In short (as summarized in the last paragraph): Ad hoc, bilateral intergovernmental deal-making doesn't solve any of the structural problems in Canadian federalism. www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

Everyone is talking about AI as the new Industrial Revolution, but as an insider, the actual new Industrial Revolution is Solar + Wind + Batteries + BEVs. The shift to renewables alongside increase in computing capacity will allow smart grids to a level unimaginable before. The future is green.

My play friend is late….

"24/7 renewables could happen sooner than you think | Grouping wind, solar, and batteries together can already be more affordable than building a coal or gas plant in prime locations, new report finds" www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

thank you Cabo Verde for allowing us to dream the impossible dream for two beautiful hours of soccer what a game, what a wonderful game

Who would have known Argentina would have so much trouble battling a remote Atlantic archipelago?

Whatever happens next, incredible achievement for Cabo Verde to push Argentina to extra time

CAPE VERDE TIES IT UP WITH ARGENTINA

Hey look, 10 different guys sold Trump “the one true Grail.”

I'll be on #BBCWorld News TV today talking about--what else--the extreme heat and the role climate change is playing. 4pm ET / 9pm London local time. www.bbc.com/live

Never have I ever said a positive thing about VAR

This tiny world is actually the top of a fence post.

BREAKING: The Crown corporation Trans Mountain will lead the proposed new pipeline to the West Coast, Carney and Smith confirm.

Carney confirms he was delayed by the (climate linked) "biblical weather" in Ottawa on his way to announce a new oil pipeline

This wonderful country of ours is worth fighting for. And the best is yet to come — if we put in the work required. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/06/30/o...

Given that it's Canada Day, I've been thinking about Canadian national identity. When I was younger, I worried greatly about the perceived weakness of our national identity. It seemed trite and almost embarrassing, especially weighed against the strength of American national feeling.

Too cheap to meter. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Happy Canada Day!

Canada is to enter the Eurovision Song Contest in 2027, EBU announces.

Hey, just in case you need to hear it, you should totally leak information to Alberta journalists. The good ones are good with secrets. Tell a friend. #ableg.

He's been a huge disappointment on this front. At a time when China shows what sustained investment in solar and wind can bring economically and as national resilience. Did Mark Carney really write "The Tragedy of the Horizon" or was it the same ghost writer who wrote Art of the Deal?

NEW: A proposed class action lawsuit has been filed over Alberta's voter list data breach. It names as possible defendants the Alberta government, the Chief Electoral Officer, The Centurion Project, the Republican Party and David Parker.

The fuel lines in Russia are getting bad, and I'm not sure there's all that much the government can do when the Ukrainians are torching two refineries a night. Civilian autos running out is bad, but trucks and farm equipment is next and it's almost harvest season...

SNYDER: Russians now making virtually no advances, losing a huge number of people they can’t replace. Politically, Putin’s position much weaker now than Zelenskyy’s. Ukrainians striking deep into Russia and started to cut Russian logistics. Things will only get worse for Russia.

With heat waves shattering temperature records across the globe, leading to needless deaths, let me just say that history will not look fondly on those who put fossil fuel profits above saving the planet.

"People in the Philippines are flocking to install solar power on rooftops, making it the world's biggest spender on solar panels since the war in Iran started." "The rooftop solar rush has resulted in...a 145% increase from a year earlier." www.reuters.com/business/ene... #energysky

This is the future Big Oil built for us. Fossil fuel companies knew decades ago that their products would drive increasingly severe and frequent heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, but lied to protect their own profits at the expense of public health and safety. The public deserves accountability.

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

After Keir Starmer's resignation, Larry the Cat has now outlasted 6 UK Prime Ministers and is set to welcome a 7th at 10 Downing Street. At this point, he might be the most stable figure in British politics.

Today, Alberta Court of Appeal ruled that Elections Alberta should be allowed to verify and count separatists’ petition signatures. I agree with that decision. Let’s find out what the results are. #ableg

Things I never thought I would type: look at how they greeted the Algerian team arriving back at the DoubleTree in Lawrence, Kansas

Watching episode of ER from 2001. Dr. Chen & Dr. Carter are trying to diagnose an unconscious preschooler. Carter: “Could be measles.” Chen: “Measles? Have you ever seen measles?” Carter: “No, have you?” Chen: “Of course not, nobody’s seen measles.” So far backwards in such a short time.

my husband is doing fantasy baseball for the first time. he does not follow baseball. his team is run entirely by our 10yo neighbor, who gets a split of his winnings if she helps my husband defeat the rest of the league. they’re in 1st place! but now, a problem: today she left for sleepaway camp

As an Ottawa native and proud Canadian, very excited this is underway. kudos to PM Carney on moving this forward and the way in which it is being done seems excellent. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

All of the climate denier goblins who orchestrated and enabled fossil fuel burning are now blaming the impacts of their actions on not enough air conditioning

Beginning next week, Australians get free electricity for three hours every afternoon. That's what happens when you build out wind, sun, and batteries open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Ok you guys. Here’s the deal. The M7.1 in Venezuela was upgraded to a M7.2. AND it was followed shortly by a M7.5. Not good.

WOW. OH CANADA
