The Covid mRNA vaccines are, singly, the most important medical advance of my lifetime. It's incredibly sad that we may look back at 2022 as the apex year for American medical research and development.

Canadian troops won’t be joining European military force in Greenland Small numbers of troops from European countries — including Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Britain — are being deployed to the Arctic island.

This is not a good move. If Greenland falls, Canada is next. Canada needs to stand with Europe so that if the time comes, they will stand with us.

Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans? The answer, in retrospect, is obvious—and it’s part of a larger campaign to stop bans on Teflon cookware nationwide.

Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out

They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans.

New joint investigation with @mirandagreen.bsky.social and @atmosmag.bsky.social is out:

Pipeline to Nowhere Prime Minister Mark Carney’s success in his first year has been to successfully convey an image of being the “smartest guy in the room.”

There is no political, economic or environmental case for even pretending to consider Northern Gateway pipeline.
Mark Carney has given a huge with to Danielle Smith while reviving the environmental conflicts of Stephen Harper.
This is a huge mistake.
My latest.

I work in the building trades in BC. I work on O&G projects, pipelines, LNG plants, and in refineries. It pays my bills, provides for my family, and allows us to live a decent life.

Even I don't want another goddamn oil pipeline.

Ottawa, Alberta agree to broad outlines of energy deal, including path to pipeline | CBC News Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have agreed to the broad outlines of a memorandum of understanding that would give Alberta special exemptions from federal environmental l...

Danielle Smith just suckered Mark Carney into reviving the Northern Gateway pipeline.
This is the antithesis of "nation-building."
There is no economic, political or environmental case for Stephen Harper's dream.
This won't end well.
For Canada or Carney.

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:

1) Does UBI work? (yes)
2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

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-...

Jury Finds Greenpeace Liable for Hundreds of Millions in Damages A lawsuit by pipeline giant Energy Transfer claimed Greenpeace had played a major, costly role in protests nearly a decade ago. Greenpeace has said a loss could put it out of business.

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. 🍁🇨🇦

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
