From his Davos speech.

The U.S. agency that oversees dozens of schools serving Native Americans is reporting more on-time high school graduations than ever.

The trade in stolen gold in the northern mining towns was a serious and sometimes deadly business. But local people like the "highgraders." People thought it levelled the field with the immense power of the mine owners. Some Sunday morning reading for you. charlieangus.substack.com/p/joe-basill...

Danielle Smiths new AI super centre might not use that much water… But according to the environmental impact assessment, the power plant powering it will more than double the water consumption of the entire Sturgeon County. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

#abpoli #cdnpoli Another question is what are the guarantees to the residents of Alberta & other utility customers that they will have access to utilities. Time to make all utilities including the internet public & put them under direct government control. The private sector is only good at greed.

#abpoli #cdnpoli Having lost family & friends to drugs I well understand the desperation trying to keep loved ones safe. But there is a big RoI for private investment in this. Guaranteed #$S from taxpayers. This is setting up the stage for private prisons next.

Why Canada should keep housing the leader of the Opposition — and grow a public spiritedness that we extend into the economy and welfare state. www.davidmoscrop.com/p/the-case-f...

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

From the man who brought public medicine to Canada. We hear you Tommy and the work goes on.

You will, I'm sure, see lots of this -- including from people who have been clamouring for the PM to make a deal, any deal, with Trump. Here's what they're not telling you:

Publicly-funded pipelines were all over the news this week. So we're asking you, over the summer, if you have any better ideas for investing $43.7 billion of taxpayer funds in Canada's energy space. Details in this week's edition of The SHIFT. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

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/

Brandi Morin is on assignment on Vancouver Island, near Fairy Creek, as forest defenders ramp up their opposition to clear cutting. Story to come. Wilderness Committee mapping estimates ~84 hectares of old-growth forests are targeted for logging behind these gates, equivalent to 117 soccer fields.

As the first waves of Canadian wind farms approach end of life, two questions loom: how do you reclaim the sites? And how do you repower them to generate clean energy for a new generation?

Think we all know where this is going. Alberta knows the people involved and is living with the billion dollar cleanup of the abandoned polluting wells from their O&G days to show for it. Maybe as an RoI try not to fuck up Alberta again. #abpoli #cdnpoli

#abpoli #cdnpoli Thanks for this. I don't know how much simpler it can be made. Economists & finance people have drawn diagrams showing how fucked up the financing is. But this is the Golden Age of Greed along with Ivermectin & drink your own urine considered as medical cures.

#abpoli #cdnpoli The Greenlight Electricity Centre allegedly to be built to power Meta's Sturgeon County Data Centre won't be online until 4 yrs after data centre scheduled to be operational. It's the usual suspects from O&G with the same old BS. Maybe clean up the derelict wells first.

Earlier this week a Republican congresswoman huffed and puffed and demanded we buy watered down American beer. Now a Democrat is asking us to be nice to them and buy their wine. They can whine all they want but the boycott remains in place. Nice to see that it's hurting the political class.

My colleague, Keri Adams, did an excellent job grilling the US ambassador yesterday To watch the full segment, scroll down about half way on this link (it’s about 8 minutes long)

There has to be a very interesting back story to this. Connections to human trafficking since drugs & weapons involved?

It's codified in law in Alberta. The Stampede is allowed to abuse animals for entertainment in ways not allowed outside such an event.

As Canada is the only country that publicly funds a mansion for the opposition leader to play at Lord of the Manor maybe time for it to go away. This is #cdnpoli so of course there's a petition www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Support matters. BC's Racist Incident Helpline is expanding to better support people experiencing discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

It’s been a big week for the Alberta premier — and a terrifying one for the future of the human race. Hot on the heels of a proposal for a new oil pipeline, Smith unveiled yet another horrifying project that will send us careening towards climate dystopia: Meta’s HUGE new AI data centre. It's bad:

A petition Canadians concerned with affordability of housing & stewardship of public funds may be interested in signing. Especially after having squatters living there. #Stornoway seems very elitist. #cdnpoli #abpoli #onpoli www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

More details are coming out about Trump's threat to destabilize the Canadian border in order to threaten our sovereignty. The only thing that stopped him was the massive threat of counter-tariffs by Canada. But the threat remains. My latest. youtu.be/DmE9S2VB3tg?...

#abpoli #cdnpoli This is the ethics of a company planning to build a data center in Sturgeon County Alberta.

How can we get better at disagreeing? I find it unsettling that even progressives would rather make conflict disappear than engage in respectful conversation with someone they disagree with. It’s like we all go on social media to yell stuff at one another, prove we hold the one and only ✨truth✨

At a time when the price of wind and solar power are now both undercutting new-build oil and gas, the Canadian government has been labouring to offload the potential financial perils of LNG mega-projects with problematic economics from private investors to the taxpayer.
