“Smith’s UCP did not campaign on the Free Alberta Strategy’s tenets... Smith’s UCP doesn’t, therefore, have a democratic mandate to pursue these ideas, by any standard. Yet they have implemented the components of the strategy at a ferocious pace.” #abpoli thewalrus.ca/the-blueprin...

I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

“(Researchers) found surface temperatures increased by an average of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit after a data center started operations…Strikingly, the impacts weren’t limited to a data center’s immediate surroundings; temperature increases affected areas up to 6.2 miles away.”

Completely separate from the environmental and climate change argument, there is good evidence that betting on oil and gas investments beyond 2030 is a financial mistake.

ICYMI, my @xtramagazine.com column: Jamil Jivani's comments about Pride show how he wants you to hate him #canqueer #cdnpoli

It is pretty sickening how much they don't care what is ruined in the name of profit or power

You just know he cheats.

We exist in a society where the same people who believe a man built a boat big enough for two of every animal in the world don't believe in climate science because it’s “unproven.”

A glimpse inside PM Carney's arms bazaar, Part 2. Recommended read here from my old friend Steve Staples. Canada is re-launching a military-industrial complex at a massive scale. And who we are selling the stuff to should be alarming to all. open.substack.com/pub/stevenst...

ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.

I learned about this stuff in an Atmospheric Physics course in 1981 or 2. That's 46 f*cking years ago.

Common site in Calgary pathways these days are electric dirt bikes. Parents seem to have no problem allowing their kids operate these illegally and our authorities don’t seem to interested in enforcing their illegal use. I guess that makes it okay🤷‍♂️ #Calgary 1/n

It's also very cool to see the Canadian government cutting CRA's budget by 41%, & their ability to go after this kind of behaviour: #canpoli

Also, you may well ask - why don't we have a functioning civil society any more? Neoliberalism. The very deepest core of neoliberal praxis is the almightiest bonfire of all of the social commons which tie capitalist society together. It has created a vast and varied array of its own gravediggers.

It can be instructive to imagine the reaction if Justin Trudeau (or most PMs before him) were announcing huge spending commitments with as little explanation and as much just-trust-me attitude as Mark Carney is doing. My weekend column: www.thestar.com/business/hey...

This summer, more Whooping Crane sightings on the northern Great Plains 🇨🇦. These are likely non-breeders (teenagers) loafing - but playing an important role in potentially recolonizing former range as population rebounds (now > 650 individuals). #birds #AB

My wife says I remind her of James Bond. I’m not good at following orders, I’m emotionally dead, and she’d like to see the role go to Idris Elba.

If I were Nigel Farage, I’d dip into that £5 million crypto gift just to fund a video that can compete with this! 🤣 HILARIOUS ⬇️

Mark Carney asks climate to stop changing until Alberta quits bugging him (podcast)

This begins to look a lot like the "Freedom Convoy" - a small group of very loud people vs. a majority who have no intention of separating. #abpoli #Ableg

Stuffed, mounted, and ready to vote.

Oh.

CBC highlights an amazing Canadian project using AI and 100 acoustic recorders across the country to track birds migrating at night. The research could reveal how light pollution and climate change affect migration. Public science like this deserves attention. 🐦🇨🇦

We need to do better at improving science literacy in part because too many people think that wellness influencer blogs with discount codes are bonafide replacements for top medical journals like The Lancet.

A decade ago, destructive fire seasons seemed like flukes. Then came 2023—the worst wildfire season in Canada’s history—followed by two more extreme years. In just three years, 8 percent of Canada’s forests have burned: about 4 million hectares annually. https://thewalrus.ca/canada-wildfires/

Oh, look ... Mark Carney just sold us out. Again.

As a reminder, all modern disease is a raging bonfire of chronic inflammation. High cholesterol? A patch your body makes to repair the damage to blood vessels caused by chronic inflammation. Diabetes? chronic inflammation alters how your cells respond to insulin which traps sugar in the blood.

Ya Think?

Fundamentally, Venezuela is now a territory of the United States.

PATHETIC. WHAT A WIMP. #ElbowsUp now means giving YOUR MONEY to Trump. PATHETIC. #MarkCarney #cdnpoli

Lots of great stuff happening in Alberta these days #abpoli #ableg www.rmoutlook.com/beyond-local...

If this is accurate it is hugely disappointing and a bad sign for CUSMA/USMCA. It is also another reason why Canadians will not be able to fully trust any American administration in the future. Awful.

Hard to understand why the UCP thinks its job is to punish disabled people... #ableg #abpoli
