I wonder how this will affect search traffic. Google is the highest referrer of traffic to my website. First, people stopped clicking on links from social media to my website. Now, they might stop clicking on links from search results.

My heart is with the victims and survivors of the San Diego mosque shooting. It is not enough to avoid causing harm; we *must* actively engage in interrupting and countering harm we witness. Letting jokes and microaggressions slide provides the foundations upon which escalating violences flourish.

When business owners say they take on all the "risk", they aren't talking physical risk but monetary risk. They don't particularly care about Joe Lunchpail unless he's in a union. THEN it threatens to impinge on their notion of risk.

Profit does not create jobs. Demand does. And most demand comes from the working class. Working class creates demand. And working class creates the revenue from which profit is extracted. Without the working class, the economy would collapse.

Yeah I joined the party but quit When I realized they would never be explicitly and proudly anti-genocide or anti-apartheid as long as it's Israel doing the genocide and apartheid. Environmental activism without a strong commitment to human rights is just silly colonial nonsense.

Canadian Greens are never beating the “solar powered conservatives“ label. Every time their party starts to achieve any success it implodes when the activists discover a huge chunk of the core will sacrifice the “solar power” before they’ll sacrifice the “conservative“

This new modern Calgary home has three green roofs: over the main entry, 3-car garage and children’s playhouse.

Yeah that's been the entire Canadian political spectrum for my whole life - plus neoliberalism with a slightly improved social safety net from the NDP. The Greens are neoliberalism with meaningful climate action. Hoping Avi Lewis can help the NDP figure out how to broaden our options a bit.

Or how climate disaster harms crops and destroys infrasftructure making food more expensive. But yes all profit is theft.

Or how climate change is making food more scarce and expensive.

Liberals don’t pay attention after their guy wins nor do they appear to read.

If Poilievre won and was doing what Carney is doing, Liberals would hate him and be apoplectic!

I'm also still waiting for all the people, many of whom were very angry, that said "Carney is playing 4D Chess" when the MOU was originally signed with Danielle. "It's never going to happen." blah blah Seems to me Carney and Smith are a tag team.

Regardless of party.

eople like to talk about how carbon tax on everything makes food more expensive, but they never want to talk about how profit on everything makes food more expensive.

What was the saying when he was first elected? Elbows up iirc? Seems like he’s been a pretty big disappointment.

But at least Mark Carney is prime minister. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

The number of people who hated Harper but love Carney is kind of wild.

I turned off Social Media app notifications a couple of years ago, outside of when very specific people post. It has absolutely been a game-changer for me. Nothing is so important that it can't wait until I check the app. In fact, I have turned off notifications for most apps for years.

This is your daily reminder: The claim that separatists collected 300,000 signatures rests on one man's word. And reasonable people should question whether he is telling the truth.+

Part of my observance of Lent this year was taking a break from social media. One thing it had taught me is that I do not need push notifications from social media. Turning off push notifications when I came back on has been a game changer for me.

Based on Question Period, Premier Smith believes that the notwithstanding clause is a 'get out of court free' card, usable whenever she wants to act unconstitutionally. While it's worked for her thus far, it cannot shield her support for a separatist referendum. S33 doesn't apply to treaty rights.

It should go without saying that diversifying Alberta’s exports would mean supporting any export besides oil and gas — and reducing emissions requires emitting less of them. My column on today's announcement for @nationalobserver.com

Wednesday’s court ruling blocking Alberta separatists’ efforts to hold a secession referendum this fall is a reminder that treaties are foundational to Canada’s existence, write @ginastar.bsky.social and James Rowe. #canpoli

Employers have never taken the risks.

While forcing the hands of many, Trump will not be remembered fondly for it. #Solar

China helping Cuba gear up with solar…..since they’re cut off from oil by the US. Wish I could go elsewhere. Too old, not rich enough. Plus, this is my country, dammit, and I shouldn’t have to leave to be happy. Magic wand time. Poof. Make them (GOP & Oligarchs) all disappear.🤷‍♀️

You can be assured that if the US invades Cuba and eventually takes over its government that one of the very first things the US government will do is to shut down all of those solar parks.
