Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

If the NYT is a serious threat to US security, it has been by being so goddamned soft on Trump and fascism.

David Staples must be rolling around in his grave. Nah, of course he’s still alive and totally on board with all of this.

LET'S 'STREISAND EFFECT' THIS MOTHERFUCKER, EVERYONE!!!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisa...

Just waiting for him to pull off his mask, revealing a smiling Stephen Harper.

Big Mike was a master of subtlety, painstakingly crafting his Christmas greetings.

Gifting you this NYTimes article about how Jeffrey Epstein got rich. Good for 7 days. Feel free to share. Enjoy. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/m...

No thank you, Nazi hell site.

Congratulations Alberta, you elected Donald Trump.

In hindsight, voting for a folksy hockey metaphor may have not been the strategic win we all imagined.

Of course these guys made a deal with Danielle Smith, these guys ARE Danielle Smith.

Carney could personally finance a new pipeline and conservative pundits would claim it was just another example of Trudeau screwing Alberta.

Not sure how she’s going to handle it, but it’s probably going to somehow end up with Preston Manning on the payroll.

This and Carney likely knowing that this MOU would likely be used for electoral victory for the UCP. When the vast majority of progressive voters in Alberta chose him in defiance of Danielle Smith (for these very reasons). “Values” indeed.

It’s called “being good at politics.”

This gets at the fundamentally flawed approach of the federal government: they are trying to find a policy solution to an identity problem. It is part of the polarized, populist identity to be opposed to an Ottawa and Liberal Canada are not them. No policy will change that, as TMX revealed.

In the words of an AWS software engineer, "When the AI bubble pops, Amazon will have taken a huge amount of land, water, and wealth, and the public needs to know."

Adam Radwanski does a good roundup of the climate policy implications here. (I think I did a gift link?) Anyway, my concern is less about phantom pipelines than it is the future of emissions reductions, renewables and clean tech in AB & BC. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/64d9ad7...

This Banking Bro makes Poilievre seem charming by comparison.

People who care about climate change are “dreaming nostalgically about the past.” - Minister Hodgson Gotcha. That explains a lot.

I can’t say I’m looking forward to dying of some preventable, pollution related disease and going bankrupt in the process. Truly, The Alberta Advantage.

So what happens now? Does Danielle Smith call an election now that Carney has given her a win?

Giving Alberta an exemption to the Clean Electricity Standard means the policy is DOA. There’s no way SK isn’t asking for the same thing, as they restart coal plants. One Canadian economy? Nope. Likely scenario is no electricity regs at all, meaning we’re back to Harper-era policy.

I’d be worried about a) handing Danielle Smith a pipe to bludgeon you with (if it doesn’t get built), b) the possibility of more infrastructure (if it does) plus c) total capitulation (either way) from a guy who had previously marketed himself as someone who wouldn’t completely capitulate.

I thought the whole point of Bluesky was so that we can forget about the existence of Jen Gerson.

Carney’s approach here is very much in keeping with an observation Paul Wells made back in the summer, that he’s focused on short-term deliverables, not long-term governance challenges. The problem is, neglecting and failing to improve governance will leave Canada with weaker foundations.

If only there was some way for the state to get money from the “wealthy older Canadians” Like some kind of percentage you take each year that was in proportion to their ability to pay based on the amount of money their investments make? Or when they pass on inheritance? Wonder what we could call it

As predictable as Rick Bell.

Danielle is a fascist and she’s bending our institutions accordingly. Markham is right: she might dress things up so we can pretend that it’s just business as usual. But the longer she’s in power, the more ordinary Albertans will have to pay.

I feel like a lot of us in the comedy world failed the world at large when we stayed silent despite knowing all about Cosby and Louis so let me say right now that Steve Martin has eaten one banjo a year for the last 25 years

The nerve these people have

When Kenney is lying, he has a tell: he uses a $5 word.

The only rights that the UCP seem to care about, courtesy of their DM of Justice, Malcolm Lavoie, are the so-called "property rights" of Australian coal companies. In other words the non-constitutionally protected corporate property rights over real constitutionally protected human rights. #abpoli

Imagine losing “access” to this

I dunno, UCP Status of Women minister using a misogynistic expletive seems just about right to me.

We’re totally not even gonna come close to the Paris commitments, and we’re barely even virtue signaling.

You kiss Danielle Smith’s boots with that mouth?!?!?

Using power to compensate for inner weakness. Albertans have got to stop freely handing their lunch money over to these bullies.

We're all trying to find the guy who did this 🌭

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is NYT: but her emails

It will not surprise you to learn that many of these same countries are the ones moving to block the just transition mechanism--the thing that would actually help the world move away from fossil fuels--at #COP30

In the 2010s, Carney embraced climate finance. In the 2020s, he’s embraced boiling lakes.

This should make us all grab torches and pitchforks and start a revolution. Crypto billionaire Changpeng Xhao, ex-con recently pardoned by Trump, is now Canada's richest person according to the annual @macleans.bsky.social ranking: macleans.ca/longforms/th.... #cdnecon #canlab /2

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers. This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Bill Gates hasn’t made sense on Climate since he teamed up with Bjorn Lomberg in 2009. This is just a restating of Bjorn’s book from this year about how we have a finite amount of money and we shouldn’t use it for climate. What they get wrong is that climate solutions are now fully profitable.
