An extraordinary mapping of Big Food/Big Ag's influence at COP30, by @rachelsherrington.bsky.social and co at @desmog.com.

The rage farmer discourse is such that this camera store is closing in Old Montreal is blaming bike lanes yet … there are no bike lanes in front of their store. Amazing. montrealgazette.com/business/loc...

This is the technology the Government of Canada, most businesses, and all our universities are pouring scarce resources into. Gonna work out great

With everything going on these days, it’s easy to miss when local governments get up to some sketchy stuff. Take Vancouver, where Mayor Ken Sims is planning to eliminate the city’s sustainability and climate department!!! Yes, really. My partners at @nationalobserver.com have the scoop:

Being let down by careerist hacks and big money lap dogs like Schumer, Shaheen, King etc for selling out the people is like being disappointed in an alligator for eating your poodle.

The northern lights are the new baseball.

“If Montreal isn't learning from the cities around the world that are finding new ways to solve the housing, affordability and climate crises, we may as well give up now and call ourselves Calgary 2.” An editorial by @taylornoakes.com. Montreal needs to learn from other cities

this is literally never not accurate

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Good piece by @desmog.com on the Telegraph’s record of having to issue ‘corrections’ on its stories about climate change (and yes, there’s some quotes from me) www.desmog.com/2025/11/10/t...

if LOTS of people sign up to speak and go to city hall starting Wednesday, that will prevent council from making decisions on the budget since they are required to hear all the registered speakers first Sign up here council.vancouver.ca/20251112/spe...

God I hate the Democratic establishment The suckiest bunch of sucks who ever sucked

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Friends, can I ask a favour. Our latest Honest Government out is a serious warning to Canada from Australia, which acts as a cautionary tail about the harms of the gas (LNG) export industry... Hence the cameo (spoiler alert) from our own aussie climate criminals, Woodside Energy 1/🧵

If we needed more evidence that Projet Montréal isn't a left-wing party, this tweet captures it. Mamdani has never emphasized equity or inclusion (liberal concepts), but the redistribution of wealth and power from the wealthy to the working class (in all its diversity).

"Far from a peak, China's gasoline demand is estimated to have fallen 9% in October on the year to 12.5 million tons, with average daily use roughly flat with September..." China's oil demand is entering structural decline.

The Mamdani text generator has some important messages to share.

BREAKING President Trump has granted a pardon to a slew of Trump world figures, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

“Before” is optimistic

“This is a lack of leadership from the mayor-elect of Montreal. We hoped her arrival would allow us to find a way out of this crisis, particularly with her promises around public transport. Unfortunately, she told us that it wasn’t her priority.” #polmtl

Did SoCal air quality regulators just vote to cut pollution at the ports of L.A. and Long Beach, or did they give the ports a free pass? Environmental justice advocates worry it was the latter: www.latimes.com/environment/...

In Canada, this has changed significantly -- the rich have never been richer and a majority of low income renters live in property that solely exists to funnel profits to shareholders via rents and disrepair.

omg. Meta clearly trying to polarize the issue of digital sovereignty by running this in the Hub.

Tesla driver, were the entitlement not obvious enough

Think of this every time American news media makes fun of the eccentricities of other despots, because Gaddafi, Putin, the Kim family… none of them are anywhere near this delusional

This is actually so nuts. Emblematic of having no one around you who will tell you “no.” What do you mean he actually walks around like this!!!!!

My favourite hotel on earth (at least in Montreal). It is really a brutalist low rise motor hotel high a top of a concrete plinth. It remains gorgeous & perfect 60 years later. Heaven.

Great to see a full-page ad in Le Devoir condemning Canada's military spending.

Deeply appreciate Canada’s media union speaking out against this multimillion dollar lawsuit An attack on one is an attack on all If they can do this to me, they can do this to you

What more is there to say at this point?

Contempt and a day in jail—at least. Then there’s a chance his conduct can be stopped. Fail to jail a man like this doing something like this and he’ll start doing things 500% worse. If Trump had been jailed for his NYMA Attempted Murder, none of what’s happened would’ve happened.

Hi, I'm Kevin O'Leary, millionaire, Trump lover, Canadian, fraud, bad investor, and person who worships income disparity and believes people in poverty should admire the 1%. Here is why I am extremely angry and confused that I was not Zohran Mamdani's first priority and favourite special little boy

If you were looking at a newspaper (or its website) this morning and didn't see this iconic photo, it was an intentional choice to pander.

The Statue of Liberty is being redesigned so she will now perpetually hold up a burning Bible. France is in full support and footing the bill.

He does economically hit the highlights. Plagiarism, energy/environment, and horseshit. Check, check, check.

Art can charm. It can provoke. And it can even dismantle the idea of a continent—or build it. Writer Sarah E. K. Smith takes a deep dive into the tug-of-war between creativity, culture, and capitalism: thewalrus.ca/the-wild-protest...

Schumer is a giant creep but he’s a symptom not the problem. The Dem Party is built only to fight constructive change and serve big donors. We need to defeat BOTH parties.

Folks…

All because some of you out there are still buying Teslas from a Nazi.
