something something scorpion, something something stinger

I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.

This gets to the heart of it: who cares if we win, politically, if more people suffer from the material consequences of this government's strategy? Uniting the country and losing the momentum for strong protections is the definition of a Pyrrhic victory.

Screaming all the way from Uzbekistan.

The federal-AB agreement is a love letter to fossil fuels -cancelation of critical policies (OG emissions cap & clean electricity rules) -public $$ for a pipeline (via Indigenous loan program) -more $$ for CCS, incl. enhanced oil production - only mention of electricity is for fossil fuels

In case anyone is wondering, “decarbonized oil and gas” does not exist, is a complete contradiction in terms, and a dangerous lie that Canadian government after Canadian government has tried to spin under the spell of industry lobbying. How disappointing. www.ft.com/content/17ce...

Going outside is fun and good. Would recommend.

I know there is a lot going on right now, but holy fucking hell this is bad.

Great opinion piece by Amy Janzwood: "The era of new mega oil sands pipelines is over [...] Pipelines are decades-long gambles that burden taxpayers and governments while private investors walk away unscathed." #climate #cdnpoli #energysky www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

New writing! With @adamscott.bsky.social and the folks at SHIFT, I helped explain how Canada's pension funds have bought into the hydrogen hype and are holding on to high-risk gas assets that'll harm people's retirements as the world transitions to green energy. www.shiftaction.ca/news/2025/1/...
