Thanks to @rorywh.bsky.social @jameswsthomson.com @davidmckie.bsky.social - Their vision brought us Civic Searchlight- a nation of journalists invigorating local reporting thru new tools on one platform. Each publication, researcher & citizen slaying disinformation. That's a way forward.

THIS by @maxfawcett.bsky.social is a must-read and calls out so much of what I think is fundamentally driving federal policy right now and helps make sense of moves Carney has made. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/19/o...

Bonanza or boondoggle? Climate crisis flares in Canada, amidst climate "Okay-ism" & new planet broiling projects. Join a panel of #climate experts for vigorous debate today on Zoom about #Carney, #Smith, oil & gas giants w/ @maxfawcett.bsky.social @supriya.bsky.social and @chrishatch.bsky.social

One thing I appreciate about @nationalobserver.com is that it publishes a range of opinion on climate that is still rooted in facts (even though I disagree with certain interpretations of the facts). It shouldn't be refreshing, but it is.

Good politics? Bad policy? We're bringing together two of the smartest climate and energy voices in Canada to sort through the Carney-Smith MOU on Monday: @chrishatch.bsky.social and @maxfawcett.bsky.social, moderated by @supriya.bsky.social. Join the debate at noon PT / 3 ET here:

Danielle Smith has half a million reasons to support a united Canada, so why doesn't she? Is it her dream to have Trump take over Alberta? To see Canada fall. Then to be made governor of the 51st State? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/04/o...

Carney apology to Trump shows rift in Team Canada approach on tariffs, writes Supriya Dwivedi in this morning's @nationalobserver.com while @maxfawcett.bsky.social goes deep on Carney's LNG "bridge" collapse www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/04/o...

A lot of folks I talk to are giving up on Carney and climate. They think he's a disappointment. I think he's created a sense of stability in Canada when we badly needed it with Trump, the 51st state threats, tariffs, etc. @maxfawcett.bsky.social says Carney needs to come clean on climate.

I spent 15 or so years building our X acct to 64K for @nationalobserver.com I put it in my own name when @jameswsthomson.com said CNO doesn't belong there. But after 3 minutes on X tonight it was SO VILE I deactivated the account forever.

An enormous resource. Creating public accountability tools for all journalists to use, is a brilliant way to create accountability by all municipal councils. BRAVO. And why I subscribe to National Observer. Some examples of its use: “Canada’s National www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/08/n...
