Thanks for your important work. I struggle with this. Why/how has the FF industry been allowed to influence the global climate agenda?

We need our countries to get serious about abandoning US tech and putting serious resources behind developing more public-oriented alternatives their citizens can use instead.

Always great to get @ceciliarikap.bsky.social’s insights on these topics. Don’t miss our chat!

This is not an acceptable response.

"These are challenging economic and fiscal times and our government will continue to prioritize the critical services people rely on, address affordability and grow the economy.

She is overcome by the anger economy. Sad, but there is no excuse for such vile behaviour. You do outstanding work.

My thought too!

His party got trounced and he just keeps going???

We have many cherished friends in the US and they are so distressed. Hope the nightmare ends soon.

The mistake of allowing US interests to buy up our Canadian media is now in full view. The National Post is throwing things at the wall - doubt any of it will stick with the majority of Canadians.

I think young Ireland is edging out the Aussies

Canada’s first ministers have agreed on the development of a national trade and energy corridor strategy, Prime Minister Mark Carney tells reporters at a news conference in Ottawa following his meeting with provincial and territorial premiers.

Menaced by Trump, Canada Prepares to Join E.U. Military Industry Efforts (Gift Article) Canada’s draft deal to participate in Europe’s defense industry will bring contracts to Canadian manufacturers and help lessen dependence on the United States.

This is a highly significant development - Canada may be shifting out of the US military production complex orbit. I wonder ifnit depends on a Liberal majority or if the other parties have been briefed, especially the Conservatives. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/w...

History repeats itself. These are pictures from outside my grad school lab for a Guardian article I wrote shortly after Brexit in the UK. First is all of us, the second is only the British researchers. www.theguardian.com/science/occa...

I sense that many of us are tired of putting up with fools in the media and in the House.

Less media coverage for them during the election is a good thing imo. Their preferred channels don't have nearly as much reach.

I must be missing something. I don't understand the point of "what" - why does that matter?

This is not newsworthy.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

I will attempt to flesh out why the CBC's broadcast of Cross Country Checkup was so toxic today, since there are some people still expressing confusion or dismay at the criticisms, including my own, leveled at it.

Making threats is not okay.

I'm pleased with Canada's response to the bullying.

New Economic Liberties Paper Exposes How Investor-Owned Utilities Exploit Rate of Return Policies to Overcharge Americans - New Economic Liberties Paper Exposes How Investor-Owned Utilities Exploit Ra... The American Economic Liberties Project today released a new paper, “Rate of Return Equals Cost of Capital: A Simple, Fair Formula to Stop Investor-Owned Utilities from Overcharging the Public,” which...

Just an absolute banger of a research paper out recently from Mark Ellis, a Senior Fellow @econliberties.bsky.social about how investor owned utilities are breaking the bank, and the backs, of regular people.

Here are few of my favorite passages, a 🧵.

The joint environmental assessment of Grassy Mountain determined it is not in the public interest. I don't see how the project could go ahead without a federal approval even if Alberta changes its rules.

Good reminder. Subscribed.

I have no idea how horrible the impact of the harassment must be, and am dismayed that you are a target of this disgusting behaviour. You are a beacon, a leading source of inspiration and I wish you could also get the joy back that you send out.
