed each of Chris Wright’s misleading claims about climate change and while they’re wrong—with citations! And an appearance from @michaelemann.bsky.social

B.C.’s $3B LNG project won’t get environmental assessment | The Narwhal Concerns are being raised about the B.C. government’s decision to put the BC Energy Regulator in charge of permitting and authorizations for LNG transmission line

This $3B LNG project in B.C. won’t get an environmental assessment. Instead, the BC Energy Regulator, funded by the oil and gas industry, will issue permits. #bcpoli VIA @sobittersosweet.bsky.social

Read this and remember

It is the greatest of all mistakes, to do nothing because you can only do little

And folks are still called paranoid for trying to be mildly covid cautious

5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

DAMMIT NPR.

Great visualization by Joseph Gelfer to keep in mind when discussing a just transition in the oil and gas industry.

How an Unlikely Coalition of Climate Activists and a Gas Utility Are Weaning a Boston Suburb Off Fossil Fuels - Inside Climate News Underground pipes and wells tap geothermal energy to heat and cool a neighborhood. Next stop, the world.

When climate activists sat down with gas utility executives, they found common ground that could transform heating and cooling around the world without the use of fossil fuels. insideclimatenews.org/news/2112202...

Reminder that one of the most important times to wear a mask is right now during holiday season travel. Transits hubs are high risk as many people travel while they are sick. A high quality mask like an N95 will help protect you and help ensure you don't miss out on valuable time with loved ones.
