What's always glossed over, if mentioned at all, is that this was the result of Russians hacking NS Power. It was a message. Taking over a year to recover from a data breach is one thing, defending our grid from being shut down by our adversaries is another. share.google/qgYSV0nAiIlR...

Seems likely. Particularly with all the GOP Congresscritters coming out against the Iran briefing they received today. Oh, and the coverage of Kharg island being mined.

This is the main reason our democracies are in peril. The criminals are in control of our governments and our law enforcement officers are their fixers.

Another death cult Conservative government has failed its people. Island nations should be fully renewable energy and electrified transport by now if they care about their sovereignty. Conservatives don't care. They just care about enriching themselves & selling out their country.

EXCLUSIVE: Al Gore calls Trump's Iran war "an astonishing mistake"—says he ignored 50 years of war planning and told advisors "they'll surrender." They didn't.

The Harris campaign not demanding recounts was really a knife in the back of American democracy. Fishiest election of all time and they didn't even bother to examine any of it.

It’s windy and sunny 🌞 Right now renewables are producing 71% of UK electricity. Fossil fuels only 6%. grid.iamkate.com

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Shoutout to this dumbfuck

Security guarantees from the US. That always works out well.

My apologies Iran, I was not familiar with your 🎵 game.

Enough with Iain Rankin! We soundly rejected him & his attempt to thieve a provincial park. The Liberals need to clean house. Mombourquette sucks too. Too much baggage is still entrenched. Chender isn't seizing the moment well either. We'll probably split the vote & elect Tim Houston again. 🤦

Is it any wonder people feel the system is rigged?

Democracy on the ropes in Nova Scotia. share.google/T7HSBkwOMPEE...

They locked the people out of the legislature because they were scared? They passed the budget in a locked room. We need to talk about feeling safe vs. Feeling uncomfortable. #nspoli

"Developers will be required to install solar panels and heat pumps in all new homes in England as part of updated planning requirements published by the government." Imagine taking the energy transition seriously.

“Canada now has an auto plan that aligns with the world beyond the U.S.” “In addition to strict emission standards and letting in a growing share of affordable Chinese models, we should open our market to more European EV models, an idea multiple carmakers and dealers are interested in.”

‘HoboCops’: the problem with police posing as panhandlers Morning File by @philmoscovitch.bsky.social

I am convinced that the pandemic will lead to 2 paradigm shifts. The first, as described in this article, is a reconceptualisation of pathogens as not just common causes of acute illness, but also common causes of chronic illness. The second will be the end of droplet dogma time.com/article/2026...

In my latest for @halifaxexaminer.ca, I spoke to people involved with arts groups and museums about the disproportionate harm the provincial budget's cuts will bring to rural communities. No paywall. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-...

My question this morning: What makes the Premier think attending an Oil and Gas conference in Texas is more important than being in the House to defend his awful budget? #nspoli @nsgov.bsky.social

This is where hope comes from... not our leaders, but everyday people standing up to them.

Brenden Maguire misunderstanding democracy & doesn't realize that MLAs are supposed to listen to their constituents. What a useless turnip.

"It's Okay to Change Your Mind," which people in the gallery of the Nova Scotia legislature sang last night, was one of the songs from the rallies three weeks ago. There's a dance that goes with it, too.

#JournoRequest If you wrote about the tweet from the WHO saying COVID-19 isn’t airborne back in the day, please write about this. COVID-19 is airborne, and we can do something about it.

NS PC’s having to postpone the budget vote due to a singing Protestors

Just what our veterans fought for.

We sang. “It's OK to change your mind, show us your courage, leave this behind," "It's OK to change your mind. And you can join us — join us at any time." Result: The vote on third reading of Appropriations was delayed. Real result: community building www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Sorry, but: "the enemy forces; those who prefer flight over fight. The very masters of constant defeat who make the region's muslim people their human shields..." is a banger. youtu.be/JN_WTLIdfNk?...

My library's small & I'm envious of big libraries that can employ a social worker. Just this week, we helped a guy just out of jail get to his parents place after the county randomly dropped him off here, and we helped a woman set up a burner email so she can get help leaving her abusive husband😔

I wonder if Carney is familiar with Dieppe, or Gallipoli. Will his kids sign up to help open up the Strait of Hormuz?

Any island nation that doesn't have 100% renewable energy is not serious about its sovereignty. Every dollar spent on national defence at this point should be for the goal of reaching 100% renewables & electrified transportation.

Fascinating new study about men’s friendships. There’s a lot of evidence here that the “male loneliness crisis” is actually a white, wealthy man problem. Other men are building friendships with similar depth to women’s friendships.

I finally watched Chernobyl (I'm late to a lot of TV, okay!) and the line, "Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid." will stick with me for a while, because holy hell is it more relevant now than ever before.

It's been 3 months since the Justice Department was supposed to release the full, unredacted Epstein files.

Unmasked ICE agents are being exposed in more ways than one. They're now huffing COVID, the #1 cause of death for ICE agents, in crowded airports where they should actually be wearing (N95) masks.

Two criminals, who should be in jail but are in power instead .. (cartoon Dave Granlund)

Former MN Gov and WWE wrestler Jesse Ventura says Vince and Linda McMahon inducted Trump into the WWE Hall of Fame as a quid pro quo for Trump having DOJ kill federal sex charges against Vince.

BREAKING: Democrat Emily Gregory wins Florida House District 87 special election, defeating Republican Jon Maples and flipping the seat from red to blue. This is the Mar-a-Lago district — Trump won it by 11 points in 2024 and heavily promoted Maples.

Serious question: is there a Conservative government on earth that isn't running a deficit, or instituting extreme austerity measures while cutting taxes for the upper class?

USA: "A new COVID variant is showing up in California — here’s what to know." "BA.3.2 carries roughly 70 to 75 mutations in its spike protein compared with recent strains... Some of those changes may help it partially evade immunity from past infections or vaccination." Source: archive.md/ALU3i

"A mining outpost that serves Trump's military agenda." That's exactly what Tim Houston wants to turn Nova Scotia into. The Con playbook. www.instagram.com/reel/DWFMjWy...
