incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

A lot of "centrist" views about Canada's role in selling fossil fuels are that they are only supplying a product that someone else would if we didn't & that there is a "need". Of course this all ignores the reality that fossil fuel companies systematically

I went back and reviewed Carney's statements about climate change & Canadian fossil fuels during & before his election & it's pretty clear that he was a climate hypocrite & pretty much ran on that platform. I think most of the sentiment to the contrary was by people reading

Nice article from @apnews.com about how climate change boosted Hurricane Melissa's destructive winds and rain, analysis finds apnews.com/article/hurr...

Our children don't have a "war room". They don't have industries & governments with massive budgets to pump out lies about climate change, green initiatives & fossil fuel emissions. They have tiny underfunded groups that don't have the ear of billionaire controlled media.

So which will happen first, serious movement on climate change in Canada or Musk's self driving taxis? It's a trick question, neither are going to happen, but they both have lots of propaganda for you to buy.

Budget 2025 tells me that we have a federal government that is not serious about addressing climate change or climate commitments. This budget is presented with a backdrop of multiple scientific papers saying that we could be passing critical climate tipping points. Doesn't give me the warm fuzzies.

Congrats to the #ElbowsUp crowd! You elected Stephen Harper 2.0. We now have a Prime Minister who is anti-environment, anti-immigrant, and anti-worker who will put corporations & the military before the needs of Canadians. Can't wait to lose more public services thanks to y'all! #CDNPoli

I guess you can't really support Pathways without also making greenwashing legal at the same time

Ahhhh I see we are going to try to greenwash our climate commitments away. Very centrist of them. I'm sure the regular talking heads in Alberta will approve.

How Canadians deal with hostile takeover threats by fascist nations & the traitors within our borders. Comedy. I love you Canada. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2pF...

There are LOTS of credible reports that we are breaching multiple climate change tipping points. The conversations have already started to turn away from reality into nonsensical fiction, just like with COVID. The right will delve in to conspiracy fantasies & the centrists will

I love all the people that reply to climate change posts from scientists with "solutions" they have read in fiction books. 🤣 The only "solution" is to stop burning fossil fuels, move our society past 1800's technology. Start there. Do it as fast as you can.

This morning at the Standing Committee on Legislative Offices...UCP majority introduces a motion starting a search committee for a new auditor general. NDP MLA David Sheppard says Doug Wylie wants to stay on two more years. Wylie is reviewing the allegations of inappropriate health contracting.

Today Elections Alberta requested $13.5 million to be able to administer recalls and referendum. The UCP committee in charge revised their request to just over $1 million. And then voted it through. The UCP just defunded recall/referendum. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

You know sometimes I read things that stick with me. That really make me question what the hell is going on in this world. Reading someone with a straight face say "This is Exhibit A of a coddled society and an out of touch elite." because people don't want to face arsenic

A large part of my FB feed is people liking totally fake AI generated content. My youngest keeps commenting that everyone is worried about cell phone usage while they are being manipulated by AI videos. 🤣😵‍💫🙃 He's right. This is one going viral on my feeds right now.

Wow. We have people actually publicly saying Canadians should face the risk of Arsenic poisoning for profitability. 🙃 There are current law suits about it.

Despite the Alberta government’s publicly funded vaccine conspiracy nonsense, there is zero credible evidence that COVID vaccines cause complications at rates higher than any other trusted vaccine. In fact, there is extensive evidence that they are beneficial, not only in

Interesting piece: if Tesla collapses Musk’s entire empire could come crashing down because of the way he’s structured the companies’ finances.

There are a lot of centrists who's position is that as long as there is demand for oil, Canada should supply it. The real flaw in this is that the demand is not organic. The demand is imposed. There are viable & in many cases better & cheaper options.

Saw this on the other site, I'm not sure if they are on here or not. I think many people here would be surprised to learn that Canada is losing water at some of the highest rates on earth. Western provinces(AB,SK,MB) are in the top ten rates on the planet. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Oil lobbyists don't work for the best interests of Alberta or Albertans. They work for the best interests of themselves & oil companies. Part of their job is to convince you that your interests are the same as theirs. That's what you need to understand about AB gvt.

One of the best costumes I saw last night was a kid dressed up as a dragon that was made 100% from cardboard. Best looking & best idea.

Fascists maintain control of their populations with violence , democratic oligopolies do it with propaganda. It's important to understand that when living in a democratic oligopoly. The tricky part is trying to figure out if specific oligarch propaganda is mutually beneficial.

Yes Carney did apologize to the Felon for Ford running a truthful add. Carney has publicly said he did. I don't agree with it, but I'm going to assume he thinks there is nothing to be gained by running ads in the US for any reason. He's probably right. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Ontario has stopped hosting the report of the SARS Commission. It looks like it is still available via archive-it, but this is a reminder of how vulnerable digital records that embarrass powerful people can be. wayback.archive-it.org/17275/202203...

This is really the fundamental question right now. Is it officially the Premier of Alberta's job to be an oil lobbyist? Even at the expense of some of the most critical events in our Province? I suspect many think it is.

People aren't dying from climate change, they are dying with climate change. I mean it worked really well once. 🙃

So why was it so urgent for Smith to go to Saudi Arabia that she couldn't even stay to finish removing Albertan's charter protected rights? Well there aren't many people that want to finance Canada busting projects, but there are some ... theijf.org/saudi-invest...

And here's how that compares to what was pledged at Paris 10 years ago. Global emissions should be rapidly declining NOT sill increasing!

So under the government of FrEeDoM activists, anti-vaxers, climate change deniers, separatists & anti-canadians teachers have had their pensions seized & their rights guaranteed by the Canadian charter & the Alberta bill of rights suspended.

Let's be clear about what happened today. Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights, denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it, and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

The not withstanding clause was always intended to create a pseudo-monarchy. Literally to maintain Legislative supremacy over judicial review. In other words queen Dani gets to overrule the laws of the land. Alberta (and the usual suspects in Alberta) were key figures in it's creation.

An important note… Smith isn’t just overriding the federal Charter… She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This should be Canada wide. If the openly corrupt government in Alberta does this & succeeds, you can guarantee the other provinces will follow. This is one of the core principals of democracy.

So our corrupt provincial Government launches one of the most direct attacks on Democracy in Canada & their leader doesn't even have the grace to attend the disgrace or even stay in the country.

This is a direct threat to democracy in Canada. There needs to be a general strike.

Listening to the legislature vote to remove charter rights while people are cough choking in the background is like the icing on the cake of corrupt & dysfunctional governance that is so popular now ....🫠

Me too.
